Anyone with experience with Paypal API?

I'm currently working on the PHP side of the VIP system for my gaming servers and I was wondering if anyone has experience with using things like paypal IPN or similar and would be willing to explain it somewhat. I found the API itself somewhat confusing.

its not that confusing =]

go to here:
https://cms.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/?cmd=_render-content&content_ID=developer/howto_html_landing
set up a button, and you can set a cancel recall page, and set a Finnish page.. And that it. (payment button)

If you are experienced with CURL you can code a class yourself to do this but when I did the other year I used a class. Not this one but similar to: http://www.micahcarrick.com/php-paypal-ipn-integration-class.html

Just look at the examples and you should be fine.

I'm trying to create an automated system, just using a finish page isn't secure because you can find it in the html of the page, I need to use IPN to verify the payment.

Thanks, I'll take a look at this at the weekend.

+rep to both of you.
