To set up PayPal as a payment option for use with this software follow the steps below:

1. Log in to your Business or Premier PayPal account. You must have a Business or Premier account with PayPal to accept payments through PayPal.
2. Go to the 'Profile' subtab.
3. Click on the 'My selling tools' in the left column.
4. Click on the 'Update' link next 'instant payment notification'..
5. Click the 'edit settings' button.
6. You should now be in a page to configure this setting. Check the 'Receive IPN messages (Enabled)' choice and enter the URL for your site into the 'Notification URL' box. The URL set here is used as the "default" URL to receive the IPN Signal. The URL should end with transaction_process.php?gateway=paypal, for instance if the software was installed on example.com, the URL would be http://example.com/transaction_process.php?gateway=paypal¹⁾
7. Click the 'Save' button
8. 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)

These settings are set by clicking configure next to Paypal in the Geo admin panel, on the page Payments > Payment Gateways

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

This is the hosting company the Geo software is installed on. If your hosting company is Godaddy, or a subsidiary of Godaddy, you will need to select Godaddy, otherwise select "All Others".

This setting will determine the method that the software uses to communicate with Paypal, because communications with Paypal are done differently on Godaddy servers.

If you are not sure, select "All Others".

This is the email address id of your main PayPal business or Premier PayPal 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.

See https://www.paypal.com/IntegrationCenter/ic_micropayments.html on the paypal.com site for more information.

This is the dollar amount, for how low an order total must be before it is considered a micro payment, and thus uses the micro payment Paypal account. We recommend leaving at the default of $12 unless using a different currency.

Only used when Use Micro-Payment account is checked. This is the e-mail account to use when processing orders that fall under the For transactions less than setting.

This image will appear on the paypal payment form as your company logo. The url you enter must be an absolute https url, e.g. https://www.yoursite.com/image/someimage.jpg. It cannot be a relative url. Make sure the url is https so your users will not receive the non-secure page error while at paypal.com.

This is the title that will be sent to Paypal, and displayed on Paypal when the user is paying for anything using Paypal.

This is the currency you accept at PayPal. PayPal only accepts certain currencies (found in the drop-down) at this time. Specify which one of those you accept here.

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 account²⁾, 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).

The Paypal payment gateway is for Standard Paypal payments, sometimes referred to as Paypal IPN.
