E-Commerce with PayPal® Payflow Pro®

Polaris supports integrated credit card payment processing using the credit card processing service PayPal® Payflow Pro®. You can accept credit card payments from the staff client, Polaris PowerPAC and Mobile PAC, and Polaris ExpressCheck for charges on the patron account and donations to the library (PAC only). A separate license is required for each application. You can set up credit card processing at the system, library, or branch level; you can make separate settings for the staff client, PAC, and Polaris ExpressCheck.

To accept credit card payments with PayPal, your library establishes an account with PayPal directly, or with an e-commerce provider such as a bank that offers PayPal Payflow Pro payment processing.

To set up Polaris for PayPal Payflow Pro credit card processing, you will need the following information regarding the library’s Payflow Pro account:

Vendor (library) name, user name and password
Partner code (PayPal or your e-commerce provider)
PayPal’s server name
