We used PayPal for one of our small projects. I had a ticket(s) to sell to
an event. The user filled out info on a form and when they submitted that
form, it wrote the info to our DB. The next page had a link to pay online
via PayPal. They clicked that and did their thing on PP and the final
confirmation link went back to our site with a hidden field which contained
the userid originally inserted into my table AND passed on to PP. Their
record was updated with a PAID status and we just went to PP and checked on
the order details.
Sort of a cheesy way to handle it, really, but it worked.

Ideally, one would write a python program to handle the auto-confirmation
coming back in from PayPal. I inquired about this a while back and did not
have the knowledge to do  it myself.  Seems like a Python wizard could whip
this out in a few minutes...

Its all on the PP website as to how to handle this transaction. Seems like
it would be a GREAT thing to have as a Zope product in the form of Python
External methods.

Anyone else?

I'd like to help, but...
Untill now I don't know how to do that. Simply, because 
I'm not far enough in the development of my website.
To begin with I'd better learn Zope a little bit better. :-) 
Before starting with these kind of advanced features for the site.

But, I've heard about PayPal! (See: http://www.paypal.com)
It can be used for online payments, so for donations too.
This is what I was thinking of for my site.

I haven't searched into this more deeply, because I didn't need 
it immediately. But (again), since you are interested too (and seem 
to need this information now) I'll post some questions to the list:

1. Does anybody have experience with PayPal?
   If so: Was it any good? Why or why not?
2. Do credit card companies have a standard module or program to 
   have online payments on your website?
3. Is there a way to let people fill out a online 'authorization form'?
   I don't know the correct term for this in English. What I mean is 
   that someone gives you the right to let you withdraw a certain amount 
   from his/her bankaccount. This might be only once or regularly (say 
   once a month) depending on what this person filled out on that 
   'authorization form'.
4. It there a *** preferred ;-) *** product available for Zope?
5. Any other (better) ideas/experiences for online payments?

Best regards,

Yvon Breuer
