At GTP we can help you implement online credit card processing through PayPal.  Our e-commerce platform is PayPal integrated so that even if you are a start up business with no merchant account, you can accept orders and credit card and bank funded payments through your GTP E-Commerce web site.

Why Set Up with GTP and Take Payments Via PayPal?

Because it's easy and PayPal is a highly trusted brand in Australia!  If you would like to use PayPal to process your credit cards payments online and have it seamlessly integrated with your Australian built GTP web site, then here is what you need to do!

1. Set up a Business account with PayPal. Go to PayPal Here and click on Sign Up.
   
   Cost: When you accept payments with a Business account there are fees of 1.1% to 2.4% + AU$0.30 per domestic transaction with no hidden costs like monthly or set-up fees, making PayPal an affordable and cost-effective way to manage your payments.
    
2. Select PayPal as a payment option in your web site Checkout Setup Options.
    
3. You need to make sure the email address in PayPal is the same one you use for your GTP E-Commerceweb site.  The email address ties the accounts together. Accepting payments via PayPal can be setup immediately.

Pulling Customers Phone Number from PayPal into The Checkout

You can set up your PayPal account's preferences to require the phone number to be supplied when customers are making a purchase. In your PayPal account, click on Profile, then Website Payment Preferences, then enable the option under Contact telephone number.

Because we find that customers who provide a phone number for physical purchases are less likely to be fraudulent and because it makes it easier to provide good customer service we generally require the phone number in the GTP checkout unless you have specific reasons for not requiring it.

Please feel free to call the GTP Web Design Team if you would like to talk further about our Australian turnkey e-commerce web site solutions and integration with PayPal for your current shopping cart web site.
