PayPal Vs Payflow

[Folakeade]

I have recently used PayPal in the past for mitigating my payments from eBay, but as of recently forwhaterver reason they have chosen to split ways. I am wondering since I am now in need of a 3rd party money transfer account, is it possible for me to use Payflow as an alternative even although my PayPal account is limited and they are a subsidiary of PayPal??

Payflow is available only in US, AU, CA, and NZ and is PayPal's secure and open payment gateway.  The Payflow Gateway works with PayPal Payments Pro (which you need a PayPal account to use) or instead, process your online store payments with some other supported major payment processor, bank, or card association that you will have to hook the Payflow gateway to.  You will also need to host your own checkout pages.  It seems to allow you to sign up for a Payflow account, not a PayPal account. You'll need advanced e-commerce web development knowledge to get it set up.
