westmidsguy Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 okay so I have not got a payment thing set up... how do i configure my site so that customers are able to pay via paypal?
web-project Posted October 22, 2009 Posted October 22, 2009 simply download the PayPal IPN module and install it.

I can recommend: if you can't read the installation manual, don't bother to install any contribution yourself. Before installing contribution or editing/updating/deleting any files, do the full backup, it will save to you & everyone here on the forum time to fix your issues.

westmidsguy Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 where can i find this? i have tried at http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2679 but which one is the one to use? and where can I find help to install the paypal module/?
westmidsguy Posted October 23, 2009 Author Posted October 23, 2009 also in order to have this working properly do I need a paypal express merchent account? for money to go into my account when customers pay for goods? what are the charges for a merchent account?
multimixer Posted October 23, 2009 Posted October 23, 2009 Yes, you need to have a merchant account to get money from paypal. About how to do this, charges etc the best is you visit the paypal website. There you can also see the differences between the payment ways. osCommerce has some pre-installed paypal modules, you can enable them under admin>modules>payment My community profile | Template system for osCommerce - New: Responsive | Feedback channel
