i have a joomla site and in one article page, i want to sell a book of myne.
My users will be visiting this page, and when they click on "Buy" link, they will be shown a form, where they can fill details like name, email, phone and address.
Upon submitting the form, i want the user details to be inserted into the database, and then redirect the users to paypal site, for making a small payment towards the purchase.
How can i accomplish this?
I have heard about Chrono forms in joomla, but cant seem to figure out how to do 2 things simultaneoudly (inserting user details in db, and redirecting to paypal site).
Finally, got the Simple Caddy component from joomla extensions, and it is working well.
It perfectly suits my needs. However i could not use the paypal sandbox with this...

My question may seem to be very basic and view dependent but i wish to know every aspect of it.
I have created a mobile app where the users need to register themselves in order to use the app, but my client wishes to have the admin panel in the form of a website, where the user can register themselves by paying a specific amount through paypal and then they can use the mobile app version.
I have completed the main page and have created the paypal button on the user page, but for the admin page i wish to show a list of all users who have successfully paid for the product.
Is it possible to do so, can i keep a track of user details and their payments on the website??? if yes then can anyone guide me with it, would appreciate some help
use Paypal IPN to save the paypal transaction information to your database.
Use a database. Save each payment record after payment maybe.
I have spent all day on something that should only take a couple of minutes.
I need to add a subscription service onto a website, the user needs to enter their full name and email address as part of the subscription, paypal should then take the payment and redirect back to the site while passing the full name and email so accounts can be created.
I am at a loss here as their documentation is all over the place and conflicts with itself. How do I create a subscription button with the additional fields and get it all working.
And how the hell do I test it? I have attempted creating one with the subscription button on the paypal site but when the checkout is completed it doesn't go back to the site to create the fields unless you press the button and when you do there is nothing no post data no get data nothing!
You could try using PHP-Payment it allows you to redirect to a page upon success. https://github.com/phpfour/php-payment/tree/master/src/php/Rbs
I'm creating a really small website where I'll sell some products.
I need this website to show the available products, the users can add to the cart, and pay at the end, then I'll send the product for them by my self. It's a really small business.
I was taking a look at the paypal options and I didn't understand very well how it works.
For what I understand, with a free account I can only use their buttons, but I can't have a dynamic solution where I can manage my products on my website (look's like I need to add the products information like name and price on their website ).
What I wanted to do was just use my own website to handle this very simple store/products, and at the end, the user click on a CheckOut button, and Then I redirect the user to a paypal page where they can pay for the total value and then paypal redirect them back to me ( as a free account or at least with the 5$ account ).
Is that possible?
By the way I'm using CakePHP to build that, and I already have the website built with this framework, and to build what I need it's more than enough, I don't really need any solution like magento or others eCommerce platform.
Thank you.
If you use Paypal's free account then your visitor will leave your website, go to Paypal's website to make the payment, and then return to your website. Paypals paid version allows you to keep your visitor on your page, but you have to program you site to work with their API. Plus the cost can add up. Paypal also has other service other than just buttons. For instance they have a shopping cart too, but here again your vistor will leave your website to go to Paypals site to add the items to the shopping cart.
Another company that you might want to look at is https://stripe.com/ here you keep the vistor on your site as well as only paying per transaction rather than a monthly fee like at Paypal.
If you want to manage your items and inventory from your website and not enter everything into buttons at PayPal.com, I would suggest that you use Express Checkout. Express Checkout is also a free service and allows you to send all of the payments details to PayPal via API and PayPal will authenticate and allow your buyers to select shipping details. The user can then be redirected back to your website to complete their order.

Thanks,
I have a joomla site, and i would like to integrate an ads system such that the admin can post the ads without any fee from admin panel.
But the normal users in the site must pay to post an ad.
That is, they would be filling up the information such as name, email, ad description and image in the form, and upon submitting the form, it would connect to a payment gateway such as paypal, and upon successful payment, the ad would be inserted in the database, so that the admin can manipulate it later.
Please suggest.
Well, i could find some components and modules that support ads system in joomla, though only few of them support paypal:

i'm still trying to integrate this with my webshop, what i'm want to do is redirect the customer to the bank page, where he/she will enter all the data for tha payment(credit card number, secure code, etc), then he/she will be redirect to my web and here is where my problem begins, if the transaction fails for some reason, i don't whant to save the order, because it implies cleaning up the shoping cart and all the progress untill now, but if the transaction complete successfully, i want the normal proccess of magento that is save the order and redirect to success page, until now, i redirect to the bank page, but when the bank redirects me back to my web, i get an error of magento thats just say
There was an error processing your order. Please contact us or try again later.
so, what can i do here to solve my situation?? any help
Ok, correct me if I'm wrong. You are sending customers to a banking page to make payments and then sending them back to your magento site to save their data and possibly show them the success page?
