Hi folks,

Has anybody managed to integrate Paypal in ACS 4.6 I would use Authorize net, but for the servce I have in mind it's not a realistic option.

Thanks

I can't really see what would need to be done - paypal basically just requires you to make some magic urls that follow a very simple syntax and need the following information:

* your paypal merchant id (a fixed number)
* your product price
* your product code (optional and totally up to you)
* weight (optional)

and maybe a few other optionals. donations are even simpler

The paypal documents describing this are:
