Here's a pretty simple example of how to use Paypal with Pixelpost. You can see an example implementation at:
http://www.jasondunsmore.com/blog/

(I would've posted this in the "Pixelpost 101" forum, but I don't have permissions.)

you don't have the permission to post to pixelpost 101 forum? ummm strange.... contact blinking8s

btw, you may add the instructions to Pixelpost wiki . www.raminia.com/ppwiki

good guide. something we've been asked about a few times before.

[blinking8s+]

moved to 101, its locked because people werre posting too many new quetions way back when, so moderators can move posts there when howto's are posted ect...

very cool writeup, thanks a lot

[raminia+]

please add your instruactions here

Are these instructions posted anywhere else? Or does anyone else have their own instructions? This is something I'm looking at doing, and having a nice tutorial would be great. The original link won't let me read, and even the implementation link is dead.

If I remember correctly there were two addons:

I can see the pixelpost links, but I cannot view this one:

It says I do not have the right permissions...I was not invited to view it?

I tried exactly what you typed in here, but it doesn't work. I get everything working fine, but when it redirects me to Paypal, I get the same error (some required information... etc). I have the paypal addon installed... am I missing something?
Thanks,
Titus
