so i want to make a website where i'm going to sell a specific software and after the user completes the paypal checkout he is going to be redirected to the download page. My question is how do i make that page accessible only after the checkout? If you generaly have a better way to successfuly deliver the software is welcome.
You can use PayPal Auto Return feature to reach this requirement. Please refer to the link below for the details.

I have a button that redirects to a paypal payment on my website. i want to do that only if you bought the thing im selling it will redirect to the download page and you can't access it just by typing the url of the download page, how i can do it? i couln't find anything about it on google
You need some type of access control system for your website or the content you distribute, which PayPal itself doesn't provide (it only processes the payment)
If you are not a programmer who can program an access control system on your own site, then you can either hire a developer to do it or find a third party solution that has this functionality. Going to the PayPal Partner Directory and searching for the keyword "download" may be a good place to start, and a general web search for what features meet your needs is another place to look.
So currently im coding a bot and in that bot you can buy several other bots and features and i wanted to ask how that works when someone for example clicks my link for paypal and after he pays he will get redirected to the specific bots invite link. Does that even work?
When using a link/HTML-only PayPal integration (no API), a return is never guaranteed. PayPal may be obligated to show them a receipt, and they may not click to return, or their browser/user agent may crash or window closed. So, this is a bad option.
What you should do instead is create a website with a PayPal Checkout that integrates via an API. If you have a backend you can do a server-side integration, otherwise you'll have to rely on client-side JS. Here's a simple demo of the latter: https://developer.paypal.com/demo/checkout/#/pattern/client
Hi I have searched for this solution and although others have experienced the same problem I couldn't find a solution that works for my site.
My wordpress site mainly sells registrations/bookings for events and I'm using the s2Memberplugin to process the payments with Paypal. The problem is that when we direct the users/customers to the paypal page to complete the transaction which i want set up with the option of paying via credit/debit card if the user/customer doesn’t have (or doesn’t want to create one) a paypal account. That has been working perfectly except for when users/customers are using a variety of internet browser with various cookie settings so the user/customer get’s directed to a completely different page both in appearance and functionality from the page I want them to see. This incorrect page ‘requires’ users/customers to have or create a paypal account to make the payment, no option to pay via card is available. I tried calling paypal and of course they say it is something wrong with my site.
Over 20 days ago i lodged a support ticket with Paypal MTS (or whatever they are called) and of course no response. I have lodged about 5 more tickets and made about 10 more phone calls and they simply don't care about customers. That is clearly demonstrated when you ask to speak to the complaints section and they say "We don't have a complaints section'
Thanks very much, any assistance is greatly appreciated
I haven't been provided with any error codes, unfortunately - i did ask for them but nobody supplied them.
we just discovered that the payflow and IPN settings within my sites plugin were empty but i'm filling them in now but i have two questions:
The vendor, is that just my username for my paypal account? (why don't they just use the same terminology - confusing)
My s2Member plugin say's i'll need my IPN url (and then supplies a url, but whn i look at the IPN notification url within my paypal settings it's a totally different link. Should i be changing my paypal IPN url to that which is supplied by my s2Member plugin or am i getting two different url's confused?
Thanks for your help again mate.
If you're using Payments Standard this experience is cookie based as you mentioned. If you want to make sure the full credit card form shows up and allows people to pay with a credit card without creating an account you can use the Express Checkout API instead.
In your SetExpressCheckout request you just need to set SOLUTION=Sole and LANDINGPAGE=Billing.
I'm looking for a hosted payment solution that can be made to work almost the same as a seamless payment solution, but I want hosted so I don't need to deal with the PCI compliance requirements.
I am currently using PayPal Website Payments Pro with the iFrame integration, its ok, but the problem is PayPal keeps pushing payments via 'PayPal' and you are unable to remove their stupid 'Pay with PayPal' button from the iFrame. Also there is no ability to customise the look of the content in the iFrame.
I came across CRE Secure's solution which was very clever: http://www.cresecure.com/pages.php?CDpath=3_63&osCsid=eam649uio10ug8igep1kgljgg0, however, they don't support AUD currency.
I would still prefer to use PayPal as my merchant gateway since it saves a lot of money from having a gateway + merchant bank account. For example the CRE Secure solution still hooks up the PayPal Website Payments Pro.
What solutions are there that allows me to have more ability to customise the content in the iFrame and doesn't have any branding of the payment provider, e.g. PayPal etc.
I know that Authorize.Net is one of the more popular services that offers these services.

Take a look at our product. We offer a fully hosted solution that you can embed on your site (although not recommended). We also offer a feature called Recurly.js (js.recurly.com) that you can fully embed on your site and own the experience, while still maintaining minimal PCI requirements. You can continue using PayPal as your gateway with our solution.
To keep this answer from being total spam (!), I'll also advise you to take a look at Samurai by Fee Fighters and Chargify. Let me know if you have questions, I'm happy to help :)
This is more a comment than an answer but I don't have the rep to comment.
Just found this is the docs
"This template also offers the following options:
Remove the Pay with PayPal button. Although the form offers the option to pay using
PayPal account by default, you can contact your account manager or customer support to
turn this option off."
So it seems you can remove the paypal button. Can anyone comment as to whether existing paypal customers will be able to use this gateway?
I want to integrate paypal in my website. But my requirement is, I dont want my customers to go into paypal site for payment. (I know it is not a secure way, but it is my requirements) Is there a way such that I can do credit card checks in backend using paypal APIs ? If so, which method to be used? I want it for "singapore" country and SGD as currency.
Waiting for your suggestions!!!
Thanks in advance. :)
Are you trying to avoid your users having to navigate to PayPal or are you trying to 'hide' the use of PayPal?
The prior should be easy enough to resolve. PayPay provide several tools (and instructions) on how to build a "Pay Now" button, which you can manipulate server side to include a dynamic amount and order ID etc. This would forward the user to a PayPal page to login and confirm payment, then return them to your site (any page you specify) on completion. You can also link this to an IPN. The PayPal payment page can be skinned / branded to an extent.
What you are looking is called Direct Payment. Here is more info about it:
