Post subject:  how do you code PayPal transactions?
Hi everybody,

Is there anybody who could please show me how to code a PayPal button to sell a special (i.e., secret) link to a downloadable file? I want to put it on my Wordpress site, and I have tried using the code from Merchant Services in PayPal, but it just shows the source code in the webpage - not the button.

Basically, I would like to automate the process of selling my songs online, but while I can write music, I can`t write code! My goal is that the user pays his or her 99 cents by PayPal, and they are automatically shown where to get their music.

Thanks in advance!

Have you considered Bandcamp?

As I recall, Jordus coded ours. PM him for details.

Thanks a lot for your responses!

In the end, I decided to go with Bandcamp. I had feared it would be just like certain other sites that have complicated rules and painfully frustrating interfaces, but I am bowled over by its cleanness and ease of use.

You can hear my two current releases in glorious lossless form on http://www.tammyjones.bandcamp.com (I am very happy that I got the web address in my name, too, because it`s not exactly a rare and unusual one that goes unsnapped up for very long).

Now that I have published my address, I will assume anybody who is interested in my music will know where to find it. No spamming from me!

Go and enjoy the music, and go!
