RE: Paypal Integration - Auto Return question
This is just how it works and why you shouldn't use auto return. If the user does not return from paypal to your site for any reason then u have no record of the transaction, they could just close the browser as well. Use IPN method instead so that the callback happens in the background and does not rely on the user returning to your site.

Buy Now Paypal integration workflow
Anyone ever have this issue when integrating a Buy Now button from Paypal? I have a site where a user posts a listing for an item, say a shirt. They are also allowed to upload 3 images for that item. I'm charge a listing fee that equals a percentage of the asking price of that item (say 5%). Once the user fills out the details, and uploads the images, they go to the review page. If they approve it, they are sent to Paypal, where thay pay the listing fee, then are returned to my site. However, how can I make sure that they've completed the Paypal transaction, since their item has already been posted? I'm trying to figure out a way that their item won't be posted until after they've completed the Paypal transaction.

There are some utilities out there to help you with the integration. Using the Buy Now, you would send over a success_url or failed_url (I think that is correct) which would be a page within your website.

RE: Buy Now Paypal integration workflow
Hi Rick, You should use the IPN (Instant Payment Notification) feature of PayPal. There is example ColdFusion code on the PayPal site for processing the IPN Post data that is returned to the page that you specify as the return page for the IPN. Essentially, the workflow could be: 1. User logs in 2. Create product and in database and set status to pending 3. Upload images and associate with product record 4. Click Buy Now Button and go to PayPal site (Buy Now Button has various properties you can set, some of which can be retrieved from the IPN Post data) 5. Have the IPN take the user back to thankyou.cfm 6. Read the IPN Post data inside thankyou.cfm 7. Update your product record status to completed Cheers, Martyn -Original Message- From: Rick King [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 04, 2006 9:39 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Buy Now Paypal integration workflow Anyone ever have this issue when integrating a Buy Now button from Paypal?

RE: Buy Now Paypal integration workflow
Hi, Rick... Sorry I don't have an answer for you, because I have no experience with ecommerce...however, I have thought of creating a virtual Mall for our area and allowing local merchants to sell their wares on the site. Is that what you're doing...or something similar? Rick -Original Message- From: Rick King [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 03, 2006 4:39 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Buy Now Paypal integration workflow Anyone ever have this issue when integrating a Buy Now button from Paypal? I have a site where a user posts a listing for an item, say a shirt. They are also allowed to upload 3 images for that item. I'm charge a listing fee that equals a percentage of the asking price of that item (say 5%). Once the user fills out the details, and uploads the images, they go to the review page. If they approve it, they are sent to Paypal, where thay pay the listing fee, then are returned to my site. However, how can I make sure that they've completed the Paypal transaction, since their item has already been posted?

Re: Buy Now Paypal integration workflow
So I tried implementing IPN, made all the preference changes on Payapl, read up on the lastest IPN tutorial over at easycfm by Mike Daugherty (http://tutorial468.easycfm.com/), and am using the code below. Unfortunately, I'm only receiving the contents of the cfelse statement which means it's not returning SUCCESS. I'm sure the authToken is correct. Has anyone else tried implementing this code?

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.
