Hi,

I want to set up a very simple shopping cart with one discount setting (full vs student/hardship) and a small handful of software products (extensions to my open source SOFA Statistics application www.sofastatistics.com). I have been reading about IPN and PDT and Express Checkout vs Direct Payment etc and also some PHP libraries like https://github.com/pete911/paypal and http://blog.moorberry.biz/2010/04/paypal-nvp-api/.

All I want is for people to be able to buy the extensions by credit card (or paypal credit) and for something to be sent to my system so I can respond to the successful order. Ideally the user will be returned to the SOFA website as well. I can handle the response (saving purchase details to a database etc) but I want the rest to be nice and simple for users. I have also opted for Express Checkout because I don't have a verified US account and Express Checkout should be fine.

Any recommendations? I don't intend to handle refunds or anything else very complicated. I am not using an existing PHP framework and would rather avoid that sort of dependency if at all possible. The complexity will be restricted to how I send the extensions to people and licence them etc.


All the best, Grant
