class ActiveMerchant::Billing::PayflowExpressGateway

General Parameters

The following parameters are supported for setup_authorization, setup_purchase, authorize and purchase transactions. I’ve read in the docs that they recommend you pass the exact same parameters to both setup and authorize/purchase.

This information was gleaned from a mix of:

The following parameters are currently supported.

:ip

(opt) Customer IP Address

:order_id

(opt) An order or invoice number. This will be passed through to the Payflow backend at manager.paypal.com, and show up as “Supplier Reference #”

:description

(opt) Order description, shown to buyer (after redirected to PayPal). If Order Line Items are used (see below), then the description is suppressed. This will not be passed through to the Payflow backend.

:billing_address

(opt) See ActiveMerchant::Billing::Gateway for details

:shipping_address

(opt) See ActiveMerchant::Billing::Gateway for details

:currency

(req) Currency of transaction, will be set to USD by default for PayFlow Express if not specified

:email

(opt) Email of buyer; used to pre-fill PayPal login screen

:payer_id

(opt) Unique PayPal buyer account identification number, as returned by details_for request

:token

(req for authorize & purchase) Token returned by setup transaction

:no_shipping

(opt) Boolean for whether or not to display shipping address to buyer

:address_override

(opt) Boolean. If true, display shipping address passed by parameters, rather than shipping address on file with PayPal

:allow_note

(opt) Boolean for permitting buyer to add note during checkout. Note contents can be retrieved with details_for transaction

:return_url

(req) URL to which the buyer’s browser is returned after choosing to pay.

:cancel_return_url

(req) URL to which the buyer is returned if the buyer cancels the order.

:notify_url

(opt) Your URL for receiving Instant Payment Notification (IPN) about this transaction.

:comment

(opt) Comment field which will be reported to Payflow backend (at manager.paypal.com) as Comment1

:comment2

(opt) Comment field which will be reported to Payflow backend (at manager.paypal.com) as Comment2

:discount

(opt) Total discounts in cents

Line Items

Support for order line items is available, but has to be enabled on the PayFlow backend. This is what I was told by Todd Sieber at Technical Support:

You will need to call Payflow Support at 1-888-883-9770, choose option #2. Request that they update your account in “Pandora” under Product Settings >> PayPal Mark and update the Features Bitmap to 1111111111111112. This is 15 ones and a two.

The following keys are supported for line items:

:quantity
