Chapter 3 explains how to add e-commerce plugins into an online shop that is based on the TYPO3 CMS. Also, payments processing using the tt_products extension can be realized with an extra extension called "paymentlib_paypal". This extension will help to integrate the payment system for a PayPal account quickly and successfully.
The main PayPal service advantage is the possibility to accept and manage credit cards. If you are going to use bank systems with corresponding payment systems, you should remember that the integration can be complicated and takes time.
You could start using the extension "payment_paypal" by installing the following:
- The extra extension "static_info_tables" (for country codes, currency, and other information)
- A PayPal test account (recommended for testing gateway)
- A shop extention—in our in case, "tt_products"
If you use a PayPal account for processing payments, all the money will be stored in your PayPal account. Then, as and when required, you can transfer the money from the PayPal account to your bank account.
Also, PayPal is an extra safety guarantee for your transactions. Using PayPal reduces the risk of using useless credit cards in your online shop.
