Coding In HTML help

You would have to build up the columns which then will initialize the layout of your recent Paypal payments. Then next you would need the automatic updating and connected Paypal coded in. So were you looking for coding help, coding explanations, or actually having someone do it for you?

 

Like...Im No Good at this.. i need help with it

 

You would use the Paypal IPN system. Which that is only available for Premier or Business accounts, which you can easily update to at any time.

IPN Intro:https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/ipn/integration-guide/IPNIntro/
Code Examples: http://paypal.github.io/sdk/sample-apps/

HTML helps alittle but PHP helps a bunch more. You would use HTML/PHP headers to verify that the person paying isn't actually faking the sent data (usually).

Good example you could look at that works is here. (Though the payer_email var is alittle weird.)

 

Bussiness Accounts Not for me...I need my SSN or Tax ID....meaning imma get Taxed or In big trouble if somethings off...then i gotta worry bout the Requirements

 

ok guys...Just woke up...got work today....How do i set up Paypal IPN

 

Setting your IPN: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/customerprofileweb?cmd=_profile-ipn-notify

As I said, either switch to Premier or Business. If you don't want business just use the Premier one. (Account Types)

But you need to setup your IPN forwarding file on your server(/website). When you go to setup your IPN from the link above its just gonna ask you what file to forward the info back to and seeing as you haven't set that up yet you shouldn't have to do it yet. If you wanna go simple and not have to code anything yourself just go with that donation center I posted about and throw that on, setup your DB info then link that ipn.php file and your good to go and don't have to touch anything else.

Of course that system works likes this:

1. Payer goes to page to select amount.
2. Payer clicks "Donate" button that goes to the paypal login page.
3. After paypal is finished it redirects the payer to the info page.
4. Payer fills info page with name/site/comment.
5. During 4 paypal forwards payment info back to the ipn file on your server.
6. ???
7. PROFIT?

But if you want it to display payments off your paypal without using that sort of system I think you would need to use cURL to login to your paypal and gather element data and store it. Paypal has no sort of API other than the IPN that I know of. Can you send a link of your site in a PM to me so I can see where would need it so I can see what you would need?

 

Yes, as [member=Yumiyashi] said, IPN would be your best bet. Displaying the list of recent donors automatically upon donation is possible but quite unsecure. To do that you would be using a cURL php command to login to your paypal and grab the recent donations. Even then, it wouldn't be showing just your donations but all your recent payments. Also, someone with a little knowledge could easily snatch your paypal login from the cURL command when it executes. I think you're safest to go with the IPN, just Google it

 

Though cURL wouldn't be a choice because Beastly doesn't know PHP and I was talking with him and let him know how to do the IPN stuff. (Problem is that I haven't been on enough to give any tips or code snippets.)
I did however link a PHP script that does work so I think he is using that now but I haven't checked.

Using any sort of authentication system for payments is always recommended to use SSL (https) to make sure you make a secure connection while sending PayPal commands. Though, I don't think using an IPN should need SSL.

Instead of PHP you could always try asp pages seeing as you know C#.
