Just wondering if anyone has had experience setting up a products page that plugs into paypal. Is it easy? I've got a client who wants something like this.

It's very easy, the only difficult part is getting the encryption working if you're using PHP.

Most people just don't bother, but if you do that then it means people using something like the FF Web Dev toolbar can simply alter the values of the hidden form fields on the page (e.g. price) and proceed to the ordering screens.

While the merchant would still have to okay these fraudulent offers, it's still a pain in the arse.
