I have software embedded into my website that allows customers to create a product, obtain a price and save their quote. In the back end of this software it enables the possibility to 'send project information to a parent iFrame' e.g. a payment gateway.
The software displays a code to 'add this event to parent window to pass the pdf of the project to a parent window in blob format'
Is anyone aware of a way to achieve, or can assist with this? We have several payment gateway providers available to run this information in to
Thanks in advance
Dont know where to start on achieving this

I have product designer software in my website that currently allows customers to design a product and get a live price. The software has the ability to send a message to the parent of an iframe where the information can be processed as I like. I want this information to be sent to my sagepay, worldpay or stripe payment gateway to give the customers the ability of purchasing the product.
Does anyone have any idea how to achieve this or even where to start!
Thanks in advance

Most payment gateways allow somehow to send the details of the purchased products details via API when processing the payment.
For SagePay (if you mean the one which currently is labeled as Opayo by Elavon) you may use the detailed basket via XML or CSV. Or you may simply use the common Description field.
For Worldpay it's the instruction.narrative.line1 field from the authorization request.
And for Stripe it should be either metadata or payment_intent_data objects.
I am doing work for a non profit with 0 budget for IT. They need to allow users to enter information on a Google Form and then collect payment. I have done a lot of research on the topic and currently appears you can only add a hyperlink on the Google Forms to link to PayPal. However, I was wondering if there was some way to link the PayPal Express Checkout javascript(https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/direct/express-checkout/integration-jsv4/add-paypal-button/) into the Google Form so it calls back with a transaction id and status. Then I would be able to somehow insert those values into the Google Form. Any thoughts on how to integrate would be helpful. I am a developer but not familiar with Google Forms.
I recently wrestled with this exact question and ended up building a G Suite addon to make this easier for others. Coincidentally I also do volunteer IT for a small nonprofit and we wanted to use PayPal with our signup form (there's pricing for the addon but just ping me if you're a small nonprofit).
Here's what I learned while building it:
There's no way for Apps Script to modify the form once it's shown to the user, or to use Apps Script to respond to user input
There's no way to redirect the user automatically to PayPal after a form is submitted
That means if you want to send someone to PayPal, you've got to use an ordinary link. You can do this within the form by adding the URL to a question description, or you can add the URL to the text shown once someone has submitted the form. For PayPal, you've got two options for this kind of link:
PayPal buttons
Express checkout
PayPal buttons are a static link managed by PayPal. They don't require any coding - just go here and create a button. Then you need to get the raw text link for the button, which PayPal calls the "email" version. You can insert that into your form directly and tell users to access it. The one problem is there's no real way to get the transaction ID. You could try correlating the form submit time with the payment time, or the payer email with the form submit email. It's possible that neither of them will match up and you'll have to do it manually.
Express checkout requires you to dynamically create a new link for each payment by calling the PayPal API. That means your link needs to open a page that then generates an express checkout URL and redirects the user to it. You can do this using a web app in Google Apps Script using a doGet() trigger, or you can create your backend on your server in any language.
If you can run your own server somewhere, I recommend that (plenty of PaaS services have a free tier). It's much easier to test and debug things when you aren't using Apps Script. I used the PayPal Node SDK which works great despite being unmaintained. (Express checkout is "deprecated" by PayPal, but I'll bet it's not going away anytime soon). Their example will get you most of the way there. When the user arrives, generate a payment link and redirect them. When they finish they'll return to your server, and you can display whatever you want. For example, you can ask them to copy the transaction ID and paste it into your form.
Finally, when your form is submitted an onSubmit() trigger can be set up. There are actually two kinds of onSubmit() triggers for forms - one for the form itself, and a second for the spreadsheet linked to the form. You can register a trigger to do extra processing (e.g. look up the transaction ID), but you can't modify the response in the trigger. You can however modify the spreadsheet where the trigger gets sent, which for most cases is equivalent. For example, you could add a column to the spreadsheet with a link to the PayPal transaction based on the transaction code.
I am trying to build a spiritual website for one company and they are planning to embed some videos in their website.
And they are requesting me to make their videos private as they don't want the users to download them as they are collecting some amount for the classes and they would like to give those videos at a particular time on the website for the registered users.
If we go for live streaming it's costing much so we are planning to host it on the same website and remove them after a period of time.
So I would like to know what is the best way to do this?
Consider using a combination of PayPal Subscriptions and Forms Authentication. Use the PayPal IPN to get the users status (if they're paid up or not) and associate this with the transaction ID and user ID.
They will only get access to the video class page if they are authenticated. At that point, you can retrieve their subscription status from the DB and grant them access if they are paid up. If not, provide a friendly message and link to PayPal.

How to set up a Paypal Subscription
You may have to use profiles to store extra information per user. If this is the case and you are using ASP.NET WAP (2.0+), then use the following info to set that up:

Serving videos in a website can be done using either streaming or progressive download. The latter is technically similar to any other download, i.e. if users find the video's URL, they can download it.
You can write client-side code for hashing a one-time token to try and obfuscate the URL of the video file, but essentially committed users can hack their way into the download URL.
Your other option is to use DRM, which will allow you to restrict playing the file even if downloaded. But that might actually cost you more than streaming. (It will also provide better protection of your video, as streamed videos can also be saved on users' computers if they know how to).
I have a problem that I need to send a message to some of my friends on facebook and it is wasting time to send message individually to each one
also I want to be able to send a post that including Image and text to some facebook groups for marketing purpose to my facebook page
So I think that I can find a program that can help me do that or even some code example that can do that, or may be I will need to make my own program, but I never deal with facebook platform before
so please if any one can help I will be thankful
Thanks in Advance
This is straightforward with Windows PowerShell and http://facebookpsmodule.codeplex.com. For example
Get-Friends | Show-FBMessageDialog -Link http://www.example.com
displays a dialog to send a message to all your friends (or you can add a filter to the command). I have used this to send a message to over a thousand people. This is not completely automated (Facebook API restriction), it will show one dialog for each 50 recipients.
Is it possible and if so how to do an IPN transaction within a facebook application?
I found you can not launch an IPN transaction within an iframe. I will be using facebook's iframe option for my application, so I need to figure out a way for the users to pay.
I guess it would be possible to launch a pop up with the transaction in there... but then there is the risk of pop up blockers etc.
How do developers normally receive payment?
If you are looking to do simple micropayments (such as for virtual currency in a facebook app game) you may want to consider a 3rd party API such as SocialGold (http://www.jambool.com/)
SocialGold supports an iframe option by using a signature passing method and handles a wide variety of payment types, including PayPal.
If you want to avoid the risk of a popup blocker, consider instead using the iframe within an inline dialog within your application. There are many dialog handlers, but I recommend one that relies on JQuery myself:
