I found sample code that is set for classic ASP which is what I'm doing.  However, in the processing of the objHttp response, everything I would need to do is just a set of comments:   ' Check notification validation if (objHttp.status <> 200 ) then ' HTTP error handling elseif (objHttp.responseText = "VERIFIED") then ' check that Payment_status=Completed ' check that Txn_id has not been previously processed ' check that Receiver_email is your Primary PayPal email ' check that Payment_amount/Payment_currency are correct ' process payment elseif (objHttp.responseText = "INVALID") then ' log for manual investigation else ' error end if   The examples for other server code like php shows actual code to retrieve this info.  I don't know that programming language so don't know what to do.  I need examples of the code, not just comments like this.   Paul ...

Thanks GreenGear.  Maybe I will use standard.  Yesterday it was suggested that I use express checkout, but I can change it to standard.   I think some of my other questions might still apply though.  How do I know the payment went through successfully?  Do I have to integrate a listener?  or can I just have a "return" form element?  What will I look at in that web page?  Is there something in the Response object that I can look at like you can do with any "post" action from a form ?   Thanks, Paul ...

I would like to add one more question.  I've found where I have to add some javascript to my page related to performing "paypal.Button.render()" functionality.  In there is a payment function.  I found a real example of this but the amount is hard-coded to be '0.01', which might be good for a basic test, but isn't good in a real situation.  Here's the code:               payment: function(data, actions) {                 // Make a call to the REST api to create the payment                 return actions.payment.create({                     payment: {                         transactions: [                             {                                 amount: { total: '0.01', currency: 'USD' }                             }                         ]                     }    Since this javascript runs when the page is loaded, how do you change anything?  I haven't run this yet because I don't understand what to do so I am waiting for these questions to be answered.   Thanks, Paul  ...

Adding PayPal payment capability to my website

I want to add PayPal payment capability to my website when someone wants to buy my product.  There is so much documentation on the developers' website that I don't know where to begin to find what I think is an easy thing.  I've found some sample HTML code that I have placed on my web page.  However, there seems to be several ways of adding this code.  I would like to whittle these methods down to one that I can use.  So here are my questions: 1. What should the action property of my form be?  I've found a couple.  The one I've currently selected is:  "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" 2. Once PayPal processes the user's payment, how will I be notified that the payment was successful?  I've seen where there is a form element "notify_url" and also a "return" form element.  Both of these have URLs as values. 3. One of the form elements is "business".  What value should I place in there?  Is it my 4.  The sample code I found will handle a single item "item_name" and a single "amount".  I have two products that all users will be buying.  How do I add additional item and amount elements to the form? 5. When I finish the sandbox testing, what has to change in the form?  I assume the "action" value will become something like "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr", but I haven't seen any examples of it. 6. I see references to including the javascript file: "https://www.paypalobjects.com/api/checkout.js".  I've included it on my page but I don't know how to make use of it.   Thanks in advance, Paul ...
