1) Are you selling tangibles or intangibles?

2) Do you need stock management / fulfilment against an RDBMS of some sort?

3) Do you need instant payment notification?

4) Do you have a PayPal merchant account set up?

 

[Samuel Shulman]

I want to write the code myself and send the user to the Paypal's website

It must be quite simple


Thanks,
Sam

1. Tangibles

2. I have all necessary code to run the website

3. That would be good (not absolutely necessary)

4. I have an account se up

Thank you,
Samuel

In that case, all you need to do is build a <form> object with a submit
button and a load of hidden fields.

Since you already have a merchant account, log into PayPal, go to the
Merchant section, and download the two PDFs which describe this in detail.

That's not what I meant - I meant do you want PayPal to send you a
notification of every purchase in a format which you can process and
integrate into your stock management system?

 

[Samuel Shulman]

Still not sure what you mean

All I want from paypal is the following info

Was the payment confirmed
How much was paid
Order ref. so I can relate it to the correct order (if the page that submits
the response waits until the payment is complete then it is not necessary)

Thank you,
Samuel

When somebody buys something from one of the sites that I maintain, the
following happens:

1) PayPal sends me an email with details of the purchase

2) PayPal sends the purchaser an email with details of the purchase

3) PayPal sends me an IPN and a PDT notification which I process to reduce
my stock by the number of item(s) purchased - all I have to do is dispatch
the goods...

About 10 posts before yours someone asked the exact same question.

I suggested taking a look at this...

Mark Rae made the following comments about it

But that goes only so far. Rick talks about IPN, but this can't be relied
upon solely - PDT is also required for any sort of robustness with PayPal
because it's so unbelievably flaky.

1) http://www.paypaldev.org/

2) Scroll down to the Instant Payment Notification (IPN) / PDT section

3) Have a look through the posts, especially the ASP / .NET section.

4) Cringe...

Cheers

This is interesting for me to learn from. My question is about that third
step...

What is the IPN and the PDT notification, can a proxy example of each be
shown?
And can you explain how you process them to reduce your stock by the number
of item(s) purchased.
