Title: PayPal Credit
Post by: Brody on October 11, 2014, 19:44:07 PM
Hey Guys,

PayPal told me about their new product, "PayPal Credit" which used to be called bill me later. Anyway, no harm in putting it up on my site so I will. However, it says that it is only available for US customers and all you have to do is check out with paypal. What do I need to do on VM to implement that? I exclusively use paypal right now, but am unsure of setting the Credit option. If it is automatic to US customers when they click through to paypal, I can't see it because I am in Canada and they are probably looking at my IP address to determine what to display.

Any insight would be appreciated.

As far as I know this is available only along with special templates hosted by PayPal. Probably available along with PayPal Payments Pro. You might find more information if you change the country on a PayPal website. From my place in Germany I always see a country flag in the lower right footer of PayPal web pages.

If I remember correctly 'bill me later' had some extra fees. I would be surprised if that has changed, especially since the new driving force behind PayPal is activist investor Carl Ican, whose only interest is to increase (his) shareholder value.
