That is all possible, except for that #4 above conflicts with #2, since you don't know the shipping cost until the user chooses it, and it changes the total, which you can't do since they've already paid. Or does PayPal let you go back in and charge more once you know shipping? (as an aside, I completely dislike PayPal's shipping model. It is idiosyncratic at best, and brain damaged at worst. That's why in Satchmo we just call our shipping a "handling" charge when we are sending it to PayPal and set shipping to 0.00) If you have only one shipping type, and the price doesn't vary by destination, you could just precalculate it before sending to PayPal, otherwise I'm not sure how that is supposed to work. I'm really not sure what the advantage of PayPal express over regular PayPal is supposed to be. What is its killer feature? There must be something. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
