Transmission94 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Hi there! I am new to all of this, but I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it in this case, haha. Basically, I am using PayPal for the shopping cart and payment functionality on a website I am making to sell goods. The products I am selling only come in very limited quantities, so I need to have products that have been payed for immediately removed from the database (mySQL). However, as far as I can tell there is no way to get confirmation back from the PayPal website when an item has indeed been paid for. Thus, I have no way to know whether items should yet be removed from the database (I can't just set a product to be deleted when someone simply adds it to their cart, as it is not guaranteed that they will buy it.) Does anyone know of any way round this? I do need the payments to all be made through paypal. Any help would be very much appreciated. I know I have asked questions before and people have been more than happy to throw their 2c in, and that is fantastic! Thanks in advance, Transmission94 [attachment deleted by admin] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
