We would like to use Paypal for credit card authorization exactly as we do for Paypal transactions, only skip right to approval for users who do not want paypal.
The REST API for paypal has the setPaymentMethod always set to "paypal" in every example I can find, and I don't find a list of possible values. May this constant be set to something like "payflow"?
The hope is that the REST API would work to allow a credit card customer get payflow dialogs rather than paypal login/guest login. The idea is to try and use our existing REST code to process credit card payflow transactions and retain the "create order" then "capture" processes we have for paypal transactions. I can't tell if the REST API is capable of this.
