Static website integration

[samtuke]

Would payments (specifically recurring payments) work if the PayPal button was hosted on a static page, the callback URL was the only scripted page, and that page instantiated a new PayPal_Subscription{} object and called start_subscription() upon it?

e.g. /donate.html -> PayPal.com -> /process.php -> thank-you.html

Think of the paypal button on a site generated by Jekyll or Pelican.

Thanks!

It would be possible if you have another script to handle checkout, like this example which uses this script.

The reason being that to initiate the checkout, you need to have a checkout token. This doc might help: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/express-checkout/digital-goods/IntroducingExpressCheckoutDG/
