I am hosting a site that uses a combination of PayPal and conventional payment options, (written in ASP and CF.) The shopping cart is a custom modification of QuickEstore.

PayPal | support hasn't responded to my question about this, so I thought some of | you might know. | | My question: is it possible to integrate an existing CF shopping cart | with PayPal payment processing? It *appears* to me that to integrate IPN | with a shopping cart, that shopping cart needs to be a PayPal shopping | cart (one created on their site). Or am I incorrect? | | The advantage of a CF-based cart solution is that I can maintain info in | my product database like product special pricing, start and end dates | for product specials, etc., and then display this dynamically. I don't | believe PayPal shopping carts can handle special situations like that. | Anyone know? | | Using PayPal was never my first option, but I cancelled my CC merchant | account and AuthorizeNet account to save some $$ on the monthly fees. | Since I had not experienced a high volume of sales, the fees were | getting to be too much. | | TIA. | | Chris Montgomery monty @ airtightweb.com | | -- | Airtight Web Services http://www.airtightweb.com | Web Development, Web Project Management, Software Sales | 210-490-3249/888-745-7603 | | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists&body=lists/cf_talk FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
