Hi everyone,

 

im trying to think of the best solution to integrate paypal on my website to sell photos, without my customers hving to register their details with myself, I want them to be able to add to cart then pay.

 

The catch is i require their email address, I thought I could have a field where they input their email before adding to cart but it seems a bit amateur, Has anybody any different ideas?

I believe this is all possible with the API (I think that's what it's called) that PayPal has readily available.  It's under the development section on their website I believe.

 

When the payment is processed, data is sent to a listener on the web-server (most-likely a PHP file in this case) which then processes the data.  This data includes the payment information, and, I believe, could include the email address used in the donation form.

 

Add-on:  I believe they call it IPN...
