visualazza Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 For the past few days i have been trying to figure out a way to do the following. User views an item from the page User clicks the buy button Pays with paypal The buyer needs to download the file but we do not want them to be able to download other files The seller of the item needs to be payed so there needs to be some info about which item it is and who is selling it so we can pay them. any ideas on how all this can be achieved with php. I have tried many many google searches and have found nothing Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/193367-paypal-shopping-system-with-secure-download/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnoTheDev Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 This is a simple project that could become complex, however it cannot be put down on a forum post as ther are too many components. Are you a developer? If so break down the application requirements into parts i.e. Registration: Buyer, Seller Login: Buyer, Seller Shopping cart, Session management, Seller admin interface, Seller upload files, User account area, Payments system: Paypal website payments pro, express checkout, direct payments etc Also think about the database structure. If you are not a developer I suggest you employ one for this project. Otherwise check out hostcripts.com and see if you can find something similar that may work for you.

Ah OK, you didn't say that. There are several types of paypal implementations, however it depends on your business model on the one you choose. The simplest for a dynamic website to take payments is using paypal IPN. Checkout the info on your paypal account. If you want users to enter credit card details on your site then you require a business account and paypal website payments pro. Again the documentation is on the paypal website along with software development kits. If your business model requires you to make payments to sellers paypal accounts then this is more complex. You will have to look at the adaptive payments API. All of the APIS are documented on paypals developer network https://www.x.com/index.jspa Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/193367-paypal-shopping-system-with-secure-download/#findComment-1018095 Share on other sites More sharing options...
