Godaddy website builder paypal button allowed?

BlurryBit said:

I dunno, I don’t use that thing.. but, check if the builder allows you to have a form element (and it’s usual children like input, textarea and button). If it does, there is no reason why you can’t have a paypal checkout option. At it’s core, it is just a form submit (called paypal classic form most probably. Google it.).


It does depend on what you are trying to achieve though. Payment gateway integration isn’t the easiest thing to do. Perhaps learn how it is done and do it the real way (e.g. write your own code).

payment process is not so hard, the paypal button in my example here, when you click on it , it goes to the paypal website where you make the payment not on your own website.

What if I checked out with 0.01$ instead of the product price. How would you verify it automatically? Coz I can always modify the form.

I never heard of this, I will offer premium price services (not with godaddy hosting) coaching retainer.
So I have two plans on my website (with wordpress) one plan with 6 monthy paying in advabnce, the other 12 months with discount

The client clicks on one plan then goes straight to paypal and make the payment I see this on all websites with paypal payment, shops, webhositng providers , domain registrars and much more...can not be hard to integrate this ?

It is not hard. But you need to know what you are doing.


You got 10% of the things right already, so don’t worry.

All you have to do is have a “check” in your backend and verify of the transaction was successful, and the amount matches the product price.


Even if you verified this during the “return to shop” phase, it is not enough (and you certainly cannot do it with frontend javascript. You need a backend, which the form builder cannot give you), because the whole request could have been forged. You can’t be so sure.

There is a concept called webhooks. Read more about it.

So basically what happens is when a payment goes through (or failes.. or the user cancels), paypal notifies your chosen url (called a webhook). Your backend then decides what to do with that info.
