Hey guys/gals, im sure this has been answered a few times but i need your help with something with a little more detail.

For the past few days ive been trying to use the paypal ways of doing this. So:

Creating a add to cart button and then it adds it to PayPals shopping cart and then check out which is fine. The only problem is, at the end of this, i want the shopping cart to ask for percific details such as:

Full Name
Address
Email
Domain to be set up with account

etc
etc.

With Paypal i do not have ALL these options.

I dont want to go through the fuss of recoding everything on my site, but what i want to do is have a add to cart button on the product and then it will take me to a different section on the site where its just a shopping cart (script) and then gives me the option to select which merchant i would like to use.

So something very similar to Paypals method but right at the end, it asks for more details that i can choose and also be compatiable with different merchants such as Google checkout and Paypal

I hope i made sense and you guys can help me.

Best,
Nathaniel

Try oscommerce.

For an even simpler option than oscommerce, look at Agora cart. It is a free perl script that's damn easy to customize.

You can get Paypal to send data back to your site, with API's.

OR
You simply change the "Pay Now" button on the basket page to link to a new page, then on the new page get the user to fiill in their name, address etc then supply the Paypal pay now button.

Hey Guys, Thanks for all your support. I have now setup my cart. The cart i used was Agora. Really is great. Might consider buying the pro version of it for a one off 50bucks.

See my cart below (sig)
