webbhelp Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hi! I have been on the paypal website a lot but I can't find what I am looking for. I trying to find some API so I can show Paypal links on every page I generate from mysql. When the user press Paypal button, he/or she will be redirected to paypal.com with a form where a field with the ID, already is filled in. So let's say I press Paypal button ,then a ID, to that page will be sent to paypal and when the user pay the money, a reply from paypal with the ID will come back and confirm the payment. How can I get this to work? I really hope you can help me with this! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupe-r Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hello, You can do a google search for Paypal IPN or you can even search this forum. This is a pretty popular topic. On your site, you will have a button with some hidden fields, one of those will be a "custom" id. When the button is pressed, that ID is sent to Paypal and waits for the user to submit a payment. Upon the user submitting, Paypal contacts your IPN.php page (or whatever you want to call it) and grabs the variables and updates your database.
