I want to integrate paypal with my website.
I have studied the documentation available on paypal website.
My requirement is
A user selects a category, based on category course is populated,user selects course and discount. I want the user to pay through paypal according to the course selected. Also the data should be inserted into a table after successfull payment.
I have checked sample code also but i am unable to figure out how to accomplish this task ie how to make it dynamic according to the user choice. I think ipn would be used but not sure.
Plese help
Thanks
I don't think there is an option for that. Only configured prices.
The only field that doesn't have an price setup is "Donations"
Also in PayPal you can configure the stock that you have for every products, shipping price and tax.

I am making a Typeform as an order form for my product that has a lot of customization so Typeform is perfect for it, however Stripe payments are not available in my country. Does anyone have experience with integrating Paypal into Typeform order form? Possibly by using page redirect and then passing the price to the paypal payment button and somehow linking the form submission ID with the payment ID?
Or are there any other services like Typeform that are so easy to use and look great?
Thank you for any help / suggestions
I think the best option in your case would be using the redirect after submit feature.
If you're using Typeform as an order form then probably you're using the calculator feature to get the final price, so you have some kind of PRO account. I'm not sure how the PayPal API works, but if you use redirect after submit (in the form settings) then you can add the calculated "score" (price) as a querystring there.
For details on how to set it up, checkout Typeform's help center
Quill Forms has a native integration with Paypal and supports subscriptions as well.
I'm confused by the array of Paypal APIs and options out there. Can someone help me to identify a good starting point for a virtual/digital product option that can have some custom meta data associated with it? Here are my requirements:
I'm selling in-app credits/currency
I'm using PHP to integrate with Paypal
Each purchase must be able to attach some data (for example, a user ID and a product ID from my database) that will be passed back to me so I can identify which user purchased which product, so once it is verified with Paypal, I'll know how to give the digital product to the buyer.
I assumed that "Digital Goods for Express Checkout" would do the trick, since it seems designed for online/virtual/digital types of products. However, I'm having trouble finding a way to pass through the user ID and product ID with this option. I also looked at the example and library at https://github.com/thenbrent/paypal-digital-goods-php-examples but I don't see an obvious way attach this dynamic meta data.
Thanks for any help!
Actually you only want one id. Nothing more is needed. Before processing the order, you bind the id with your meta data (in a database like MySQL).
Then in the listener you can pull out the data using the id.
Hope it helped
I just wanted to know if it is possible using paypal REST api that we can disable the shipping information form on paypal site. I am currently working on a site to implement cart checkouts, For fist time, I found paypal saying "We dont allow US merchants to make shippings to countries outside US". So I started saving our shipping data to my own database and left paypal to process shipping amount (which is calculated on my end) only. now, issue is that I want paypal to not to ask for the shipping address at their's end as it would be confusing for a user. Any suggestions regarding this?
I'm not sure you can do that unless you flag all your products as digital (and hope Paypal doesn't notice). That might be a violation of their TOS, however.
Another option is to use Payments Pro and do your own checkout process, where you control what data is collected and passed along (and shipping data is definitely optional).
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 created a basket where a user can add to and update etc. This basket has been built based on what product the user adds to cart obviously. The product itself is grabbed from the database and displayed in a table in the basket. How do I use Paypal from here? I now want a button called 'pay' that the user can click and then it takes them to Paypal to pay. But I want the details of the items to be displayed in Paypal.
I have signed up to paypals web standard payment. Obviously I don't need their add to cart buttons since I have got my own cart. I think I just need the buy button but as mentioned, I am not sure how to get products over to Paypal.
Can somebody explain what I need to do please
This broad of a topic is generally best suited with a quick Google search. Basically, find a paypal form (perhaps through Paypal's button builder) and edit the form's values to suit your needs. This can be accomplished with php or javascript quite easily (PHP is a bit safer as it limits tampering). Then users send the form :)
You can also create a link such ashttps://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=$business which will do the same as the full form (add all of the fields you want to send, of course).
Give it a shot - if you have more specific questions, post back with clarifications.
