Suma interfaces with Payment Processors (such as PayPal) through its Payment Gateways. Several Payment Gateways are under development, and the PayPal Gateway is currently available and included in Suma 3.0.
The Suma-PayPal Gateway is enabled from the Settings area of Suma.
The PayPal Gateway allows the following Payment Modules to be used:
- Onsite Payment Module allows users to pay with their Credit/Debt card on your site when subscribing to your Paid Subscription Plans or use their PayPal account (if any). To use the functionality of this module requires you have a merchant account with PayPal (specifically, a Website Payments Pro (US) account).
- Hosted Payment Module allows users to pay with their PayPal account when subscribing to your Paid Subscription Plans. An advantage of this module is that you only need a Premiere or Business class account with PayPal.
- Donations Module allows users to leave a donation for you during the registration process. This module only requires that you have a Premiere or Business class account with PayPal. It can be used by itself or in combination with the Onsite or Hosted Payment Modules.
