[nfbcs] Setting Up a Website to Accept Payments via PayPal

[Nicole Torcolini]

but PayPal doesn't seem to have anything catering to a RTFM type like me.

What do you mean by this?

All:

 

There is growing interest within my affiliate to set up our affiliate
website to accept payments via PayPal. I'll admit that I'm a bit
old-fashioned about this sort of thing so am not terribly enthused at the
prospect. I'm the webmaster so write my own code. My question is this:

 

Is there a narrative document somewhere that describes in detail the process
for setting up one's website to accept PayPal, i.e., accept payments via
credit cards, bank accounts and the like? I realize that PayPal says it
makes things relatively simple by offering code to just plop down into one's
own website code but, frankly, I'd like to know the requirements and process
step-by-step ahead-of-time rather than learning by doing. I'm willing to do
this after reading a detailed description but PayPal doesn't seem to have
anything catering to a RTFM type like me.

 

Also, PayPal seems to have provision for separate web coding to process
donations than it does for accepting payment for registration etc. Is this
really necessary?

 

T I A.
