Hi there,

I am currently using the PayPal API for vBulletin Paid Subscriptions. How does vBcart integrate with PayPal? Will it interfere in any way with my vBulletin Paid Subscriptions?

Thanks!

Hi,

No it will not. I am using my own API and I transmit the IPN and return URL to paypal, which bypasses the one that you set in Paypal. However you would need and authorization token ID from Paypal, which you probably have

Great, thanks for the quick response! Re: authorization token, I have a PayPal Business Verified merchant account, so I presume that I probably have that (though I don't know for sure).

It's a long encrypted number, given to you by Paypal about 32 digits

Hi,
Just purchased vbcart, have premium paypal account. Funny but i have no idea where do i get this token ID on paypal site ?
Before i've used IPN with different site (not vbcart) and i didnt needed any "tokens".
So, basicaly, could someone guide me what and where i should click in paypal to get this freaking code ?

Thanks.

Go to paypal -> Profile -> Selling Preferences -> Website Payment Preferences scroll down to payment data transfer and look for identity token.

Any more paypal questions should be directed to paypal.
