What are the steps to Enable Reference Transactions for PayPal?

You will find the steps to request enabling reference transactions with PayPal and help with answering their questions.

When Using the WSM 5.0 Payment Gateways for PayPal Express you need to ensure that reference transaction is enabled on your PayPal account. This is needed when the customer clicks PayPal Express from the cart screen. When this occurs WSM sends PayPal the cart value. When your customer finalizes the order on the checkout WSM sends PayPal an updated value which may include shipping, sales tax, or other fees. This requires Reference Transaction with PayPal for the order to be completed.
