While I'm no expert at ASP.NET, I do have some basic skill with it. However, I have been unable to make any headway getting paypal integrated into my site. All I want is to be able to charge a flat amount of money (shipping, shopping cart, and all that stuff are managed completely on my end).

Express checkout sounded like the closest thing to what I needed, but instead of a simple "Redirect to this site with these variables" like I expected, I was told to copy over a bunch of code files (one of which doesn't even compile), set my API name, password, and signature (I don't know what the heck they're even talking about), and a few other things, and I'm only partway through the wizard.


I can only assume that Express checkout is trying to get me to use tons of features that I don't want or even know about. Is there a very simple, basic way to simply just take a payment for a set amount and let your website do the rest?

Thanks.
