PalPal Invoicing

[david rushton]

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone had experience of PayPal invoicing. I have a client that wants to send PayPal invoices to his client. This seems pretty straight forward from the PayPal website, but he wants his clients to be able to come to his website to pay the invoice, rather than go to the PayPal website to pay the invoice.

Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how?

Thanks
David

I think im right in saying that all transactions have to go through paypal as they are the merchants in this case.

Does he want to offer different payment methods and just use paypal to issue the invoices then?

Hi Kabby,
Yes he wants to be able to easily receive debit/credit card payments. He is willing to use PayPal to send the invoices, but wants people to go his website to pay them.

Thanks

Its not possible when you issue a invoice using paypal the payment has to be made through paypal.

Can he not just use something else to create the invoices.

I'll have to convince him to use another method, or we shall just put a link to PayPal website from his website, so they can click straight through.

Thanks for your help

We've been using paypal for almost 3 years now and you have to go to their website for payment. Even with debit/credit card it is still processed through paypal - laserpics.co.uk

It is possible to manage invoices and their payment on a website.

In practice Paypal will be behind the whole thing but it does not have to be visible or it will only become visible for a small part of the payment process. You can certainly keep all the payment/customer/invoice management on your website. But for this you cannot use the typical Paypal URL-redirection method. You'd have to go into web services, xml, etc.

I think the pro version is the one that an be invisible
