Automatic processing after customer payment

    I have a directory and I want it to automatically add the bought link after a customer pays for it.

    Now how should I integrate paypal to my site? There's so many different solutions on the official site and I just don't get it. Do I have to resort to the API or just some basic HTML would do?



    Thanks!

    Integration with paypal is easy - you set the ipn up to ping your site after a payment, you can even include additional info. The real question is do you have the programming to do what's needed ON your site after that?

    Yes, the whole directory is conceptually new and I have coded it from scratch in PHP all by myself.

    Testing the sandbox now, but still my first time, should at least stumble upon 1 or 2 mistakes before smooth driving. =(

    Thanks for the message, though.

    I've got a question.

    The best I can find to do this, is a paypal.class.php from http://www.micahcarrick.com, which dates back to the year of 2005. I don't know if it's safe or still correctly written up until now, it's been so many years.

    Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
