  1. Hello Bees, we start very nice discussion. I am happy about it. I have few question that we can share and provide my thoughts.

    1. What is the best exchange service? I have found worldfirst.com

    2. Do you have opened your bank accounts in different countries? in which? what are running monthly costs?

    3. Regards paypal I learn that you can open few paypal account and collect money in different currencies then you can transfer to one Paypala e.g. Paypal DE where you sent Euros then you can withdraw it and then exchange via online cantors. Have you try it? The problem is to open a bank account.

    I have find a trick, you can add international bank to Paypal via hidden link https://www.paypal.com/businessexp/money/add/bank I did not test it, it understand that it works with banks in Euro countries.

    1. What are other online markets than ebay and amazon to sell on it?

    2. What is a popular market in Japan to sell there goods?

    3. Have you tried this service? worldfirst.com/uk/online-sellers/ I know that you can collect only money from ebay and amazon. Not for other cust and to pay for something.

  2. @mdekker is Braintree is better then Stripe? it seems cost more

    1.4% + 20p for European cards. UK 2.9% + 20p for non-European cards.

    1.4% + €0.25 for European cards. DE 2.9% + €0.25 for non-European cards.

    2.9% + 30¢ per successful card charge USA

    I am thinking if it would be possible to get a better price for our community. If we would collect all members who use Stripe and contact them and ask if they can give us (Bees) better price.

    What do you think about this idea? I can contact with them if we will find a number of users.

  3. @ssimard said in What is going with the Paypal module? EU, USA modules?:

    Paypal became a big problem in Canada lately. I can share what I learned so far..

    1. The REST API is NOT supported in Canada for credit card validation.
    2. Paypal website payment Pro has been deprecated, meaning you can NO LONGER create API signatures for that in your Paypal account.
    3. The Paypal website payment Pro signatures that were already created and working can still be used (thankfully).
    4. I only found 1 TB's compatible Paypal module that work for on-site credit card validation in Canada at the moment and it is PayPal Pro v1.4.3 - by Presto-Changeo.
    5. I could configure and make it work properly using my old API signature that I am currently using on my old website. There is NO WAY to get them anymore in your Paypal account so if you did not save these infos somewhere, you are lost.

    Website payment Pro has been deprecated and replaced by Paypal payment Pro (I'm so lost with these different names they are using) and I don't even know if there are any Canada-compatible modules that supports that already.

    This is all I know for now, will stick with PayPal Pro v1.4.3 - by Presto-Changeo as long as possible until it fails... and by then I really hope there will be a usable solution for Canada.

    @ssimard You can get it from database too, it was in plain text if I remember.

  4. I have some improvements to paypal. Where I can put my experiences?

    I have noticed that very often Paypal block payments by card (debit, credit). It is not blocked by limits on customer side (eg. daily limits) but only by Paypal.

    I have got info from Paypal that they block a payment when customer is using multiple times payment by card and don't want to open a paypal account.

    I am talking about situation where cust have only card, not a Paypal account and connected a card there.

    I did not test Bees module but on Prestashop there was a poor error handling. No info to customer what he should do next, e.g try again or use other payment method.

    Sometimes on Paypal when customer have two cards 1 expired and 2nd new, Paypal use 1st card and there is an error, when customer use it 2nd time (second try to purchase) the payment will be OK.

    I have tested it many times.

    I can provide you more info error codes if you want to implement it.

  5. Website Payments Plus - what is that? I wanted to google it but there is no info.

    only info about Paypal Pro.

    "Legacy methods such as Hosted Payment Solutions, PayPal Payments Advanced and Payflow Link will not return. PayPal wants to discontinue these services and replace some of those with the other solutions they provide or with Braintree." Is there any link to read more about it?

  6. Oh ok :) I just though that there will be only countries with no access.

    The funny things was an error on Paypal where there was problem with address missing state, invalid address. I have switch off checking address on Paypal because it cause some loose.

  7. For offering bankwire and Lastschrift you need a bank account inside the European Union. A bank account inside Germany is no longer necessary. I think that countries with euro.

    In which country is the easiest way to open a bank account?

    @MockoB you can use your company. After about 100k € you need register a VAT in Germany. VAT not company. This is no necessary to register company there. German address would be helpful to increase a sales and trust.

    @wakabayashi What is TB? Which payment methods are popular in Switzerland?

  8. Thank you for answer.

    You are right. I don't know why countries ware disabled.

    I have noticed country Åland Islands

    A with accent it should be like that?

    I am wondering if Bees team correct missing states in some countries like it was in Prestashop. e.g Canada

  9. Feature request:

    I would be beneficial to add by default option that all steps are visible like a link. step1, step2, thank-you page/history etc.

    It would be much easier to create a funnel and see customer flow. Where customer exit in which step etc.

    Integrate it with google analitics, piwik, hotjar etc.
