Then only thing I ran into is that the following lines of code are NOT
needed:

<CFIF IsDefined("FORM.payment_date")>
    <CFSET str = str &
"&payment_date=#URLEncodedFormat(Form.payment_date)#">
</CFIF>
<CFIF IsDefined("FORM.subscr_date")>
    <CFSET str = str & "&subscr_date=#URLEncodedFormat(Form.subscr_date)#">
</CFIF>

Unless you're going to add a <cfelse>..Throw an error..</cfif> to the two
<cfif>'s above, they're just redundant, and may add these form variables
TWICE to your query string.... which may give unexpected results.

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?

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
