PayPal Integration

[Rory M]

Hi Everyone,

How easy is it to integrate a script with PayPal? I know they have an API of some sorts but is it relatively hassle free? And while I'm on the matter (all you clever peeps out there) which other gateways are worth integrating (and easy to do)?

Thanks

paypal integration is very easy. It really only involves submitting the proper data to them.

I just wrote a Paypal class for a membership script I am working on (the class will process any type of transaction, shopping cart, buy now, subscription, donation, paypal shopping cart and gift certificates)

I'll release the class today hopefully.

Peace,
