Order form program .. c++ ?

Hey all!

I finally found a work-around to rebuilding an entirely new site on some ecommerce server, something I've been dreading for weeks. I can keep my existing order form and website and PayPal shopping cart/checkout as long as I can get a programmer to modify the existing PayPal code.

Yes, PayPal's code can be modified; I've been doing it for a few years now but this particular project is beyond my knowledge base.

So what I need is a program that will calculate a total dollar amount for the order from the amount of products a customer enters into the order form times the price each.

According to their developer, all of the logic needs to be performed on my website and the total "sent to" PayPal, whatever that means.

Right now I have my bookmarks set up to sell per "set" because PayPal's system works on a one product = one price basis.

So the program needs to do the calculations and then "send" PayPal the final total. In other words, if a customer orders 10 bookmarks and they're priced at $1.95 each, this gets calculated out on my site and sends PayPal "10 = $10.95."

I hope I'm explaining this right. :confused:

If anyone here does this type of programming, can you let me know? And give me a quote? I'm assuming this program has to be built into the beginning of the order form and then "called' at the end to send to PayPal or whatever so they get the pricing information along with the rest of the order form.

You can see the current order form on my site:

I'm sorry if I just totally confused everyone. I only took one semester of C++ and I about had a nervous breakdown just getting through it!! :rolleyes:

Note: Yes, I went to fiverr but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. i.e., is this a C # or C++ program or something totally different, right?

Thanks!!

  • Your problem is that you believe this to be true. It's not. You can send whatever price you want.

    You don't need to write something in an alternative programming language.
  • Hello ksmusselman,

    I think i know how to help you out with paypal stuff.

    As far as i understood, please correct me if i am wrong, you want your order form to calculate every thing. The cart needs to be integrated within your website (instead of going to paypal) and then you need to send a total amount to paypal only.

    I think i can do that, if you are still interested, please let me know.

    Thanks

    • Just wondering what you need is simple addition program, Just need to collect all data order then sent it to paypal.
      My suggestion is, just looking for some free javascript out there to do "addition program", you could google it.
      Or maybe you would like to change it from your own sites, make the program as "memory" of order, then make completion of order as the main payment system.
      For C# or C++, I learn about it too, but i think it's quite too far away from your expectation.

  • Hello ksmusselman,

    You might want to take a look at ubercart.org then. Should be just as easy or easier than ZenCart and the like.

    • Thanks Earnie!

      Figures I see this post right after installing Zen Cart on all three of my stores first. ROFL

      The cool thing with Zen Cart is I was able to install from right within my GoDaddy Applications so I didn't need to download any files and stuff.

      I'll see how it goes...
  • As usual Earnie is the man. Ubercart is the most simple and effective!
