Payflow Pro Setup Guide

This guide will walk you through the process of getting set up to collect payments via the Payflow Pro gateway.

Notes:

• It is highly recommended that you run at least one successful real money transaction through Spreedly before exposing it to your customers.
• If you find any discrepancies between this document and the actual process, please let us know. We do not have ongoing access to the payment gateway backends and thus rely on our clients to help us keep these guides updated.

Add a new gateway:

Now fill in the three fields, using your Payflow Pro credentials ("PayPal" is the default partner, but you can specify a different one if you need to):

As a final step, select which payment methods to use with Payflow Pro:

You should now be all set to go. As mentioned above, we highly recommend you run at least one real money transaction before exposing Spreedly to your customers.
