This is my first time on a forum so please be gentle with me.

This is my problem.

I have a client who runs courses. The courses can be booked online. As its a test at the moment i recommended using pay-pal until the website really takes of and then i would opt for a shopping cart or other type of software.

The client owns a shop and has a credit card swipe machine for accepting payments form customers.

Can pay-pal be linked to this card swipe machine which resides in her shop?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated, as all i get when i type this into google is the pay pal virtual terminal stuff which (i think) is not what im asking.

Regards and thanks in advance,

Hi,

Welcome to the community. .

I would imagine it all depends on who provides his merchant account but as PayPal provide merchant services also, I very much doubt you'll be able to integrate PayPal to be able to use the credit card machine.

What type of integration are you talking about exactly?

I think Paypal offer this service free with Website Payments Pro - iirc its called Paypal Terminal Services - although I've never used it myself.

EDIT: looks like they do: https://www.paypal.c..._vt_hub-outside
