Paypal payments question

**bschultz** · 7 Mar 2008, 04:48 PM

If I wanted to create a custom shopping cart, and just use the paypalwpp.php script for payments, what sorts of things would I need to consider to make it work?

Is that the only script that I'd have to include, or are there others?

Thanks.

You mean, dump Zen Cart and just steal the PayPal module?

Kind of...I only have 2 products in my cart...and ANY cart is overkill. I don't need all those bells and whistles. Steal is such a harsh term, though!

If you don't need a cart, why not just use PayPal buttons?

Thanks for the help...I'm selling streaming audio. I need a way to authenticate to customer AFTER they've made a payment, and figured that a cart would work best for that. I've had some customers though that can't seem to navigate the shopping cart...turns out reading what's on the page is too difficult for them!

I was then thinking of customizing the cart to just list the two products, with a check box for which item they wanted to buy...thus trying to eliminate the need for the customer to read!
