    I've been building a website for a friend who wants to sell some things and I have it mostly done but I haven't added paypal yet.
    I'm using php and a mysql database.
    My friend would like the site to allow things to be bought via paypal.
    I was wondering what would be the easiest way to add paypal payments to the site?
    I'm not sure what way to go about it.
    There seems to be a lot of different ways of doing it.

    Are you using a CMS like Wordpress or coding it by hand?

    The PayPal website has PHP examples to get you going. Sign up for a developer account and test your code using the sandbox functionality before going live.

    It's coded completely by hand with php and a mysql database.
    No CMS was used.
    I felt it was better coding it by hand because I have complete control over what it is doing.
    Though it has been a lot more difficult doing it that way.
