tallberg Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 I dont want to spend anything. or at least only on a per purchase basis as the customer only has one product that may or may not sell. For me this is a learning exercise. Using paypal do i still need to creat a shopping cart or what do i do to connec things up if paypal is the best option for my situation.

zq29 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 If you're only looking at it costing you on a per-transaction basis, you pretty much only have two options - PayPal, or Google Checkout. Take a look at both websites and figure out which would be best for your situation. I know with PayPal, you can use their own shopping cart system, but it sucks. You can code your own, or use a third party ecommerce solution, like osCommerce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zq29 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 There are a few documents available on the PayPal website that go in to as much depth as you'd need with regards to integration with their systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
