Getting Started with Website Payments Pro Hosted Solution
Value-Added Services
1. Generate a button in your website checkout flow using HTML or API solution. The button
could be labeled Pay or Buy or similar. When the buyer clicks this button, they are
redirected to the payment page hosted by PayPal.
2. On the payment page, the buyer enters their debit or credit card information and clicks the
Pay Now button.They do not have to have a PayPal account, although they have the option
to use it if they have one.
3. If the transaction is successful, the buyer either sees PayPal’s confirmation page or is
redirected to a URL you specify. If the transaction is unsuccessful, an error message is
displayed, and the buyer can rectify the error and retry the transaction.
You can specify the content of the payment page and configure its appearance to reflect the
look and feel of your website (including your logo).

Fraud Management Filters
PayPal provides many Fraud Management Filters (FMF), which make it easier for you to
detect and respond to fraudulent transactions. FMF provides you with tools, called filters, that
can identify potentially fraudulent transactions. The kinds of filters can be divided into the
following categories:
 Free filters include basic filters that screen against the country of origin, the value of
transactions, and such. PayPal provides basic filters for business accounts and Website
Payments Pro accounts.
 Advanced filters include filters that screen credit card and addresses information, filters
that screen against lists of high-risk indicators, and filters that screen additional transaction
characteristics. Website Payments Pro merchants can upgrade to use advanced filters.
FMF checks for payment characteristics that may indicate fraudulent activity. You set up FMF
to provide the tightest control possible over payments so that you can deny payments that are
likely to result in fraudulent transactions and accept payments that are not typically a problem.
Payments that may require further investigation or intervention, such as comparing prior
orders or contacting the customer for more information, can be flagged or put on hold or
pended for review. For more information, refer to
Fraud Management Filters Guide.
