Overview
Sellers of digital products often want buyers to finish a purchase without being sent to another site. This plugin connects PayPal Website Payments Pro to Easy Digital Downloads so card payments are handled right at checkout. It also adds PayPal Express Checkout, which lets customers pay with their PayPal account in a few clicks. Both options work with orders, payments and customer data already managed in your store.
The plugin suits stores that sell eBooks, software, digital art or other downloadable content. Checkout options can be adjusted to match your brand, and the payment process is built to work on any device. Currency and localization support helps with international buyers. Transaction logs and payment reporting give you a record for tracking and reconciling money. Refunds for PayPal Pro and Express payments can be started from within your store.
Features
