Look into paypal IPN. It still isn't perfect, but its more integrated than the options you describe.
Gads... Where was that Paypal/CF IPN tutorial again? -------------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc. http://mysecretbase.com -------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Ryan Stille [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 8:43 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: PayPal integration Slightly off topic: I am looking at adding PayPal as a payment option to a ColdFusion shopping cart we wrote. As far as I can tell, you can't integrate it very tightly. I see two ways: 1) Buy Now Button Method: allows a user to jump from a product detail page to the PayPal checkout form. Only allows one item to be purchased at a time. Bypasses all our checkout pages including shipping and tax calculation. 2) Shopping Cart Method: offers Add To Cart buttons on each product page. Clicking this button opens a new window with a PayPal shopping cart in it. Allows more than one item to be purchased at a time. Bypasses all our checkout pages including shipping and tax calculation. Am I understanding this right? Is there any other way to do it? If we add this feature as an option, when orders are placed using PayPal they wouldn't be in our system because we have no way of knowing if the order went through, or if the user changed quantities, etc. Thanks for any input. -Ryan ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Your ad could be here.
