Has anyone used the paypal shopping cart code before as I am thinking of using it in one of my websites as it is an ecommerce website. Is there any coding that needs to be changed on it. If this is not the best solution with using ecommerce websites please can you tell me which would be the best to use for this particular site.
Ive used the 'Buy it Now' buttons, and have had no issues with them in the past, what are you looking to integrate exactly?
Well basically I have a friend who has asked me if I wanted to create an ecommerce site for him, I said that was no problem. However the thing is I want to make sure that when the customers come to purchase the product that it goes directly to his paypal account so that they will able to send out the product straight away, so that they both can have a nice easy process. The thing that I need to know is can this happen with the paypal buttons? How do I get the money straight to his account?
Don't take this the wrong way, but have you actually gone over to PayPal to see how to set this up? They have all that information there, PayPal button coding and more elaborate schemes with Express Checkout. Lots of referrals to shopping carts that have PayPal integration, etc. And yes, your friends account information is embedded in hidden form elements for the buttons. It will go directly to his/her account. You can also stipulate the return page after the payment process is concluded so the user is bounced right back to the page they left from.
