This is not something Casper can work around - LL has banned people in the past for attempting outside payments after that date.

# They are presented with payment choices - PayPal, Credit Card or L$. They choose one.
# They are sent to a website, operated by VirWox, where they complete their payment.

===Do I need a PayPal account? or a merchant bank account?===
 
No. The money will arrive as Linden Dollars to your second life avatar, as normal.
 
===Is there any fee or charge?===
 
You pay nothing.  The customer will pay a small surcharge depending on what payment method they use.
 
===What is the exchange rate?===
 
It varies. We use VirWox to perform the currency exchange, so the exchange rate will depend on the current selling price of L$.
 
===Can I disable this?===
 
Yes.
On CasperVend, you can disable the option under the Overview section.
On CasperLet, you can disable the option under unit configuration.

PayPal, Credit Cards, Etc.

Linden Lab has killed the Linden Dollar Reseller program. "As of August 1, 2015, the Authorized L$ Reseller pilot program will be closed, and the LindeX will be the only authorized place to purchase L$."

Unfortunately, this also included the loss of the VirWox service that was used to provide this capability.

This is not something Casper can work around - LL has banned people in the past for attempting outside payments after that date.
