I am fairly new to wordpress and I am looking after a running site ad they would like to add on a form that people can :
1: Buy a club membership for the year
2: Online enter a race
My question is if i set up my form and attach the paypal button how do i best get the data that has been entered and also link it with a paypal payment. Finally is paypal the best medium for this or are there better out there?
With the PayPal Add-On the form entries and the processing to PayPal is tightly integrated. What you do is setup your form how you like it, then create a PayPal feed (that uses an IPN from your account) and when the user hits submit they will be redirected to PayPal with their information mapped over where they complete payment. You can also setup form entry notifications to not come through until payment has been confirmed. It works really well.
There is an Authorize.net Add-On in beta at the moment as well.
Awesome, we're here to assist along the way if you need it as well. As far as Google Checkout is concerned there has been talks about it, but nothing in the works yet as the Authorize.net add-on has the priority at the moment.
@amydpnw sounds like you were able to work around your issue here:
