[Pro] PayPal & Freeway

Can anyone give me some instruction on how to do PayPal in Freeway. The reference pdf does touch on it, but it seems to be more about the Mal’s E-commerce than simple PayPal. I didn’t do the original site with Paypal, that was done by someone else. Thanks in advance.

PayPal is a payment gateway not really a shopping cart like Mal’s so you need a ‘cart’ before the payhorse - so to speak.

You can do simple things like add PayPal buttons which will add products to a PayPal cart but each one has to be created in your PayPal account and then the code added to your FW page.

The advantage of Mal’s and its FW integration is that it can all be done within FW and, if you want, you can use payPal to process the payment.

But if you want to add a PP button then you go into your PP account and create it there before inserting as a Markup item in FW.

Hi David,

just coming through from the “Member Login” thread you helped me with as the next thing I’ll need is a shopping cart system. I really like the simplicity of your example above. Could you just check that I understand the above correctly:

  1. I need a Paypal account
  2. I design the product pages with all the relevant info in FW
  3. Then I need to set up the info for each item for sale on Paypal’s site, to create a button for it, copy the button (not sure what the copying involves)
  4. Then add that button as a Insert>Markup Item on the product appropriate page and place, right?

Which means that if the number of items for sale is small and doesn’t change that often, I could just bypass solutions like PHP Jabbers or Mal’s, right?

Thanks

You could but the FW actions for mal’s makes things very easy - no markup required.
