I have some problems surrounding integrating my V4.5.3 DNN site with 3rd party payment providers (specifically Protx and Pay Pal using the "Buy It Now" single purchase button).  This is something that I imagine lots of people have already done with the greatest of ease!

My first issue was that to integrate with Protx I need to place a form on my DNN page and then submit that to POST the key information.  Since DNN already wraps everything in a <form> tag I decided to place this payment submission form on a seperate aspx page within my site and redirect to that from DNN so that it can happily POST on to the 3rd party payment provider.  This works fine.

The issue I am now hitting however is that when the user returns from their successful/failed payment operation they're challenged to log back on again and I really wanted them to  remain logged in so that I could fire some code to update some tables in my DNN database with the outcome of the payment attempt.

I don't want to use the DNN store since I have my own business rules for what's being sold and the price so can anyone walk me through or point me at some suitable documentation for 3rd PPP integration with DNN?

With thanks,

Kevin

Many thanks for the info and the link, I will try the PortalID - my issue however is that I am redirecting from a page on DNN to a self-contained ASPX page (still on the DNN site and registered as part of the control in the .dnn file of that bespoke module) but which does not inherit any of the base DNN classes which I imagine I might need to keep the user logged in.

Maybe I will consider rewriting along the lines you suggest to fire my post from within a DNN page, but that still leaves the issue of whether they will be logged in when they get back - are you saying that adding the PortalID to the URL used to return then should also keep them logged in?

Sorry if this all seems a bit confused, I've been working around the DNN form issue and so have a slightly odd set up with a DNN page redirectingt to an ASPX page (still on the DNN site) which does a post on to the 3rdPPP and the return URL is another ASPX page on my DNN site with a link back to the DNN home.

Many thanks again, adding the portal ID to the querystring was exactly what I needed to do and has resolved my issue.
