Title: Paypal Pro
Post by: ober on August 12, 2011, 04:36:42 PM

In their documentation, they mention storing the credentials (3 variables) in a 'secure' location.  I'm not sure what they mean by that.  Does that mean storing them outside of the public root and then including a file with that information at runtime?  How else would you do that?

Doesn't PayPal use SOAP? Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but i'm pretty sure they store credentials securely, and then pass it when it is needed with the SOAP API

They have SOAP and NVP.  I'm using NVP.
