i saw a component once that let you use paypal in asp, im not so much looking for that component now as trying to work out how paypal works, i set up a premium account yesterday and i have looked at the html forms for shopping carts etc but noticed a few things (which are probably fixed on the paypal site but i havnt got an answer from them yet) such as you could edit the html on someones page to change the price of an item without changing the name, and there is no http_referer check or anything, and it doesnt just send an item code and let their site calculate the price for you
also you are limited to add to basket buttons so you couldnt use a checklist or anything
anyway, these are probably fixed but is there any way to do anything with paypal in asp appart from storefront components (i have seen a few "components" around that are just a set of asp pages that are linked to a database you set up and it does it for you, which is probably pretty much for people who want that system without knowing how to code it)
in particular i want to just stop people from changing the price, but as i said this is probably already fixed on paypal somehow
ps: if this is against the rules because i would be making money out of it or anything, im sorry, its not like i want to sell someone elses work but i havnt read the rules in a couple of years :p
