PayPal buy now

Python

I need to create a script where people can buy items online using PayPal. Then once they have paid they are sent an email with the link to download the product file...

How is this done?

Any tutorials available on the subject?

Thanks

You can set it up in PayPal so that it redirects to another page when they buy what eva it s, But you would need to change it like once a week encase people were giving it out!

And then there is that other service they do, Cant remember whats its called but Paypal contacts ur server and vise versa and then you can log there IP of who eva's bought what eva or send it to them i a download or what eva

You wouldn't want to simply use a redirect, but you're right, they do offer a service.

What you're looking for is their IPN service (instant payment notification). In your profile, under Selling Preferences choose Instant Payment Notification Preferences. You can enter the URL to a script on your site, and after each purchase, they send a bunch of info to that script. The script can confirm, then perhaps email a member user name and password to your users.

They have a page of information on it with an SDK, too, but I didn't want to go digging for it
