Hi there, I have an eCommerce site that currently uses WorldPay to
process payments. I wish to switch it to Paypal.

PayPal now allows people to pay WITHOUT signing up as a member. I beleive you
can also turn off the shipping address item by default (our service
needs no shipping).

What I need is to determine the new settings for my BUY page to use on PayPal.

Assume the following:
1. I will make a script to handle the return page when buyer has made a 
successful purchase.
2. I will need to include certain pass-through variables (which are in the 
form below) - so my return script can make the right determiniations.
3. I will be using PERL cgi to write the return form-handler  script

What I need:
1. The correct modifications to the following form:
<form action="https://www.oldprovider.com/purchase" method=POST>
<input type=hidden name="instId" value="my_paypal_account_ID">
<input type=hidden name="cartId" value="Product_record_number">
<input type=hidden name="prod_type" value="Product_type">
<input type=hidden name="amount" value="Product_price">
<input type=hidden name="desc" value="Product_Description">
<input type="hidden" name="Duration" value="Product_Service_Duration">
<input type=hidden name="currency" value="USD">
<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME="pass" VALUE="Customer_Password">  
<input type=hidden name="email" value="Customer_Email_Address">
<input type="submit" value="Purchase this Service">
</form>

2. The Variable names can change (if necessary) I have indicated what the
Value would be for each Variable.

3. I need all these variables to passthrough to my return script.

4. I want the PayPal form to be as simple as allowable:
  - no signup button
  - no shipping address field
  - no shipping option
  - it has to be setup for IMMEDIATE payment only (no transfer delays)

5. I may need help to wrap up the process and test it - so I would like to
be able to contact you for follow up.

I hope that $100 is worth it for you.
