PayPal Payflow Pro is a payment gateway that allows you to take credit card payments on your Shopify store. In order to use PayPal Payflow Pro, you will need to sign up for a PayPal account and then obtain a Payflow Pro account from PayPal. Once you have both of these accounts, you can then follow the instructions below to set up your Shopify store to accept credit card payments via PayPal Payflow Pro.

Step One: Log in to your Shopify admin panel and click on Settings in the left-hand sidebar. Then click on Payment Providers in the sub-menu that appears.

Step Two: On the Payment Providers page, scroll down to the Alternative Payments section and click on the [+] button next to PayPal Powered by Braintree. This will open a modal window with more information about this payment gateway.

Step Three:In the modal window, select Express Checkout via Braintree Drop-in UI. This will enable the Braintree Drop-in UI for your store, which will allow customers to pay with their credit cards without leaving your site.

(Optional): You can also enable the following options if you wish:

  • [ ] Enable 3D Secure verification for cards that support it (recommended)
  • [ ] Enable Store Cards (if you plan on accepting store credit cards such as Visa Checkout, Masterpass, or Discover Network)

(Optional): If you want to offer your customers the option to pay with PayPal, you can enable the “Pay with PayPal”button on the checkout page.
