Best way to do an online order form?

Hey there, I am making an app to buy flowers from. It shows a bunch of different flower arrangements from a company. When you click on one I want it to open an order form screen to fill out credit card and other info like on their website. I feel like the best way to go about it is to just load that page from a URL inside the app. What's the best plug in to use for this? And do you think this is my best option. Thanks, Max

Paypal creates buttons for you which includes HTML. This is the easiest way I've found so far.

Thank you bandO, How do I go about implementing this on a page? Where do I get it from? Are there services other than PayPal? The company uses a different third party one to handle the transactions on the website. Do these sorts of campanies usually have implementations for mobile like you're talking about? Thanks, Max

Hi mjharris yes you can use Paypal buttons HTML code. https://www.paypal.com/home or http://www.jotform.com/ Use custom HTML screen Sample HTML document formatted for mobile devices Copy and paste this HTML to use as a starting point for your own creations. Hint: set user-scalable to 1 to allow pinching and zooming. ________________________________________ <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=320"; initial-scale="1.0"; user-scalable="1";/> <title>my custom html</title> </head> <body> <p>This is text inside a paragraph or HTML ...</p> </body> </html>

Cant speak for the others, I only use Paypal cause I have subscriptions. If you have a cart already just using custom URL should be enough for your needs.
