New Integration: PayPal Pro and Other Payment Integration Upgrades
This week we will be introducing many new features and upgrades made to most of our integrations that will allow for new options and easier set-up on the customer side of the integration.
PayPal Pro Integration
First, we would like to introduce to you our new integration with PayPal Pro. PayPal Pro is just a step up from the regular PayPal integration. Much like the FirstData and Authorize.Net integration we already have in place, this integration allows PayPal to process credit cards directly on the form with no redirects after the form has been submitted. The PayPal Pro integration also has the ability to handle single and multiple item payments and recurring billing/payments. To get started with the PayPal Pro integration you must first sign up for an account with PayPal Pro. You can visit our support site or watch a brief introduction video below to view the steps in setting up your integration.
Authorize.Net Upgrade
Authorize.Net is one of our most popular online payment integrations and we have upgraded the integration to include one big feature that is often requested. With our latest upgrade, if you have the Automated Recurring Billing service from Authorize.Net you can now include recurring/subscription billing to your online form.
Additional Payment Integration Upgrades
There are several upgrades that were made within all of our payment integrations which include having the option to edit any payment status that is saved in the database and filtering and searching data based on the payment status field.
For our current PayPal and Google Checkout integrations the confirmation and notification emails can now be delayed until the payment has been received.
While we think all of the new integrations and upgraded features mentioned today are great new additions, we still have much more in store for you during the rest of the week. Check back tomorrow for the next edition of our new features!

This is such an exciting upgrade!
I have a couple of questions about how it works. Specifically, how does Formstack handle SSL certificate issues on the form? Whenever you’re collecting credit card information, SSL is a must. However, this is problematic when you’re embedding forms because the certificate will not authenticate in the end-users’ browser, and appear broken if the SSL certificate is being served up from Formstack (and the SSL cert. is for formstack.com), but the page is embedded on mydomain.com.
How will Formstack address this issue? Ideally, you’d be to serve up their *.mydomain.com SSL certificate from Formstack.

Hi Dave,
There’s not much we can do about that issue. The form is still secure when embedded on your site (since it doesn’t really exist on your site, it’s loaded in a frame).
The secure padlock will not show on your site, however, unless your page is also secured with SSL. Most web hosts will allow you to secure a page with SSL so you might check with your host about that.
