I would like to know the difference between :

- PayPal Listener
- PayPal Pro
- PayPal Redirect

1) Is there a user guide?

2) By ChronoForms I saw the three components PayPal are "trial"; what is their cost?

Thanks.

Hello giuxmian,
I'm not a Chrono professional, but after checking your new post, I think that the following links may help:
How to use the PayPal Redirect Action
P.S: I'm just an automated service😉

Hi giuxmian,

The PayPal ReDirect action is used with a basic PayPal account to redirect the user to PayPal to make a payment. It has some built in settings that you can link to form data. You can do the same with a little more work using the cURL action.

The PayPal Pro action is a much more advanced action used when you have more than a basic PayPal account and need to get Instant Payment Notification 'IPN' - for example if you are selling e-goods and need to be sure that payment has been received.

The PayPal Listener is used in combination with the PayPal Pro (and possibly the PayPal Redirect action). When you want IPN PayPal requires some behind the scenes transactions to (a) confirm that the payment request is legitimate and (b) to confirm the success or failure of the transaction. The PayPal Listener action helps you to handle these transactions.

There isn't much documentation - in part because you need to be familiar with the PayPal options you want to use and then the settings are fairly straightforward.

Pricing is on the Subscriptions page here - the Trial versions work OK expect that they randomise the amount so they are OK for development.
