    How do you set up PayPal professionally....?

    I want to know if anyone here has used paypal or any other online payment system in their website. I want to know how you can sell subscriptions to paid areas on a web site. What is the means by which you can tell the difference between paid subscribers and unpaid visitors? Is it some hidden identification? Is it internet cookies?

    If you know nothing about websites and programming then you pay a professional to do it, or see if there is an opensource option available.

    Otherwsie you need to program the following:

    User login and session tracking
    Cart and product handling
    Paypal Form - see Paypal developer documentation

    Most decent CMS's that have any sort of group control (registered users, unregistered users, admin, etc) should have a method of doing this.

    +1. Seriously. In fact, +5... maybe more.

    Once you're talking about taking money off people for something, you want to be *damn sure* you know it does the right thing. So work out what you want it to do then take it to a professional, get a contract written up, have the contract checked properly, pay them some money, and it becomes their problem to make sure it does the right thing.
