With the WP Adverts – PayPal Payments Standard Addon, WPAdverts can be easily integrated with the PayPal payment standard, which will allow anyone with a PayPal account or credit card to easily pay for advertising on your website. After the payment is completed, the WPAdverts Payments module will automatically process the transaction and approve the client’s advertisement without you having to do any work.
This is EXACTLY the same product as distributed by the developer. Sales Page
1. Key Features
-
Off-Site Security: Since this uses “PayPal Standard,” customers are redirected to PayPal’s secure site to complete the transaction. This means your website doesn’t handle sensitive credit card data directly.
-
Automatic Approval: If configured with PayPal IPN (Instant Payment Notification), the addon can automatically change an ad’s status from “Pending” to “Published” the moment the payment is verified.
-
Guest Checkout: Users do not necessarily need a PayPal account; they can often pay using a credit/debit card as a guest (depending on the user’s region and your PayPal settings).
-
Transaction Logs: It integrates with the WPAdverts “Payments History” panel, allowing you to track all incoming transactions and their statuses.
