Installed oscommerce_paypal_ipn,

[jpweber]

Went to the PayPal site ... and even though I already the installed oscommerce_paypal_ipn constribution, do I need to install the following? Well, on the paypal site, it says:

 

"On your checkout page, show your customers that you offer PayPal as a payment option by displaying the PayPal Acceptance Mark."

1 - So should I put this paypal logo somewhere? If so, on checkout.php? Also ....

 

It says:

"When your customers select PayPal as their payment method, redirect them to PayPal to complete the transaction. You send PayPal the details of the transaction through the button's HTML code in a FORM post. "

2 - So should I paste the snippet of code for the form below, somewhere like on checkout.php? It's as follows:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">

<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1">

<input type="hidden" name="business"

value="[email protected]">

<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1"

value="Item Name 1">

<input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="1.00">

<input type="hidden" name="item_name_2"

value="Item Name 2">

<input type="hidden" name="amount_2" value="2.00">

<input type="submit" value="PayPal">

</form>

 

Or is this all unnecessary because I already installed the oscommerce_paypal_ipn contribution already?

 

Thanks!

Paypal IPN already does this for you don't worry about it.. as long as it's set up correctly you won't have a problem.

 

Adding the Paypal logo to your site is up to you, people do like to know how they can pay you though!

Great. Thanks a bunch. I'll put that logo somewhere on checkout.php, I suppose. Appreciate the response!
