not sure if this is the correct forum but it seems as good as any other:

i have been asked to build a site for a small local business thats sells cut crystal and they want to sell online, they say they want to use paypal to make transactions but i am clueless to how this will work with the pages i make - for example, if i make a page of 12 items in dreamwever (lets call it cut crystal in the shape of buildings) how do i connect this up to paypal? is it possible to do it this way?

I mean, its very important that people should be able to actually see what they are buying (hence the site in dreamweaver with the photos) am i making sense?

posted this on many forums over the last two months but no one seems to know how to do this and some say it is not possible so I come to you people for help.

Thank you

Be sure to also check out IPN - Instant Payment Notification. Very useful - it can automate the process a lot.

thanks guys. I thought it would be possible, I just need to work out how to conect it all to the pages I have made in dreamweaver.
