help with paypal api

[killfrog47]

Hello my friends! So I have a project involving PayPal cart and check out. I have looked over the api for PayPal but its still a little confusing to me. The paypals documentation is what is confusing me. Does anyone know where I can go that would explain things a little better? I'm coding in PHP that's why I posted here

Hi there,

First things first: make sure you have a PayPal business account! You need it if you want to get pingbacks from PayPal after a successful action.

I found a little online tutorial from SmashingMagazine, it explains how to setup the main class and connect to the API. It also goes over some basic methods (eg the express checkout).

I think PHPAcademy made a tutorial on how to create a "Premium" service through paypal. It covered most of what you need.
