hello
I have been battling with the paypay website trying to work out how to integrate paypal into my site (using Express Checkout, which I assume is the way to go). I seem to be going around in circles trying to find simple instructions and the API.
I have found the Name-Value Pair API Developer Guide and the Express Checkout Integration Guide, but they seem to make things very complicated. I thought it would be a bit like calling a reCaptcha - i.e.easy! Can anyone point me in the direction of the PHP API, and perhaps the relevant guide. Or this a really major job requiring an SDK and years of experience?
Thanks

Well there are library's and classes out there that are pre-made allowing you to just slip in the rest of your code but I would suggest that only experienced coders mess around with money etc as i personally would like to know that if i order anything I know its going to work and theres no loop holes etc.

I agree, but I thought all you would have to do is call three functions as defined by the PayPal PHP API, isn't that how things are done?Peter Kelly wrote:Well there are library's and classes out there that are pre-made allowing you to just slip in the rest of your code but I would suggest that only experienced coders mess around with money etc as i personally would like to know that if i order anything I know its going to work and theres no loop holes etc.
