Hi again all. I have seen several forum posts about using paypal for ecommerce types things within an app but not much info on if it will work and how. My issue is I have a friend who is a personal trainer and wants me to build an app for him. He wants to be able for customers to pay their monthly fee through the app.

Just set it up via an html doc. Cheers, Miguel

You mean link a button to the page to link to the paypal url? I thought I seen this in the forum. I will read up more on this. Thank you.

Yes, I mean, create a html page, that has a paypal button (paypal helps you create a paypal button). Bare in mind, that if it's an IOS app, apple will not allow any payments, that could be made with them. In your case, I think it will be ok.

Great I will give it a shot. Thank you.

Here's the issue with getting approved with Apple: You can not have the PayPal function going on in your app. It MUST be done outside the app. So... You can have a link to pay with PayPal only if it opens in a new mobile Safari browser window. You'll be good then. Source: I have a PayPal Donate menu item in one of my approved Buzztouch Apple apps that works this way (I link to PayPal from a menu item).

So basically using the custom url plugin?

Use the "Launch Native App" screen. You can set the specific URL you need in there.

Awesome thank you.

I was actually looking into some other integration solutions as well. Maybe this will help http://bit.ly/16s7iDs
