PayPal Connector Implementation

  1. Summary
  2. License Fulfillment to Buyer
  3. Email Notifications

 

The following sections explain how to integrate PayPal and software_DNA. In summary, you will need to perform the following:


  1. Within your PayPal account
    • Configure the PayPal IPN Notification to connect to software_DNA.
    • Set-up PayPal Buy or Subscribe buttons
  2. Within the DNA Control Panel
    • Create the PayPal Connector for each of your DNA Products using PayPal
    • Add the PayPal Item ID’s to the Connector, and specify the License parameters to be used when generating the License Activation Code for this Item ID purchase.
  3. Test the Connector

    Issuing Test Orders from the PayPal SandBox will allow you to test the end-to-end process as experienced by your customers, including the purchase order form and process on PayPal, receipt of the License Activation Code, downloading your application, installing and activating your application.

 

License Fulfillment to Buyer

When your customer completes their purchase, software_DNA will email the License Activation Code to the Buyer's email address received from PayPal.

 

Notification Emails to you

You will receive the following Emails:

  • Order confirmation emails from PayPal
  • Notification emails from software_DNA on a succesful transaction (if configured in the Connector)
  • Error Notifications if any errors occured when processing the transaction and if software_DNA can identify that the transaction was related to one of your Products. With some errors (ex: wrong ProductID), our Tech Support team will receive a Notification Email and will contact you
