I have a website which will be added paypal integration. But i still not sure which method (paypal merchant service) is right for me.
My website is selling service like placing banner in my website, which i want it automate published when the customer already paid through paypal. THe flow is like this.
- Customer input form and information where to place the image.
- From admin panel, then i will be select to approve or not this banner.
- if i choose approve. My script will create temporary data which this banner is already approved and on the other hand my script will also contact the paypal to create invoice and send it to the customer.
- After the customer get the mail from paypal, if the customer is already paid. Then i will receive information about this through mail. and paypal also contact me (contact atomically via Program Script, in this case is PHP) which give me infortaion the banner for ID (identification number) is paid. Then my script will set this banner to published.
- Me and Customer get notification if the banner is published.
Can somebody inform me which paypal service can do that?
Thank you for your help,

I don’t know why do you want to approve the banners – I think its rather a small possibility that your users will want to pay for advertising and display spammy banners. I would go with a simplified process – implement a ‘shopping cart’ for the banners – location, size, exposure time, etc – let the user choose what he wants and needs, compute a sum to be paid and then direct the user straight to the PayPal to let him pay, automatically approving the banner appearance. If you make the user wait between his order and your approval, there are very big chances that the customer will change his mind and not buy anymore.
Anyway, both workflows can be implemented using PayPal’s Instant Payment Notification
