[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Paypal Link

[Bill Erickson]

Hi Scott,

We're using PayPal's "Hosted Pages":
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/payflow/gs_ppa_hosted_pages/

PP has a dizzying array of options, so I don't know if it's similar to
Payflow Link.  The gist is the patron is sent to a PayPal page to enter
their credit card info.  This of course keeps the card data away from EG.

The code is sharable if there's interest, but it would require some cleanup
to get it working with stock EG, particularly with respect to TPAC template
integration.
