  Paul,

  It seems like what you would want is a payment gateway, which would process the payment immediately.  From there I would recommend using an Observer OOP pattern to attach events to the payment transaction.

    Hi,

    Can anybody help?? I have run into a major problem, I do not understand how shopping carts work. I have tried asking technical support of the likes of PayPal, while they are all very knowledgeable businesswise, they are not PHP developers. I was told that I should check my email periodically.

    As a shopping cart newbie using PHP, I am lost. I understand it is develop myself or much the easiest and best way is to use a shopping cart, which I agree with.


      >From a merchant's point of view, here is what I want. Once payment has been 

    made and confirmed, I want a token confirming payment (payment info) to be sent to my site and then, without manual intervention, I want to dispatch a confirmation email to the customer an invoice and then the goods/services to the customer.

    Is there a way of  automatically polling for this info?? Is there a better of doing things??

    Cheers

    Paul
