The PayPal Payflow Pro Payment Gateway allows you to create a PayPal payment gateway, integrated directly within your site (rather than through the PayPal website, as is the case with the PayPal Payment Gateway).

The PayPal Payflow Pro Payment Gateway currently supports credit and debit card payment processing only.

The PayPal Payflow Pro Payment Gateway accepts the following card types:

• American Express
• American Express Corporate
• Diners Club
• Visa Delta
• Discover
• JCB
• Laser
• Maestro
• MasterCard
• Solo
• Visa Electron
