Paypal within Chronoforms, my solution

[hustad]

Hi,
Just wanted to share what i did to for my paypal integration.

It works like this: User filles out form fields. Presses Submit button and a mail is sent to site admin. Then a page with a By now button and some text are shown.
To complete the payment the user presses the Buy now button and paypal with the correct values are launched.

My customer is selling digital reports, and the amount is always one and there is a different price for each report. I did not need a chart solution, only a Paypal buy now button.

I created the html form and included in chronoforms. At the "form code" tab on "On submit code - after sending emails" i just pasted in the following: (this is pasted on each report where it has different amount and item_name)

Code: Select all

Press the "Buy Now" button below to complete the transaction: <br />
<br />
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
   <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
   <input type="hidden" name="business" value="post@domain.com">
   <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Astro report">
   <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="12.95">
   <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
   <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
   <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
   <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.domain.com">
   <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but23.gif" name="submit" alt="Make payments with payPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

Thank You @hustad
Worked Great For Me.
A Little Hinch Tough.
I Am Accepting Qty In A Textbox, So How Do I Pass The Qty ?
After Payment Is Processed, Need To Email The User Automatically (Actually Emailing Event Ticket).
Have To Make Sure That Ticket Is Emailed Only If Payment Is Made

(Sorry To Dig 2 Year Old Thread, I Thought Maybe Better Then Creating A New One)

Oops Sorry For Confusion.
By Passing Qty, I Mean

Price Is Fixed, But User Can Purchase Any Number Of Tickets..
So Total Price Is Different
I Meant To Ask How Do I Pass The Total Price
Thanks

Hi, I think that there is another hidden field to be added with the quantity, you better check paypal docs for the field name!

Cheers

Hi CodeLab,

You'll need to calculate the Totsl - either using JavaScript in the Form HTML or with a little PHP in the Onsubmit Before code:

Code: Select all

<?php
$quantity = JRequest::getInt('quantity', '1', 'post');
$total = $quantity * $price;
?>
. . .
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="<?php echo $total; ?>">
. . .
