I am looking into using the paypal NVP API to allow users to pay on my website for a recurring subscription.

I have a few questions about the requirements. Will my site have to meet the "PCI Compliance" stuff. I guess I will have to get an SSL certificate and is there anything else that is required or that I need to know about?

  • I think I've read somewhere, someone implemented a reusable app for the paypal API. You'll probably find it if you google around. – Vasil Apr 04 '09 at 23:10
  • yeah, I think django-paypal is set up for it. – Joe Apr 05 '09 at 15:18

I know this question is a bit out of date, but I wanted to add a note that I've recently released an open source Python API to the PayPal NVP interface.

There is nothing forcing you to meet PCI Compliance and use SSL, but you should anyway to limit your liability and inspire a little customer trust.

I thought I read something on the Satchmo Developer's Google group about a person implementing PayPal NVP and having a patch.

  • Nice, that website was down yest. but seems to be fine today! What do you mean by having a patch? – Joe Apr 05 '09 at 15:17
  • Sorry, I think I confused the PayPal acronyms NVP is already implemented its WPS (Websites Payment Standard?) that is not and there is a patch to enable WPS. – Jason Christa Apr 05 '09 at 18:05
