    Hi:
    I would like users who fill my registration form to pay through Paypal. Has anyone integrated any payment gateway like Paypal? If so, could you please help explain how to do this? Thanks a lot.

    Hiya Toyin,

    I found it quite easy to do thanks to the advice on these pages. If you make the redirect page (i.e. the 'success' page that you define when you are building the form) the PayPal payment page, then your clients can complete the payment process there.

    The above links tell you where to find a PayPal button generator, and there is another good PayPal code generator (the one that I used) - at:

    http://www.powersellersunite.com/buttonfactory.php?button=buynow#top

    You can also have values that your clients have entered in the form dynamically entered into your paypal payments (the redirect) page by following the instructions here:

    For instance, you could have a user enter number of items, length of subscription period or price of item (as well as any other field) and have the paypal page pre-filled with this information so that your user only has to click the paypal button. Or you could leave it so that the customer selects any options directly from the PayPal payments page.

    I prefer to have the info dynamically sent (as session variables) as this ensures that the amount and options entered into the database tally with the amount sent to PayPal.

    You would specify the final 'thanks for your payment' page in your paypal account preferences.
