PayFlow Pro Certs Path

[#1]

I am having difficulties configuring my credit card gateway. I have downloaded the SDK for PayFlow Pro (PayFlow Pro .NET v4.3.1), but the SDK provides no certificate. According to PayPal, as of version 4.3, PayFlow Pro no longer uses a certificate.

If I try leaving the "Certs Path" entry blank, I receive the following error on checkout:

Version 2007.0.631.12

Message Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Source NetPoint.CreditCards

Stack at NetPoint.CreditCards.Functions.AuthorizeIBiz(Payment payment)

at NetPoint.CreditCards.Functions.Authorize(Payment payment)

at netpoint.classes.NPCCAuth.Authorize(NPOrder order)

at netpoint.commerce.verify.btnOrder_Click(Object sender, ImageClickEventArgs e)

If I give "Certs Path" an arbitrary folder such as "C:\Windows\Certs" that exists, but does not contain a certificate, I get the following error:

Credit card not authorized (The server certificate chain did not validate: The server certificate chain did not validate)

I saw this issue addressed in the forums a while back in February of 2008, but I did not see an answer or resolution. Is there an update for the software that I don't have? Is there any workaround to this?

Just as the previous poster in February of 2008 did, I called PayPal and had them send me a legacy SDK with a certificate, but according to him this will stop working as of September of this year.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you checked this thread already? It might be some helps to you:

I've been looking at that, but I don't find it particularly helpful because he doesn't appear to even have a "Certs Path" entry. Does he possibly have a different version of Web Tools installed?

Is there a possibility that I have the wrong version installed? This was installed by a third party about two months ago.

Here's what I see under Admin->Setup->Credit Card Gateway:

Method... Authorize

User... my company code

Password... my password

Vendor Code... my company code

URL... payflowpro.paypal.com

Test Mode... not checked

Partner Code... PayPal

Certs Path... c:\Windows\Certs

FirewallType... None

Firewall Host

Firewall Port... 80

Firewall User

Firewall Password

I have tried many different URLs in the URL edit box, and I don't think that's the problem. The problem appears to be that Web Tools is requiring a PayFlow Pro certificate, which the company no longer provides.

In this case, you have to get valid certificate. I am afraid you have to contact with the vendor - PayPal to get the problem solved.
