Is it possible to get an instant response from a paypal transaction and do they have to leave your site to pay by paypal?
I am working on a site where the user needs to make a one off payment so I have been looking for donation scripts, but most of them are pay for and the only one I found does not give an instant response http://www.ibdhost.com/donation/. If you have any related scripts that you have used before It would be greatly appreciated if you could post them.
Thanks
My application, http://www.perqworks.com, uses Paypal Website Payment Pro. In the API is a notion of Instant Payment Notification (IPN). https://cms.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/?&cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/library_code_ipn_code_samples
How it works is that a person pays with a credit card. Paypal sends an https response to a ‘listener’ on my server. With the listener, you can decide to continue the process or throw an error based on the response codes from Paypal.
The documentation and sandbox helped, but the Paypal API can be a little tricky to get your head wrapped around.
