PAYPAL COMMERCE PLATFORM FOR LIGHTSPEED DOCUMENTATION

Version 1.1
Last updated 01-07-2020


INSTALLATION

When installing the Paypal application, you can access the PayPal application
through the Lightspeed App platform.

During installation you will be prompted to fill in your email address, so that
PayPal can determine if you need to create an account or can login to an
existing account. If you already have an account, you can login, accept that our
application is connecting with your PayPal account and skip the following steps
until “Configuration”.


ONBOARDING

When you do not have an PayPal account yet, you can immediately start creating
an account with PayPal. When you use the same email address in your shop and for
onboarding with PayPal, we are able to pre-fill some information based on the
data available in your shop. You will have to give access within your PayPal
account to give API access for Lightspeed. After finalizing you can return to
the Lightspeed environment using the button to continue with configuration.


CONFIGURATION

After completing installation and onboarding you will be presented with a
settings screen for your Lightspeed app. You can access this settings screen
again through your Lightspeed admin (just as you did when installing this
application) and a session is valid for 15 minutes, if you need to change any
other settings after this time period, you have to go through your Lightspeed
Backoffice.




SETTINGS

The following settings can be configured:

 * Use PayPal as payment method
   
   Enabling this option allows you to use PayPal as a Lightspeed Payment Method
   when this is available.

 * Use Local payments methods
   
   Enabling this option allows you to use Local payment methods as a Lightspeed
   Payment Method during regular checkout.
   
   Note: This option can only be selected if PayPal is enabled as payment
   method.

 * Use Creditcard as payment method
   
   Enabling this option allows you to use Creditcard as a Lightspeed Payment
   Method during regular checkout.

 * Use credit card as a separate payment method
   
   If you enable this option, you can offer payment via credit card as a
   separate payment method. The transaction will appear as a credit card payment
   within your PayPal account.




THE SHORTCUT FUNCTION OF PAYPAL

“Shortcut” is the option from PayPal to show the payment button earlier in the
user flow. PayPal completes the order in the background and consumers do not
need to fill in their shipping address. Shortcut has the advantage that the
order can be completed sooner and there are less steps for the consumer. However
the consument has less choice of freedom, for example for choosing shipping
options, etc. Another disadvantage could be that consumers will immediately buy
a product, before they have the ability to add more products to their cart.

For short, shortcut can be a powerful tool to have consumers check out sooner
and prevent the user dropping out. Determine for yourself whether this is the
right application for your webshop.



 * Shortcut on product detail page
   
   Enabling this option allows your customers to buy a product using PayPal
   directly from the product page. This allows them to skip your shops checkout
   proces and immediately pay with their PayPal account.
   
   Note: The checkout button will only be visible if PayPal is selected as a
   payment method.

 * Shortcut on cart page
   
   Enabling this option allows your customers to checkout their cart using
   PayPal directly from the cart page. This allows them to skip your shops
   checkout proces and immediately pay with their PayPal account.
   
   Note: The checkout button will only be visible if PayPal is selected as a
   payment method.

Note: When using the PayPal shortcut, you cannot use custom shipping modules as
the order is created by the PayPal app and the default shipping method is
automatically applied.

 * Upload logo
   
   Upload a logo here (maximum 400x200) so that during the checkout this logo is
   visible on the checkout page.






CUSTOM LOCATION

When using a custom theme, you might need or want a different placement for the
PayPal shortcut buttons. By selecting the “Custom” option for any of the
supported settings. You can then use a CSS selector to define the element where
the PayPal button should be loaded on the page. For more information see

REFUNDS

When you create a return within Lightspeed, and this return has the status
'authorized', the payment will automatically be refunded within PayPal. If the
full order has been returned, shipping costs will also be automatically refunded
to the consumer. You can not disable this setting.

You can create a return by opening the specific order within Lightspeed and use
the 'Return' button and mark the products that have been returned. As soon as
the status is set to 'Authorized', the payment will be refunded to the consumer.
