Can I use the paypal payment pro API on the coldfusion shared host?

No reason why you shouldn't be able to as long as it's a standard ColdFusion file such as a CustomTag or a CFC. I use a PayPal CFC and an Authorize.net CFC without any issues on the shared servers

When I use the coldfusion sample on my local server I got it to work, but when I upload on the host I got this error msg.

15 :
16 : // Create CF caller object
17 : pp_caller = CreateObject("java", "com.paypal.sdk.services.CallerServices");
18 :
19 : // Set API profile

I have seen this error before. I believe that after installing PayPal, need to restart CF service. Email to support dept. I will take a look at it tomorrow.
