Just to add to some of the comments about PayPal Pro....I just completed integrating it into CFWebstore for a customer and it is indeed a real pain to do...particularly the Express Checkout section. However, you don't really need to create any objects. The samples with DirectPay using Java objects...not really necessary. Their API just uses SOAP requests, so you can just use CFHTTP to send and parse the responses. It's basically just XML. They even have a site with sample PayPal SOAP requests to make this easier to build. I'll agree the documentation is not great, but this at least is very useful to have and made it far easier to do. If you have a decent handle on SOAP and XML that part at least was not too bad. It's just a pain because there are so many steps in the Express Checkout process, it really isn't a typical payment method at all and likely to confuse customers, IMO. There were other issues to work out...lack of billing information provided, dealing with IPN notifications of payment updates, etc. Not for the faint of heart.
