Here is what I need but do not know the proper terminology or I could have probably found it in the search engines. I am looking for a Paypal script that is capable of collecting information such as form information that will change the price of the end result. For example: If I am selling a product that the price increases on as you add features I would like the script to tally the total price to send to paypal at the end of the process. I can always redirect to a success page form to acquire more information if needed but it would be nice if the script emailed me a copy of the information though not needed. So that is my payment processing dilemma.. Anybody know of anything that might be what I am looking for?
I dont think its possible. besides, no financial information like credit cards etc will be exposed to you. Thats one of the main features of PayPal! LaZYBuMâ„¢
My mistake I have mislead my intentions.. I am not after credit card info or anything personal in nature.. I was speaking of people answer custom questions about specific needs for the products they are purchasing. That information be emailed to me and then the paypal part of it would just calculate what the price should be based off of the users choices when checking out..
Well, i think you should make a form prior to the paypal payment change to collect the info you need!
Thanks Lazy I had thought about that but I thought what I would run into is people who would fill out the form so I would receive a job request but they choose to skip out on payment.. Then I would have to jump back and forth to verify who has paid vs. who submitted the form.. No big deal though I could filter through that.. I would still need a script that would calculate a custom price based on customer selection.
Here is an example of what I need but this is a service, not a script. Fill the fields with "test entries" and notice how the total price changes based off of number of services selected and how many hours you need the DJ for.. The DJ thing is just what this website uses as an example.. http://www.formsite.com/newtmp/partydjrequestpaypal/

Yeah I know about A+ Download.. I believe its a pearl based script.. I am a bigger fan of php and A+ Download does not calculate the price based off of user selection the last I knew.
so what's the problem? do the calculations on the scripting side, generate the button, redirect to paypal, then use PDT or even better, IPN, to finish off the transaction.
