 ===== Paypal Setup Instructions =====
-To set up PayPal as a payment option for use with this software follow the steps below:
+[[startup_tutorial_and_checklist:feature_configuration:payments:off_site_gateways:paypal_standard|See here in the support wiki for these details]]
-  - Log in to your Business or Premier PayPal account. You must have a Business or Premier account with PayPal to accept payments through PayPal.
-  - Go to the 'Profile' subtab.
-  - Click on the 'Instant Payment Notification Preferences' link in the 'Selling Preferences' column.
-  - Click Edit.
-  - Check the box and enter the URL for your site.  The URL set here is used as the "default" URL to receive the //IPN Signal//.  It needs to be filled in, but it is actually not used by the Geo software, because the software tells Paypal a specific IPN Url to use that over-writes this //default// setting.  You do need to make sure that the field is not left blank, however.
-  - Click Save
-  - In your Geo admin panel, enable the gateway, and click "configure" to make sure the settings are set correctly (see below for the explanation of each setting)

+Also make sure the following settings within the admin tool are correct for your site.  View the suggestions/help concerning those settings for more.  If these are incorrect the IPN return signal will go to the wrong url:

+  SITE SETUP > GENERAL SETTINGS > "Base File Name"

 === Use Micro-Payment account ===
-Check this box to enable the ability to use a different e-mail account for orders under a certain amount.
+Check this box to enable the ability to use a different e-mail account for orders that total less than a certain amount.
 Using a separate account for Micropayments is a way to use a different account which is specifically set up in Paypal with different merchant fees and rates that are more desirable for small payments.

 This is the multiplier your total will by multiplied by to get the PayPal Currency Total for the current transaction. For example, if your site accepts Mexican Pesos, but you can only accept US Dollars through your PayPal account((Paypal actually now accepts Mexican Pesos, but for this illustration pretend they do not)), you must enter a rate multiplier to find the cost of the listing in US dollars. Round the exchange multiplier to 4 decimal places (e.g. 11.1111).
