Using a script with paypal to generate usernames/passwords
Posted: Sun Aug 01, 2010 2:49 am
Hey, I own an eBook that people purchase and I have to manually give them a username and password for them to login to it. I then have to e-mail them their account details manually.
I know that some websites like Adobe send you a message through email as soon as you pay online. I use paypal and I'm not sure if it is possible to have a system which generates a username and password and then sends them an e-mail with those account details AND writes these usernames/passwords to a text file. Paypal gives you an option for redirecting the user to a custom "thank you" page, you specify the URL.... i was thinking maybe this thank you page could be some kind of script (php file) which does all of which i described above.
Is this possible?
