Im trying to set up the success page up for my paypal account and was told for the effect i need should use asp but this is something im very weak in. Basicly what i want is the code to look up the items bought by the user and show them in an invoice form with a picture of each item purchased next to the corrosponding item, id imagine this would be done using some sort of loop in a table. Can anyone help me out please . Thanks for your time,
I'll assume you're not using website payments pro, but the regular paypal website payments standard. In this case you need to write up a script that'll temporarily store the details of each purchased item, from the time the user "checks out" to when they return to your site in a database (access(mdb) is fine), & render these details on the success page.
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.domain.com/successurl.asp?orderid=<%=orderid%>"> add this hidden text when payment made successfully then page run at that time you got order id and you can update order status as per you got order id
