Re: PayPal Help
Requiring our users to provide all the information for a valid login isn't really a 'Pay Now' option imho. Since it's required anyway to have a site login, I would show the Pay button only when you have validated the account creation form and the new account is created in your database. As a visual trick maybe you can display a 'Pay Now' button that not links to PayPal but only submits your own account creation form.

PayPal Help
I managed to figure out the harder PayPal Pro website gateway integration but cant seem to figure out the simple Pay Now buttons. Basic scenario is if the User is not logged in they have to create an account and pay in 1 shot. Pay Pal has a requirement that you offer customers the option to use Pay Now / Express Checkout without logging into your site I need to figure this out. So the form appears with "Create your account" username,password, confirm password so submit the form if it validates the user is created, take the newly created User.id and pass that to PayPal in [custom] key value => $id but how do I then send the info to PayPal? If I click on the PayPal buy now button it sends the user to PayPal to log into their PayPal account but at this point its too late because I sent no info. One or the other but I cant seem to figure out how to do both at once. Should I create a regular registration form but point it to PayPal $url, run validation before sending on the User.fields. If validates creates the user , grab the id and then pass that to the info that gets sent to PayPal? But once the form is validated wont it just send off ? Clueless. Can someone who has done something like this point me in the right direction, tips, suggestions. Greatly appreciated.
