Virtual Terminal time out

[Jeepien]

Does anyone actually use Virtual Terminal?  It seems to be well hidden and hard to get to.  Also if left open it does a silent time out in two minutes and when you go to use it, you have to log in and do two-factor verification every time.  If nobody uses it, I can certainly see why.

I understand the frustration.  PayPal's site does timeout rather quickly, and yeah, if you've got 2FA enabled it can be a bit of a pain.

You may want to consider our PayPal Partner solution.  We built a VT/Invoicing system on the PayPal Commerce API that replicates the VT/Invoicing tools PayPal provides.  Our tool does have a timeout, but it's a lot longer so you don't have to mess with this nearly as much.

As a side bonus, PayPal's fees are cheaper with their API than when using the VT/Invoicing system directly, so not only will you have a better time using it, but you'll also save some money on fees.  

Let me know if you have any questions or concerns about that.
