PayPal Payments Standard
This gateway lets your users pay for points using credit cards or their PayPal account. This gateway only supports the PayPal Payments Standard API. All other PayPal payment options are not supported by this gateway.
This gateway uses cURL to verify incoming IPN calls from PayPal. If cURL is disabled on your server, IPN calls will cause a fatal error that will prevent points from being paid out! If you are receiving emails from PayPal informing you that IPN calls are not working on your server, this could be the cause!
