rideon88 Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 I took on the task of creating a website for the company that I work for. We're selling insurance on devices and I made a basic user and product management system using PHP and MySQL that fits our needs perfectly. No cart out there would have been able to modify the pricing and options that we needed. But now I'm having a hard time finding a way to actually handle the payment aspect of this automatically. I don't have experience using API's although if no one can point me in the right direction I may end up having to learn them. I just want to be able to send the total as either a $_POST or $_GET variable to a site like Paypal and have the customer check out through someone else's secure site. I don't have the security background to write anything that would store credit cards on our systems. Just looking for insight.

Orio Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 You are looking for IPN (Instant Payment Notification). You can try PayPal's: https://www.paypal.com/ipn Orio.

rideon88 Posted May 17, 2007 Author Share Posted May 17, 2007 Not exactly, yes it would be nice for paypal to post to my website after payment goes through to indicate the status of the payment, but I'm actually looking for something that my final order page can post to, after the user reviews their selection, sending the user to an off site payment gateway with the customized price sent in from my page to the payment gateway as a POST or GET variable.

cmgmyr Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Check this out: http://www.belahost.com/pp/ With IPN you can post data to paypal and get it back, then you can alter the script at the link above to do whatever you want.
