Setting up a PayPal account

Setting up PayPal in Pulley

To begin selling your Pulley products with PayPal, head over to the Settings > Checkout page and give us three bits of info:

• PayPal email - the email address associated with your PayPal Business or Premier account
• Success URL - the URL you’d like customers to return to after successfully placing an order
• Cancel URL - the URL you’d like customers to return to if they don’t complete the checkout process

Pro tip: you can override the success and cancel URLs on any product link by adding parameters such as:

http://pul.ly/b/12345?success_url=http://success.com&cancel_url=http://cancel.com

Creating a PayPal account

To use PayPal on Pulley you’ll need a PayPal Business or Premier account. If you don’t already have one, signing up is easy (and free).

Premier account

1. Visit PayPal’s website and click Sign Up Today.
2. Select your country or region, your language, and choose Premier account.
3. Fill in all of the required fields presented and click Agree and Create Account.

Business account

1. Visit PayPal’s website and click Sign Up Today.
2. Select your country or region, your language, and choose Business account.
3. Select Website Payments Standard for your Payment Solution and click continue.
4. Follow the three steps to complete your registration. For Step 1, select Other for your Sales Venue(s).

Making a PayPal account optional for your buyers

Your customers are not required to have a PayPal account to purchase your Pulley products. They can pay using only a credit card if they choose. This is a feature available to Premier and Business PayPal accounts. Learn more »

This should be enabled in your PayPal account by default, but just in case you can head to the Profile > Website Payment Preferences section of your PayPal account, and turn on PayPal Account Optional.

If you don’t see an option to pay with a credit card on the PayPal checkout screen, and you’ve enabled PayPal Account Optional as we mention above, then it’s probably because PayPal has set a cookie on your computer that remembers you’ve used a PayPal account in the past. To see the option you can remove all cookies from PayPal.com.
