Paypal has multiple workflows and products. The simplest one is "*Website Payments Standard*" where you direct the user to the paypal website for payment. Not great for the user experience but workable and above all there is no monthly fee associated with it. Another version is "*Website Payment

Both paypal and google require redirection to their sites. The workflow is more complex that needs to be. There is this: http://www.scribd.com/doc/30661771/Web2py-Paypal-Integration Massimo On Jun 1, 8:54 pm, Richard wrote: > would be great if web2py had a robust Paypal solution, which by > ex

would be great if web2py had a robust Paypal solution, which by extension would support credit cards too. Though maybe this is more difficult than it sounds - I know Django has not yet achieved this. Recently I signed up for a conference that used a Django registration system and the Paypal suppor
