Help - Payment Via PayPal

[mp202]

Once when I get my payware items up on my website, im using Weebly by the way, and somebody purchases an item, how will I know if they ordered something? And also how would I send the content to them? I have PayPal alerts via mobile. Would this help any?

You need a commercial web account that will let you do that but will cost more or just use Email and PayPal.

now how exactly would I do that. I have to learn this stuff before my payware items are released.

Exactly is the question. It isn't a 'one way fits all applications' process. Rather, there are many ways to skin this cat. First you need a concise plan.
1. Is this going to be totally automated, through a website?
2. Are you going to redirect to a link, or to the download on payment processing?, or send the link via email?
3. Are you going to use paypal for the whole transaction process, or just as a payment gateway?
4. Have you set up a paypal account? If so, have you set up a sandbox account? If not, have you read through the paypal tutorial?
5. If you answer all of these questions, you are most likely left with: The PayPal API which isn't novice friendly, but still not overly complicated.
