So I am trying to process a credit card transaction with the PayPal Payflow API using a transparent redirect. I am getting an error that it cannot process the credit card. When I look at the transaction history in the PayPal account manager the response message is Invalid tender. The manager also only shows the card EXP date. It looks like the credit card number is not making it to PayPal.
Here is the post string that is being sent in the header :
PARMLIST:INVNUM=794487634&AMT=78.04&CURRENCY=USD&ACCT=4111111111111111&EXPDATE=0920&csc=123

Invalid tender type. Your merchant bank account does not support the following credit card type that was submitted.
Payflow Link is a secure, PayPal-hosted, HTTP-based Internet payment solution. It allows you (a merchant with an internet merchant account) to securely connect your customers to PayPal's secure server and use it to automate order acceptance, authorization, processing, and transaction management.
Payflow Gateway is PayPal's secure and open payment gateway. Using the Payflow Gateway APIs, merchants can process debit and credit card payments, PayPal, PayPal Credit®, authorizations, captures, and credit voids. PayPal Payments Pro internally utilizes Payflow Gateway and its API, providing the same features.
The paypal documentation for transparent redirect mentions only 3 parameters(Acct, expdate and csc) but another required parameter "TENDER" is missing in that, for credit card transaction your PARMLIST parameter should look like:
PARMLIST:INVNUM=794487634&AMT=78.04&CURRENCY=USD&ACCT=4111111111111111&EXPDATE=0920&csc=123&TENDER=C
//C is for credit card
