for details.
PARMLIST Syntax Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when creating the PARMLIST:
TABLE 3.1 Connection parameters
Argument Required Description
HOSTADDRESS Yes PayPal’s host name.
For live transactions, use payflowpro.verisign.com
For testing purposes, use pilot-payflowpro.verisign.com
HOSTPORT Yes Use port 443
PARMLIST Yes The PARMLIST is the list of parameters that specify the payment
information for the transaction. The quotation marks “ ” at the beginning
and end are required. In the example, the ParmList is:
“TRXTYPE=S&TENDER=C&PARTNER=PayPal&VENDOR=SuperMercha
nt&USER=SuperMerchant&PWD=x1y2z3&ACCT=555555555555444
4&EXPDATE=0308&AMT=123.00”
The content of the PARMLIST varies by the type of transaction being
processed. For example, a Void transaction requires a different set of
parameters than does a Sale transaction.
“Parameters Used in Credit Card Transactions” on page 19 defines the
parameters used to create credit card transactions. “Values Required by
All Transaction Types” on page 23 lists the parameters required by each
transaction type.
TIMEOUT Yes Time-out period for the transaction. The minimum recommended time-
out value is 30 seconds. The PayPal client begins tracking from the time
that it sends the transaction request to the PayPal server.
PROXYADDRESS No Proxy server address. Use the PROXY parameters for servers behind a
firewall. Your network administrator can provide the values.
PROXYPORT No Proxy server port
PROXYLOGON No Proxy server logon ID
PROXYPASSWORD No Proxy server logon password
