Hello, would appreciate some help in moving from PayPal buttons ('add to basket', 'view basket') to WorldPay.

In developing a website a few years ago for a friend's business I used PayPal buttons for payment (generating an 'add to basket' button for each item by php code using data from mysql database) because this seemed the simplest and easiest payment solution (I taught myself php / mysql for this project and have little experience - I work in a completely different area but had some coding experience and thought i could help out as a favour - this is the only site i look after).

Now friend has got fed up with high % taken by PayPal and has signed up for WorldPay. I haven't been as involved in this as i should have been, and went along with it when friend (whose knowledge of web stuff is very limited) said 'they do all integration for you' even though i thought this was unlikely... i think the misunderstanding was that they do all the testing. of course, the testing has 'failed' because no integration has been done...

So now i need to sort out the integration. The worldpay support seems to indicate shopping cart software should be used, but i don't really understand this. Can anyone recommend a (the most?) simple way to enable worldpay integration, based on the code i already have to generate paypal buttons - ie could this code be used to generate buttons for another 'shopping cart' (or my own code?) that worldpay could be compatible with?

Would really appreciate any help, and yes i realise i should have been on top of this much earlier.

Thanks very much, Katie
