Question

PayPal advice sought

Hello

I'd be very grateful for any advice from experienced people as I'm overwhelmed by the various e-commerce options and documentation out there. Our client wants:

- a dynamic events section on their website, where they can add new events via a CMS - we've built this using ASP and a MS SQL database

- the ability for users to register online and then pay the event registration fee using PayPal

- the payment pages should be integrated into the look & feel of the website, not go to separately branded PayPal pages

They have set up a PayPal "Website Payments Pro" [UK] account and have an Actinic Express shopping cart, but I'm not entirely sure if these are the right things. (Also though it's easy to set up the shopping cart manually by adding event details, I'm not sure if it can be integrated into the site's dynamic events section.)

Grateful if anyone who understands this can advise the best combination of things I need to do.

Thanks in advance if you can help.

OK, apologies - let me rephrase my saying what I'd like, in an ideal world:

- the ability to post a new event (conference, seminar etc.) on my website
- the website will dynamically list all upcoming events, getting the data from a database
- users can register for any conference or seminar online using a form which is dynamically created from the database
- they can pay their event registration fee online using a credit card (via PayPal)
- the payment pages should be blended into the look & feel of the main website

Hope that puts it better and grateful if anyone can advise! Basically looking for someone to recommend the right combination of Paypal facility, shopping cart (if needed), or in an ideal world a tutorial...

Thanks

You might want to reask the question(s). I found it a little difficult
to follow.
