Integrating Paypal into site

[cyphix]

If you've got a site where you want to intergrate paypal payments into it & when the user pays they click on Paypals "continue" button to get whatever they bought added to their account.

How do yo do this? I mean, how do you pass through all the information through paypal & make sure you only give them credit once they've paid & make sure they can't manipulate it to get free stuff.

Anyone with experience with this that can help me get it working with my site I will give all my DNF!

Ok.. I know that's not much now heh... but it's all I got!

Is this a downloadable product?

No.. people buy credits to use something on the site. 1 credit ='s 1 use but they can buy 1 or multuple credits @ once.

I believe Paypal has some free tools on their site that will help you do this.

Ok, I'll go look at their site....

Only way I can think of doing it is by sending paypal a random number (not via the URL) & then this number will show as a hidden form field only once they have paid (on the continue button page) & then my script will keep this number as a session variable & will only process the order if it gets the correct number back from paypal.

Anyway lol... I'll check out their stuff. :-D
