Hi Guys,

Im wanting to find out if some one could help me out with something im having some problems with, iv looked everywhere but im not a coder and dont really know the ins and outs so really dont know what to do next..

The problem:
i have a website that sells codes/vouchers and at the moment everytime some one buys i need to check my paypal for payment i.d and go to a folder on my laptop where i have all the different codes/vouchers saved (i buy these in bulk once per month) and grab one and send it by email then delete the code/voucher iv just used as i can only use one code at a time and at the minute i sell 20-30 of these per day and its starting to become a real pain because traffic is growing and im just about to hit page one for quite a few different keywords with a lot of search volume so orders will go through the roof and i wont be able to cope with the sales... so im looking for a way how i can automate all of this quickly and easily.. but like i said i really dont know where to look and what to do so hopefully some one can advise on what i need to do to get this website run more automated and smoothly..

anyways i hope all this made sense and hopefully some one can help me out
thanks

    That's pretty straight forward to sort. We use the PayPal IPN to check sales and then deliver the goods. Drop me a pm and I'll help you out.

    paypal IPN is the answer..
    or / and paypal express checkout api.

    There are various ready available products for this available also. For full automatization you will also need a db on your end with the codes you sell.

    If you need help you can PM me. I also basically sell 'codes' (in my case usernames + pw's from a database) at unlocksamsungonline.com for use with our software and wrote my own complete system for selling such things.

    For those searching in the future, you can put this entire thing on autopilot by placing all your vouchers in a database. Your site will display them, their information, and generate a paypal button (or checkout) all from your database.

    When the buy, an IPN will be generated by PayPal that calls a script on your site which operates to delete the purchased voucher.

    It should be 4 hours work to get the IPN working with a custom script, about $200 - $250. Paypal has documentation on this, so you could ideally do it for free, but their documentation (and API) really suck right now. So it's worth it to get someone who's done PayPal IPN work before.
