Hi, I have purchased the paypal website payments pro package, and downloaded the SDK libraries that I am supposed to use to process transactions. (I am using asp.net 2.0). However, I was told that we cannot install this SDK on these servers, so does this mean that we can only use the name-value pair API that paypal provides. i'm slightly confused. If anyone has done this with a ASP.NET project (preferably 2.0), PLEASE let me know how i can get started or send me sample code. Thanks!
You should be able to use Paypal's SOAP interface. There's nothing preventing your website from making a web reference call to Paypal's API. The best source I've found for getting started is Paypal's developer forum: http://www.pdncommunity.com/pdn/board?board.id=api Paypal gives you 2 options for credentials; signature or certificate. I recommend using the API signature instead of a certificate, so you don't have to deal with installing certificates on the server. Aristotle DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
great, thanks for your help. I think i'll be able to figure this out eventually. My main problem was that the SDK samples needed VS 2003 and asp.net 1.1 I only have VS 2005 and 2.0 and didn't feel like dealing with installing all that just to look at a sample app. Thanks again.
