Im adding paypal payments to my site via a buy it now button, which as i understand it posts a form to paypal then the user completes payment on paypal’s site.
To process the order after payment is confirmed im using an IPN listener, but id like to do some processing on our server at the time of ordering too. Is it possible to have the buy it now button submit to our own server first so i can record the order, before redirecting to paypal for payment details?
You have two options here.
First option that is more simple but can fail if the user did not have javascript, is to make a post to your server with what data you like, with ajax, and only after the return you let the user continue the submit.
Second option is to post your data to your server on code behind, there you prepare a simple page with auto submit to paypal – actually you make a redirect with post. Here you can find source code and one example on how to make it:
