[SOLVED] Paypal in a community driven marketplace


FarhanKhalaf

Recommended Posts

I am creating a pretty simple community marketplace & am now at the payment stage - and am a little stumped. I'm pretty new to PHP/MySQL, but I've managed to do everything else up to this point.

 

As far as functionality of the marketplace : Shopper posts listing of product wanted -> Seller accepts request -> Shopper pays Seller -> Seller delivers.

 

I was thinking of using paypal to do this, although I looked all over google and could not find any kind of tutorial to explain how to do it. Everything is revolved around static carts, etc.

 

I did read the sticky at the top, and if this was the wrong place to post -- I apologize.

 

If anybody can point me in the right direction or recommend me a tutorial / other application / sample code that can accomplish the above functionality, I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thank you.

Paypal themselves have a tutorial on their website; hard to understand but I did get it set up eventually.

 

Please don't ask me any questions on how to do it as I did it about two years ago and I cannot remember anything about it - except that I read the guide on paypal.

It is still up and running to this day.

I took a look around, and could only find some vague topics in the forum regarding p2p transactions. If you have the link handy, mind sending it my way?

 

Thanks.
