Tonight I’m happy to announce support for PayPal Website Payments Pro (WPP).

PayPal WPP is a payment processing solution for US, UK, and Canadian customers that allows you to process credit cards from your customers inside of Cashboard, and accept PayPal account balance transfers.

Customers paying you online with WPP will be presented with a slick payment form, as shown below.

For more information on integrating PayPal with Cashboard see this article.

Cashboard has supported online payments with PayPal since day one, but it took us a little while to get on the instant payment notification (IPN) bandwagon.

Tonight we launched full support for PayPal IPN, including single invoice payments and full balance payments. IPN allows PayPal to contact our servers after a successful payment has been made on their site by one of your clients.

This means that your customers can pay you online via PayPal, and payment records will automatically be entered into Cashboard. No more manual entry!

To enable PayPal IPN support, see the instructions here.

We’re now looking into broader integration with PayPal in the near future, including PayPal Website Payments Pro.

UPDATE These features were launched as of 1/9/2011

We’ll be launching some new features this weekend that you all should enjoy.

One is a highly requested change, and the other is a revision to an existing feature that makes it easier to use. Both of these features work together to give you more flexibility when creating invoices for your estimates.
