Can a Standard Checkout be used on a flat html/php website?

[juniordawson]

I have a website that is coded in HTML/PHP only. In development it does run some SASS processing, but otherwise, there is no 'build' process for this website.

I want to add item specific buttons to product pages, so that people can buy specific items via Paypal.

Can I use the Standard Checkout for this purpose, within such a simply built website?

I have the ability to work with NodeJS etc, but am trying to limit the amount of build integration work I have to do... purely because I want to be working on the products, not investing a lot of time in web development.

If I sign up for a Business account, and then work with the Standard Checkout files, and link to my specific IDs and Secrets... Can I then add buttons specific to individual products, on to my flat HTML/PHP pages?

Thanks

Good day @juniordawson  , 

Thank you for reaching out to the PayPal community.

I would like to inform you that Standard Checkout cannot be used on a flat HTML/PHP website, as it requires REST API integration.

We have provided a few sample requests using other frameworks. For more information, please refer to the following link: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/

If you are still experiencing issues, kindly create an MTS ticket via the following URL and provide a description of the issue along with any error details: https://www.paypal-support.com/s/?language=en_US

Thank you for choosing PayPal.

Sincerely,

Vaishnavi

Thanks for the reply Vaishnavi.

I have since found that Stripe provides the service I need, so will be using them instead of Paypal... But thanks very much for getting back to me.
