How to integrate PayPal to create customer accounts automatically

Wishloop Whitelabel supports linking your PayPal account in order to automate the customer account creation.

In order to achieve this functionality, please apply the following steps :

1. From your PayPal dashboard, go to "Profile" > "Profile and Settings" > "My Selling Tools" > "Instant Payment Notifications" and click on "Update" then click on "Choose IPN Settings" on the next page.
2. Copy "PayPal IPN URL" from your whitelabel settings page and paste it in the "Notification URL" field, then choose "Receive IPN messages" and click "Save".

Then, when you want to install the PayPal Buy Now button on your website, add the following code to it inside the <form> tag :

<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="CHANGE_THIS_WITH_THE_DESIRED_PLAN">

Replace CHANGE_THIS_WITH_THE_DESIRED_PLAN with the desired plan_id from the following table :

plan_id	Plan Description
trial	The trial plan.  Full functionality but this expires after 14 days
a-mo-std-iqueue	Our Standard plan which includes iQueue only
a-std-act-mo	Our Standard plan which includes Actions only
a-pro-mo	Our Pro plan which includes Actions and iQueue
a-growth1-mo	Our Growth plan with Actions, iQueue and 5 Workspaces
a-growth2-mo	Our Growth plan with Actions, iQueue and 10 Workspaces
a-growth3-mo	Our Growth plan with Actions, iQueue and 25 Workspaces
a-growth4-mo	Our Growth plan with Actions, iQueue and 50 Workspaces

For example, if i want the purchase to result in creating an account with the "Actions only" plan, here is the code to use : 

<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="a-std-act-mo">

So if my PayPal Buy Now button code is like this :

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="XXXXXXXXX">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

After adding updating it, it would look like this : 

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="a-std-act-mo">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="XXXXXXXXX">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
