Redirect Submit Button to paypal

7 years 1 month ago #22986 by tjones64
Hi,

Is there a way to redirect the submit button to my paypal button code directly after they submit the form?

If so, where do I put my code and do I need to alter the <form action> code?

Dear tjones64,

Contact Enhanced has no option to integrate with PayPal out of the box, however if you have some PHP knowledge and use Contact Enhanced PRO you can use the Contact Enhanced Custom Code plugin in order to implement a PayPal integration.

If you are interested I can quote a customization for you. Just send an email to us using the Support -> Contact Form.

Best regards,

Hi Douglas

Can I ask, what is the reason you haven't developed a paypal extension for contact enhanced?
In my opinion, having used all the Joomla forms software, contact enhanced is by far the best but sometimes we are forced to use another form component when we need to add paypal to a form. We have php developers that can integrate paypal easily into CE but for ease of use / speed / stability and upgradability we often use another component. I for one would love to see a paypal extension for CE. What are your thoughts on this?
regards

Dear canberraweb,

Which features would you like the PayPal integration to have? A simple redirect to PayPal OR do you need IPN support?

Best regards,

Hi Douglas
Thanks for the quick reply. A simple redirect to PayPal would be fine for most situations.
Maybe IPN support might be good for your other customers but to be honest most of our customers don't bother with it.
thanks
Elliot

Dear Elliot,

I've been thinking about this plugin and how it would work and what would be all the implications/changes to Contact Enhanced Component.

Reading the PayPal Integration Guide I noticed several options and I need to know what are your requirements:
developer.paypal.com/docs/clas...websitestandard_htmlvariables/

Do you need to discriminate the items, price for each item (product), Shipping, tax,...?

Best regards,

Hi Douglas
Thanks for looking at this.
Yes I think we probably would need that.
A typical example of how we might use contact enhanced with a payment option would be a donation form for example.
Or a simple sign up for a paid event.
So the user could select from a drop down list of prices or type them in and then the form accepts the payment for this amount via paypal.
I hope that helps
thanks
Elliot
