Description
Hi there,
Spent several hours looking around the issues and the lm_paypal help pages, but the documentation is absolutely confusing and has big holes.
I want to sell something on my website. After they submit a form, I want them to click a button, and have the data in the form(namely, the price to pay) sent to paypal. Can lm_paypal do this? If so, how?? I installed, it, it asks me for IPN numbers and email addresses (done, filled those areas in) but now I have no idea what to do next. I mean how do I actually make this module do its job??
So to recap.
1. Got paypal business account.
2. Filled data into lm_paypal settings
3. ???
4. Profit!
So what is step 3??
Thanks!

I have to say I'm kind of stuck in a similar situation. Although not selling a product but rather an upgraded account, there seems to be only 2 ways to implement this module.. either with the function lm_paypal_subscribe() or the un-customizable block. I DON'T want to customize the function or block because I hate hacking modules / core, I'd much rather implement my own stuff in template.php or something along those lines. Any documentation other than the help page?

lm_paypal is not a generic payment processing module. It was originally intended for a couple of specific use-cases: donations, simple paid-advertisements, and paid role membership. If you want a more complete commerce system, suggest you look at ubercart or ecommerce.
