how to integrate Paypal payment in e commerce website
codeigniter, paypal, php
Solution
The site you have shown is using Express Checkout method. You can find the documentation here https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/express-checkout/integration-guide/ECGettingStarted
There is another method the "Adaptive Payment" but this one is quite complicated. I do suggest use Express Checkout instead.

You can include user define variable in your header request for payment to PayPal then all transaction details can be received via IPN or Instant Payment Notification after successful payment. The details you need are there in this IPN. To implement IPN make sure you have followed the following requirements.
- Your IPN handler URL should be public and no authentication. This is the URL that PayPal will be called to send the IPN details.
- Your handler should have HTTP Post. You can access the IPN message through Request.Forms
