for

Paypal, but I need to figure out a better process= .
The way I have it now:
A team fills out a= form and I write all of their info to a db and send
them to a pa= yment page that figures out how much they owe + has a link
to
make the payment on Paypal. They are sent to Paypal with a variable t= hat
gets passed through the process. Once the payment is made peo= ple are
asked
to click on a button to return to my sit= e, which also passes the
variable
back and lets me kno= w the transaction is completed. Many people skip
this
s= tep so I'm stuck trying to compare my Paypal payments to teams in my
database.
I'm interested in Terry's statement: (t= hey do a silent return just like
authorize.net). I'm about to Google it, but if you have details I'd lov= e
to hear about it. It may solve some issues for me.

After many years of many different payment gateways and all the

fees etc, set up etc, for a one-off event that you are talking
about I would stick with the PayPal.
Going t= hrough a payment gateway you will need a bank account with a

l= ist goes on.

I= have built 100s of forms, but I have never linked one to a
merch= ant account before, so I'm looking for some help/direction.
I have a form built for a sporting event where teams register and
then once their data is collected, it sends them to Paypal to make
a payment. The main issue I have with this method is that often
times teams will enter their info, get to the payment page at
=
Paypal and then bail, which leaves me with an unfinished
re= gistration. I'm interested in skipping Paypal and doing it all
ri= ght on my site, but I don't know what I all need to do.
I know I will need a SSL certificate, and to use
<http://authorize.net/>Authorize.= net or someone similar to link to
my merchant, but I don't kn= ow if there's anything special I need
to do in the code. Ideally,= I would need there to be some sort of
confirmation from <http://authorize.net/>auth= orize.net that the
payment was successful before allowing the= registrant to have a
completed transaction.
I honestly don't know how much work is involved here. If it's a
decent amount, I'd be willing to purchase someone's payment page
code to save me time.
Let me know if anyone could h= elp or has advice,
Thanks,
Eddie

Actually PayPal only returns all of TH= EIR variables, of which 2 are available for your values (invoice and custom)= . In other words, it doesn't echo your own variables, so you'll need to writ= e them to your db first and use the invoice var to tap into that record.&nbs= p;

This is off the top of my head. If they've chang= ed it to echo all your vars, then it's a somewhat recent change and I didn't= know that.

Eddie,
= You'= re almost there.  The next step is to enable IPN on your PayPal
account (it's a setting in your PayPal acct. panel).  IPN= allows you to
create a page on your site that PayPal will "notif= y" when the payment has

for
several months a year, I guess it doesn't make a lot of= sense to leave
Paypal, but I need to figure out a better process= .
The way I have it now:
A team fills out a= form and I write all of their info to a db and send
them to a pa= yment page that figures out how much they owe + has a link
to
make the payment on Paypal. They are sent to Paypal with a variable t= hat
gets passed through the process. Once the payment is made peo= ple are
asked
to click on a button to return to my sit= e, which also passes the
variable
back and lets me kno= w the transaction is completed. Many people skip
this
s= tep so I'm stuck trying to compare my Paypal payments to teams in my
database.
I'm interested in Terry's statement: (t= hey do a silent return just like
authorize.net). I'm about to Google it, but if you have details I'd lov= e
to hear about it. It may solve some issues for me.

After many years of many different payment gateways and all the
fuss that goes on in the administrative area of merchant account,<= /div>
fees etc, set up etc, for a one-off event that you are talking
about I would stick with the PayPal.
Going t= hrough a payment gateway you will need a bank account with a

l= ist goes on.

I= have built 100s of forms, but I have never linked one to a
merch= ant account before, so I'm looking for some help/direction.
I have a form built for a sporting event where teams register and
then once their data is collected, it sends them to Paypal to make
a payment. The main issue I have with this method is that often
times teams will enter their info, get to the payment page at
=
Paypal and then bail, which leaves me with an unfinished
re= gistration. I'm interested in skipping Paypal and doing it all
ri= ght on my site, but I don't know what I all need to do.
I know I will need a SSL certificate, and to use
<http://authorize.net/>Authorize.= net or someone similar to link to
my merchant, but I don't kn= ow if there's anything special I need
to do in the code. Ideally,= I would need there to be some sort of
confirmation from <http://authorize.net/>auth= orize.net that the
payment was successful before allowing the= registrant to have a
completed transaction.
I honestly don't know how much work is involved here. If it's a
decent amount, I'd be willing to purchase someone's payment page
code to save me time.
Let me know if anyone could h= elp or has advice,
Thanks,
Eddie
