I need help to only send form info to my email after customer has paid via paypal

[Aidan1569]

I have a contact form with a file upload button, when you click on “submit” you are redirected on Paypal everything works fine but, I would like to send the contact form only when visitors have paid on Paypal. I’ve searched on google but I have not found a way to do this.

Can anyone help?

Cheers,

Aidan.

Do you not know how to send and email or do you not know how to tell when the paypal API returns successful payment?

I only want the email to be sent after they have paid.

Since you're not showing us any code, let's play a guessing game.  How do you know when they have paid on Paypal?  Are you waiting for a message from PP telling you such?  Or is there some connection you are making with code you have written that will give you back a response?

This is fun!

You will need to store the details of the order in an order table, perhaps with status.

When an order is completed at paypal it will callback to one or more "webhook" url's you've onfigured, which are script(s) you would right to do processing on your server.

Read through this section at Paypal:  https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api-basics/

The script would need to parse the data the webhook script gets from paypal (ideally you should choose to use json format)  and send the email you require, looking up the order in your order table.
