Hi Nicolaas, Thanks for all the great work and advice with SS. We are beginning to develop some really dynamic sites on this platform. This post is the most relevant to our needs now... in the states, most small to midsize businesses utilize paypal opposed to other costly merch ant services. So, we are about to follow your lead with the code posted... have there been any updates or developments to paypal integration since your last post in March which asked for a code review. Wondering if you or anyone in the community have had continued success or have needed/added any tweaks.
Thanks in advance. Also, if you are ever searching for design/dev work, please contact me, all of the team that works with me are freelance.

Hi All
Hope this helps
Yes we have implemented the paypal plugin successfully into Silverstripe
First of all download the paypal.rar file from here http://open.silverstripe.com/ticket/1760
Copy PayPalPayment.php from the archive to [yoursite]/ecommerce/code
Open up this file and set self::$payPalRealAccount to the paypal email address of the merchant account
Copy PaypalPaymentPage.ss to [yoursite]/ecommerce/templates/Includes
Go to your _config.php file for your site....usually located under the mysite folder and add the following code to it
// Define which payment methods your site uses.
Payment::set_supported_methods(array(
'ChequePayment' => 'Cheque',
'PayPalPayment' => 'Credit Card'
));
If you aren't going to accept offline payments then remove the chequepayment line
Finally run db/build?flush=1 and that should be it

we've got a paypal class in ecommerce trunk that romain currently works on.
looks like its a mod of nicolaas' class, not sure what the story behind that is - but have a look at:
http://open.silverstripe.com/browser/modules/ecommerce/trunk/code/payments/PayPalPayment.php
i've asked romain to have a look at this thread as well.

We were able to successfully integrate the PayPal code for the eCommerce module. The help Nicolass provided on this thread as well as the links were right on track. I think the only think left is a quick fix for a "View My Cart" button on each preliminary product without having to click through to that product page. Easy enough. You can take a look at our client's site/store/checkout on our server at http://www.ucfi.designbstudios.com... we are still in beta, but it is fully operation besides all of the content. Thanks again to all, great instruction Nicolass... saved us from going to a third party solution.

in your steps you mention to...
Copy PayPalPayment.php from the archive to [yoursite]/ecommerce/code
Open up this file and set self::$payPalRealAccount to the paypal email address of the merchant account
is this where I'm suppose to make the changes
[ code]
protected static $payPalRealAccount; static function setPayPalRealAccount($payPalRealAccount) { self::$payPalRealAccount = [ b]$payPalRealAccount;[ /b] }
[ /code]
is this how it should be...
[ code]
protected static $payPalRealAccount; static function setPayPalRealAccount($payPalRealAccount) { self::$payPalRealAccount = [ b]MY EMAIL ADDRESS GOES HERE;[ /b] }
[ /code]
is this the only place I need to change the code?

The idea is that the class are not altered and that you create configuration in the /ecommerce/_config.php file using something like
{name of class here}::setAccount($yourPPEmailHere);
where setAccount is the static function in the class
e.g. class could contain something like:
class {
static function setAccount($name) {
}
}
