Paypal payment without leaving the site

I probably should not answer since I have very little experience here, but I do not think you should be able to implement a Paypal payment without sending the user to the Paypal site. Unless Paypal themselves have implemented a portal which would allow this. Unless they specifically did this, it would be too insecure.

So if no one else answers your question here, you may wish to contact Paypal or surf their site and see what they may offer, if anything, in this area.

My former wife tried to set up a payment system on her site but not with Paypal, and it was very difficult because of the security precautions, requirements for SSL transactions, etc.

Hi.

I think this is what you are looking for (or the UK version).

Don't really know much about it. Came across it some time ago but never took the time to get to know it.

Be careful tho if you plan on implementing your own payment system. I wouldn't recommend it unless you can set it up an a SSL connection.

I want to know What are the requirements to implement this? Can I implement this using only PHP? What would be the time frame to successfully complete this process? or any suggesstion and more info would be useful. Thanks All

PayPal does provide an API (Application Program Interface) that allow you to do transactions through XML and communicate with their site.

Ask your self, is it really worth all the trouble and risk of making your own payment site?

People trust paypal than any new comer/unknow site. They will hesitate to give you CC numbers.

If your ready for the risk and think you've got it all down, yes this is definetly possible and have done it personally.

Thank you. My client has now changed his mind to go for Authorize.net. I look back to come to this site with more questions. :)
