PayPal Verified

Post by fcollingwood »

There used to be a setting ages back in the OSc IPN integration where users could restrict PayPal payments to only be from verified accounts. I don't want to accept CC processing from PayPal, only payments from verified accounts, as one of the destination countries I regularly send to is full of fraudsters.

Anyone know how to restrict it to just verified accounts?

Isn't this what the "PayPal Account Optional" configuration is for?

After running live for a while, I have found that this is unfortunately not the case. This setting just allows users to purchase without having a PayPal account.

I want to restrict usage to users having a verified PayPal account only. There is a massive difference between a verified and an unverified account.

In PayPal IPN this is in
payer_status
Whether the customer has a verified PayPal account.
verified — Customer has a verified PayPal account.
unverified — Customer has an unverified PayPal account.

A great pity. It was in the original OSCommerce integration. Saved me from many dodgy transactions

i know, Phoenix has not much fraud prevention features yet. Currently you can somehow try to code a missing feature yourself or hire a developer to do so. i also had to add alot of fraud prevention into an older osc version and have to do that again now. recognizing unverified paypal accounts will be one of the features i will need also.
if using paypal express you should be able to get a response from paypal during checkout_process and can allow or disallow to finally send the order in checkout_confirmation depending on several paypal and order parameters.

If you were using an older version of the PayPal app from an older version of osc, could you not figure out where the code was and try to add it back in to a newer version. If you cant do it maybe a developer could.
