Whois.com Pte Ltd has directly integrated the PayPal API within our system, such that by mentioning a few details in your interface and your Business PayPal account, you can safely and securely collect money from your Customers and Sub-Resellers.

When your Customer/Sub-Reseller decides to pay you through this Payment Gateway, we send all the variables via an API Call to the PayPal Server, to get the transaction authenticated. All this while your Customer/Sub-Reseller continues to remain within their Control Panel itself.

Before you start

You will need to verify/perform the following before you start:

• Verify that you have a Business PayPal account only. You cannot integrate a Personal PayPal account with our System.

• Apply for Website Payment Pro account.
