Paypal buttons on my e-commerce site that automatically grants access once user pays?

[semt]

I'm going to be building a small and simple e-commerce site soon and I'm going to be selling access to 3 pieces of information.

so for example, on my site, I would have a place that would say :

"click and pay here if you want access to information on how to lose weight in 10 days".

I want this to be a automated process, meaning, the minute they pay for it, they are automatically granted access to the information.

So in other words, I wouldn't personally have to send over the information to the buyer, they should be given it automatically.

Is it possible to do that with paypal?

Good day @semt,

Thank you for contacting PayPal community.

Our sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Yes, you can able to achieve this requirement using the payment notifications service. 

Payment notifications is a message service that automatically notifies merchants of events related to PayPal transactions. Merchants can use it to automate back-office and administrative functions, including automatically fulfilling orders and providing customers with order status.

Please integrate any one of below notification service based on your integration environment. By implementing this service, PayPal system will send you payment confirmation response to your server, once payment is completed and you need to handle your internal website code and grant information access to your customers. 

I request to please contact your website developer or the support of your third party platform eCommerce to refer below guide links to implement payment notification service. 

• If your website is built via NVP/SOAP API integration, please use the Instant Payment Notification(IPN) service to get the payment notifications.

           Guide link - https://developer.paypal.com/api/nvp-soap/ipn/

• If your website is built via REST API integration, please use Webhooks event notification to get the payment notifications.

             Guide link - https://developer.paypal.com/api/rest/webhooks/ 

You can retrieve the transaction payload from the PayPal notification service and update your internal database. 

Note : PayPal system is a payment gateway, which will receive the payment request values(i.e customer name, amount, currency details etc.) from merchant websites(third party platform) and process the payment accordingly. 

Merchants should handle their internal website code. 

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Chiranjeevi

Sorry, I wasn't being clear enough.

I want this automatic information to be concealed until the buyer actually pays for the item.

Is that possible?

And I recently heard about paypal.me and that sounds like something that would work for me.

Would I be able to accomplish the same things, but except with paypal.me?

thank you for the help.
