PayPal intigration


I recently have been setting up an ecommerce site from the ground up. One of the task at hand was to incorporate Paypal as a method to the checkout process. Paypal offers many ways to do this. From APIs that process the credit cards on your site to passing off variables over, to simply adding a buy now button on each product.

Basic Steps

1. Sign up for a PayPal account. They have personal, premier, and business accounts. You will need to upgrade to a premier or business account to accept credit cards. PayPal is always happy to let you upgrade.
2. Download the source code above
3. Put in your PayPal email address in the SendPayPal.aspx page
4. Tailor the Master Page to have the look desired
5. Add your products to the xml file
6. Add your pictures to the pictures folder

These are fileds in the hidden type which was provided by Paypal, these are the default parameters ,we couldn't the change those names.
