[SOLVED] Paypal Module Question

[Exc.BluePhoenix]

Hello everyone,

 

Can anyone explain what a paypal module is or a module? The best dumb down definition I got for module was,

 

A plugin or add-on that increases functionality to your site.

 

Will this module let me redirect the users after they completed my form to pay at PayPal? Is that what it does? I looked but I cannot get around what EXACTLY does this module do or make it work, complicated as hell. Do I even need a module to do this? (let people pay using PayPal) Is there any tuts that show what I ask or similar or give any base on the subject?

 

If this is not a php question and the wrong place to post this please recommend the correct area, thank you. However, I have seen a PayPal module from what I can tell its written in php.

 

Its by Open Source E-Commerce Solutions

        http://www.oscommerce.com

 

But I don't required a whole E-commerce site, I just need it a form and be able to let people pay. (using PayPal)

 

Thank you and have a nice day.

There is no such thing as a module in php. maybe the module you speak of is a plug in for a cms or something?

[Exc.BluePhoenix]

Okay lets say it is, even though I dont know what cms is. Does that do what I asked before? Like let users pay at paypal?

 

If there is no PayPal module can you please tell me how can I redirected users to paypal to pay after completing my form, that is the piece of information that I am missing.

 

thank you, for the reply.

Paypal provides an API to do so. You'll need to look at the developers docs on there site.

Oh really, well thank you. I will do so.

 

Again thanks.
