mattkenefick Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 If I use PayPal Payflow Pro or something like that.. Does my server need to be secure.. or when I use cURL and send to their HTTPS , is that all that matters??

dustinnoe Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Do you have a paypal sandbox account? If so, the forum there is awesome for answering this type of question.

mattkenefick Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 I think I used to but I gave it up cause there was never anyone answering anything on it. Latest posted would be like 2 weeks old with no replies or anything.

mattkenefick Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 This isn't a paypal specific question. it's just about e-commerce in general. Like.. 2CheckOut or whoever offers those kinds of APIs that you authenticate with.

dustinnoe Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 I was playing around in the sandbox about a year ago and always found answers on the forum. Although I don't really know the answer to your question here is my thought on the subject. If you have a page where you are collecting sensitive information(ie. Credit card numbers) it needs to be secure.

hvle Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 No you do not need secure server for paypal. All sensitive information like cc, address are to be entered inside paypal server and it is already secured. However, you need SS for other credit card using merchant account.
