jdock1 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I know paypal has some sort of php api, but I know nothing about it and where to find it. I want to create an app that will instantly pay users from my account after a certain action is deployed on my site. I know this is possible, a few years ago I was going to hire a programmer to do it, but he wanted to much... But how would I go about doing this? Idk where to begin. It seems like it would be pretty simple, but since Id be wokring with third party code, or even paypal in general I can see it being a little more difficult. Im sure itd be working with cURL?

Skewled Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Paypal has a IPN system that you can implement. It took me a day to get everything together but it was not that difficult once I understood it. https://www.paypal.com/ipn You can also create testing accounts that use the testing environment so you can make sure your code is working as intended. They even have some PHP code examples on the site. https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/howto_testing_sandbox -- Testing environment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
