camdav72 0 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Hi, I am just finalizing my first website and need a little advice on creating a form to complete a sale. I want to get customers name address email etc and then link to paypal to finalise payment. What is the best way to do this? I can create the form easily enough but am not too sure about getting the customers details sent to me via email etc. Advice please????? CheersCammy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don E 125 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 You're going to need a server side script that processes the information and sends it via email to you. Something like ASP or PHP can help you with this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krewe 51 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Plus, make sure you have an SSL certificate installed so you can use HTTPS Edited January 15, 2012 by Krewe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
camdav72 0 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 Thanks for the advice chaps - I was told by someone that paypal is the best way to go here... Is it really simple to do? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don E 125 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 From my understanding as well, yes paypal is a really good option to go about with transactions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Krewe 51 Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) It is a very simple way to use billing and purchasing, however, it will not do automatic billing just so you know.Once again, if you have payment, you MUST have an SSL certificate on the site so you direct them to an https version of the payment area. I am pretty sure it is a law now that any payment transactions have to be HTTPS secure. Edited January 15, 2012 by Krewe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
