I am adding paypal to an ecommerce site. Because of the unique nature of the items we are selling, I need to lock the items in the db and then send the user to paypal.
So, here are the steps: 1. Log in (email/password) 2. Select payment via paypal or "classic"(cc on site). For this example, paypal. 3. Display message to user that items will be locked for 15 minutes with button to pay now/checkout. 4. Send to paypal. I've got one and two, but I'm a little fuzzy on step three. There are a couple of ways I can do this so I would like input on which would be best. After the button is clicked, I could lock the item and cfhttp the first paypal page, submitting the required cart info form variables, keeping everything in one step Or, I could lock th items and have the output be the form submitting the cart contents to the paypal checkout page. Which would be better? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
