When the user pays, paypal redirects some internal headers back to your server, sending back some info. The transaction ID, amount paid, email use, name and address etc are all stored into the directory database row that i mentioned before.

If they dont pay you can email them a direct paypal link, or a link to that page on your directory where the payment button is generated.

Does that make it any clearer?
Yes thanks Mike, every little bit helps, finding a suitable payment process has proven tough at best.

have ordered a new payment application that may solve the problem but still will utilise the paypal subscribe options.

Thanks
