Hello ppl,
The last couple of weeks I have been trying to get head around Paypal and find out how I can use it for my site. I am a completely newbie in this field and after reading lots of documentation and forum posts in the Paypal site I have come to a dead end concerning some things.
I thought to create a topic here and see if anyone is using Paypal for the site. What I am after is the PPEnrypt application, used to create customised encrypted buttons, in an executable format. I have been searching for it but all I could find is the source files which unfortunately I cannot compile.
Any help appreciated!

Not sure if I understand your question but to intgerate PayPal on your site basically all you need is some lines of codes... here is how I have it setup on one of my web pages and people have no problem making their payments with it:
<form action=" https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr - https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr " method="post" target="_self">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
You also need an account with paypal.
<input type="hidden" name="business" value= mailto:myemail@provider.com - myemail@provider.com >
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="make a payment for lostcontrol">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="2000">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0">
</form>

Hello Info_tech,
Thats is correct. The problem with this though is that the form is not encrypted. Which leaves your account open to fraud attempts as someone can change the values and perform the transaction.
What I am after is using Encrypted Website Payments. Currently, Paypal provides a feature where encrypted buttons are created through your account profile. The problem with this is that you cannot include custom values in the form that is beeing encrypted through this feature.
The only way to do it is by encrypting the form yourself before placing the code on the website.
See: http://paypaltech.com/content/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=5&limit=1&limitstart=0
Paypal provides the source code for an application which can do the job. My problem is that I cannot compile this application to an executable to encrypt my forms. I have been looking all over the place but with no luck.
So, I was hoping someone used this before and has the executable application to provide.
Thanks for your reply!

Best way is to call PayPal. They listen and are helpful. I called once and told them that I need to include a nick name field that my chat users can fill out when they make a payment so I know where the payment is coming from. They have it available now... so give them a call and see if they can do something.
