Support recurring
If you are using credit card reference transactions, you may select this option so that Zuora marks transactions submitted to PayPal as recurring. For recurring transactions, additional security checks (for previously authorized transactions) may be disabled in PayPal, allowing for reduced fees and greater acceptance with your merchant bank. For example, recurring transactions are not screened through fraud filters. Please check with your merchant account provider to verify that this is available and appropriate for your account.
Credentials
In addition to the common fields, every gateway has unique requirements and information (such as credentials) that you must provide to configure the gateway in Zuora.
If you are using the PayPal Payflow Pro product, the credentials to configure the gateway in Zuora will be the same as your login credentials for PayPal Manager . If you are using the PayPal Website Payments Pro product, you should request Payflow Pro API credentials and configure those credentials in Zuora.
Paypal's terminology is slightly different from Zuora's terminology for the components of your login. The following table shows how a term is displayed in the Zuora Payments Settings and what it corresponds to in Paypal.
