vchris Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 I am inquiring about the process to charge users money through a website. This could be an upcoming contract. I heard with php you hold the customer info then you send it to paypal and then paypal sends you a code that the payment was successful or not and you confirm that to the user.Could I get more details on this procedure?Thanks guys!

ltsmadrid Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 It is very very easy. Just follow the instructions of paypal. They will send u the code and u add it to your web site. I have no notions of java script or php and managed it very well. Its up and working on my site (unfortunatly no one (besides myself) have tried it out yet!!)
