This PayPal implementation should be used if you expect a consumer to checkout without entering any identifiable information. If however you are capturing the consumer’s name prior to checkout (including on a lead page), then you may find it simpler to use this improved workflow to process PayPal transactions. |

Authorization trials (such as Hold Trial Charge, Authorize and Void, etc.) are not supported through PayPal Seamless Checkout |
Note |
---|
You must use live PayPal credentials. Using sandbox credentials will result in an error reading “Security error: Security header is not valid” |
