I set up paypal's IPN on my website and it works great! I now would like to know how to use adaptive payments (chained payment) so that once I receive an IPN from Paypal I will then be able to go to a different page and setup the chain payment to take my cut, pay seller 1, and sales person 1.

What I have tried:

I have tried looking up documentation for how to set up these payments but everything that I found has been in .net C#. I think I downloaded the correct libraries and set up my API account from paypal but I don't know how to communicate with their server.

Never, ever, accept code from a insecure website to handle anything to do with real money.
You do not know who is giving you the code, you do not know what it does, you do not know that it places the monies correctly into the appropriate account, without passing the details to any third parties.

Only get such code from Paypal themselves - the scope for fraud otherwise is far too large. And remember, you personally could be liable for any monies lost if your action is seen to be negligent - which getting your code from a public forum would most certainly be!

Talk to them: they are normally pretty helpful!

I am mainly just trying to figure out what variables to create(/how) so I can communicate with paypal. I currently have a ticket open with them but haven't gotten an answer yet so I thought I would try elsewhere. Thanks for the info :D and I will definitely keep that in mind when getting information
