Overview
Our script allows you to have a quick & easy payment terminal for your clients to pay with major credit cards (Visa, Master Card, American Express, Diners Club) on your website (without leaving it), as well as paypal payments through paypal gateway. Installation and configuration of the script takes less than 5 minutes (however you do need to have SSL and FirstData Global Gateway e4 merchant account, and optional paypal account). There are 3 options to pay: 1) customers can *input price themselves* and type description, 2) you can turn on *pre-defined services* and customers will select service from dropdown and 3) customers can select *recurring services from dropdown*
We used PayPal Website Payments Standard functionality for both onetime PayPal payments and recurring PayPal payments.
Server Requirements
1) PHP 5.0+
2) cURL must be enabled to accept payments (contact your hosting provider if unsure).
3) SSL certificate must be installed in order to go live.
Installation
Fresh installation is pretty simple.
1) Unzip the contents of the file which you downloaded from codecanyon.net.

Live / Test Modes
You need to set variable on line 45 in includes/config.php to TRUE to use LIVE MODE and switch to FALSE to use TEST MODE
Also don’t forget to set sandbox mode to false for paypal on line 76 in same file (if paypal payments are enabled on line 69).
