How to integrate paypal

[helenp]

Hi, I am working on integrating paypal, and I done the first steps, know I am thinking of the booking procedure, normally the clientes sends us there bookingform filled in by fax or by email, so I would like the client as well as us to get a "bookingform" if possible, if not I suppose it have to be an emailconfirmation.

Also I wonder if necesary secure pages as the payment steps are done inside paypal.
I have SSL/TLS Manager in my cpanel account and dont know if that is a shared certificate or only a tool to manage my pages, anyway not sure it will be needed.

Any ideas on how to integrate it?

You will need to create the "Booking Form" separately. It cannot be done from Paypal. From the "Booking Form" you will have to send the Credit Card details, and admin account details of the Paypal account you have to process payment online using Paypal.

You'll need to gather any information outside of the financial transaction through separate forms or other means. With some clever programming you could use one form on your website that does both jobs >> collects the additional data and does something with it AND sends the user to PayPal where they can make their payment.
