that´s right.

for example on my page, (www.software-and-solutons.de > SQLite, scroll down
"Get a license now" ) you ahve the choice to either log in
or pay via CC.

The nice thing about paypal are the IPM (isntant payment notifications):
They call a PHP/ASP/whatever script on your server
as soon as a new payment arrived, you get full transaction and status
details and can store them in your DB.

it´s quite well documentated here[1].

I can help you out with some PHP-code off-list for the basic API if
neccessary.

Regards,

André

Not anymore. You can now pay with you cc without creating a paypal account.
So it also answers you last question. Do a little research, you should find
something.

I've got a backpack basic plan and I was "forced" to pay with my cc. I wish
they accepted paypal! Paypal is not unprofessional! It's a secure, fast and
convenient way to handle money.
