Am not familiar with the email invoices thing for outlook, but it should be straight-forward to change the HTML email invoice (or even the PDF one??) to include a PayPal link. Using the PayPal "button creator" I get this link for requesting a payment: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=foo%40bar%2ecom&lc=US&item_name=Invoice%201234&amount=99%2e99¤cy_code=USD&button_subtype=products&bn=PP%2dBuyNowBF%3abtn_buynowCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHostedGuest <https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=foo%40bar%2ecom&lc=US&item_name=Invoice%201234&amount=99%2e99¤cy_code=USD&button_subtype=products&bn=PP%2dBuyNowBF%3abtn_buynowCC_LG%2egif%3aNonHostedGuest > This is for a payment of $99.99 to [email protected] (your address) against invoice 1234. It _should_ be easy to have LedgerSMB insert the appropriate amount & invoice number, and create a URL from the invoice template. Of course, this doesn't mark the payment as made on your LedgerSMB system, but that is probably a bunch more complicated.
