Re: Paypal buy now/subscription response

@Jeremy,

Thanks for the quick response. A couple of quick questions

1. Your thoughts on PDT vs IPN [I have used the wsdl to implement
payment integration in the past, but prefer a simpler solution (HTTP)
here]
2. I believe IPN is tied to a single paypal account. What if I need to
use paypal subscriptions on couple of websites? I can pass the
domainname as a parameter. Are the variables passed using POST or GET?
Is this a weak solution?

Thanks,
Bharadwaj
