Did you go to the PayPal forum before you came here? The reason why I ask because it's their product.

Read this:

https://www.paypal-community.com/t5/How-to-use-PayPal-Archive/HTML-to-connect-Website-to-PayPal-Account/td-p/40800

I think you need to understand something, anything that is related to integrate shopping cart or any payment plan will most likely not be answer because you are getting pay to do that and it's unfair for the rest of Daniweb members not getting the fair share. There's no free lunch!
