Hi,

 

I am looking to add a payment gateway to a clients website, something I have never done. The client is looking for payment to be taken for a service, this will be a standard payment of £99 so no shopping cart required or further e-commerce - also they want the client to be able to pay either through their own Paypal account or visa, master card, visa debit etc without having to register. They want the client to be able to enter all details from contact to more specific inline with the product.

 

So I need a payment gateway which accepts paypal and non-paypal account holder payments, an integrated form to take specific customer details (I am guessing this will require either a database or e-mail validation).

 

Thanks

I'd suggest the easiest approach would be to use something like http://www.phpcart.net/php_cart.php - it's a simple checkout system that plugs into popular payment gateways, the advantages are that it does all the complex payments stuff for you, you can set up response emails and log orders.

I may well have to get a developer to apply this for me as my PHP knowledge is very limited so a question:

 

Is there anyway I can add a form which is styled into the website which either links all content to a database or sends and e-mail to the client, when the form is complete the next step will be payment which then links to the Paypal website to either make a one off payment using visa/mastercard/visa debit etc or sign in using a Paypal account the customer already has set up? Thanks

^ that's pretty much what that checkout script does.

 

You set up your product pages however you want, the scripts admin interface has a link generator for product "Buy" links

When a buy link is clicked the user gets forwarded to the cart page, and from there they can checkout using whatever payment gateway. The cart template is completely customisable.

Hi,

 

So must the client have a paypal account in place to accept payments from both Paypal website standards or only if they decide to go with Paypal Payments pro? I also have been doing a bit of further digging and is not necessary for the customer to leave the website if a Paypal API is built into the website using Paypal Payments pro?

 

Thanks
