We are considering switching from Chase Paymentech to PayPal Pro to process all of our online credit card payments. Was wondering if any other merchants who switched from Chase Paymentech to PayPal Pro would share their experience? We also use PayPal Express on our site. Anything to watch out for? I find it pretty painless to reconcile deposit/refunds on our bank statements against batches using Chase's Orbital Virtual Terminal. Does PayPal have something similar? Is there a way to distinguish between PayPal Express Orders vs. those using credit/debit cards? Do you find PayPal to be a reliable gateway? Any feedback posted to this thread or via PM would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Originally posted by papi34 View PostThanks for the reply. How long ago was it that you experienced the problems with lost PayPal orders using PayPal Pro? I've read about problems on these forums with Payflow Pro 5 or 6 years ago. From what I can gather, PayPal bought out Payflow Pro which evolved into PayPal Pro - is that right?

Re: PayPal Pro vs Chase Paymentech
PayPal Pro is not the same thing as PayPal Advanced and neither are the same thing as PayFlow Pro by PayPal (I know it's confusing).
PayPal Pro is a traditional API gateway and should never ever have the issue above. PayPal Advanced uses PayFlow Link Hosted which iFrames in a checkout screen. The benefit of PayPal Advanced is that it takes you out of PCI Scope, but in very very rare circumstances you can have an issue like was described.
So if you're considering PayPal Payments Pro vs Chase Paymentech, the first question I'd ask is why? Is it pricing or something else?
If it's pricing, talk to Chase, they might cut your pricing. If it's something else, then let me know and I'll do my best to answer?

Re: PayPal Pro vs Chase Paymentech
Can't speak to using PayPal as a processor but am very happy with the PayPal HERE dongle for offsite events. I've used it on an iPad via wifi and on an Android phone via both wifi and cell data with rock solid performance. Best part is the single level pricing. The flat 2.7 percent comes out pretty close to the total of the transaction cost and innumerable other fees on our statements. It's also paid in realtime so when a customer pays we get an email within seconds confirming not just the charge but actually deposited in our PayPal balance (Bing! You've got cash!). We also didn't have to set up another processor since we take PayPal in the Miva store.Keith Oratz
