WebHosting Shopping Cart (PaySystems Payment Processor)

The shopping cart below is essentially a webhosting shopping cart using paypal as the credit card processor.

PayPal WebHosting Shopping cart

Below we use php to build the shopping cart, Easy to update the options, recalculate when necessary, and checking out (Go to Paypal) to pay the final sum. Whenever you hit the recalculate button, this webpage reloads, and the php script updates the shopping cart variables.

Summary:
You can directly modify the parameters in the url string to match the parameters to of your shopping cart to your payment processor (PayPal).

We fill in a url string which we pass to paypal (since the size of this url string is small we use the GET http protocol).

https://www.paypal.com/subscriptions/business=email@yourdomain.com&..

email@yourdomain.com - this would be your paypal business account, which will be used to identify you when you send a subscription notification to paypal.

At the end of the page you would have a few paypal reference guide links.

Lets create the following fields, the recalculate and checkout buttons.
