I have a website with simple "buy now" buttons. When a customer makes a purchase, I need to get some data back from PayPal via the web. I need to know the name and email of the purchaser and the PayPal ID of the product purchased. Right now all that happens is I get an email with that information, which is enough for me to process things manually, but I want to be able to have my website process things automatically. I want people to add to car, pay, and get access. Right now they can add to cart and pay, but they have to wait for me to provide them access manually. How can I get a response back from PayPal with the data I need? We are not currently using the PayPal API. Is the API the only way to do that, or can it be done with simple "buy now" buttons?
