Automated payment notification with php
- by Rob Y
I'm about to integrate automated payments into a site.
To date, I've successfully used paypal for a number of projects, but these have always been sites which sell physical goods, meaning I can upload the cart contents, user pays, person physically ships goods.
This site is a one off payment to enable extra features on a web app. My current thinking is to go down the paypal IPN route to get a notification back and update the users account based on the successful payment.
Question is in two parts:
1 - is there a better / simpler way? (any payment processor considered)
2 - does anyone know of a code library or plug in for php which will speed up my integration?
Thanks for your help.
