    Hi, I am interested in creating an online business which uses the payment gateway called 'ImpulsePay', but I just don't understand how I can integrate it onto my website. After a bit of research on google I've found that I need assign a session ID to each user and a database to store order information like emails and contact numbers. I think I also need to generate a random order number which is automatically inserted to the database. The problem is I have no idea how I can do these, and what my options are. Can anybody offer me some direction on how I can achieve it, or just any kind of advice (I can really use some right now! ). The website only needs to be very simple with about 8 different items (selected from a drop down list), I don't even need a shopping trolley. Thanks in advance!

    If you're looking to do this yourself, you need to be more specific with the problem you are having. Are you pasting the code and it's not working? Tell us the steps you have taken so far, and where you are getting stuck. You need to give us more information so we can help you.

    If you're not a coder, it might be easier to hire a web developer to do this. If you're looking for suggestions, PM me as I know a few that might be interested.
