 ===== 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)

+  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 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.
