Is Prestashop boycotting Paypal now?

Hi

I have been away for a while

As the title asks... Is Prestashop boycotting Paypal now?

Why is the free Paypal gateway no longer included with Prestashop?

You can download latests free module here 

http://addons.prestashop.com/en/payments-gateways-prestashop-modules/1748-paypal.html?utm_source=prestashop.com&utm_medium=payment-page&utm_campaign=internal-linking

 

But if you ask why it is not included in default install, think maybe they pushed most payment gateways out for some time.

Because there are lot of different payment gateways and while PayPal is popular not everyone is using it.

 

And there is no boycott, it is just business and parter contracts. There was some time ago nice free Stripe module

available but when contact ended, they remove it so now there are nice but paid Stripe modules.

Thanks for the response and the link

Does the Europe version work in Australia?

 

I am currently looking into Skrill... looks like the fee's might be cheaper than Paypal

PrestaShop split the original  'free' PayPal module into:

 

1. PayPal USA/Canada/Mexico

requires proper shop localization-->localization-->see advance-->country identifier (tip: don't change as can cause unpredictable results and downtime).

 

2. PayPal EU - is everywhere outside of USA/Canada/Mexico

checks shop country localization warning at install for non-->USA/Canada/Mexico

v.3.7.2 as my shop is localized US, module config allowed me to change, I set to Australia.

 

So should work but if you have some issues contact https://www.prestashop.com/forums/user/42704-202ecommerce/ as they 

are taking care of that free module.

 

For Skrill I can not say much for module and merchant account, but I use it with personal account and works OK.

Can't say I saw many topic with users having issues with Prestashop module so maybe more stable or just people use it less.

 

Also check https://www.prestashop.com/en/industry-partners and for Australia there are few payment options Authorize.net is also

popular worldwide. But you can check paid modules also and maybe some of Australia only. Check what other merchants use.

For example found http://addons.prestashop.com/en/payments-gateways-prestashop-modules/19090-eway-payments-prestashop.html 

but can't say anything about module or payment gateway.

In Australia does anyone have install instruction for PayPal Gateway :-(

@Blak Melbourne

 

I had to email via Prestashop Addons to get install instructions for PayPal's Website Hosted Payments Pro - I gather this is what you mean by 'PayPal Gateway'?

 

Still haven't got it working though, the install instructions are long and hard to follow

Use Paypal Europe. The name Europe is not really the best, because the module is for ALL OTHER COUNTRIES, except USA and Canada.
