Hey guys, is the paypal payment module secure? Some of my friends told me that there are ways to get trick the system into thinking they have paid, when they have not. I think its something to do with looking in the souce code. I really dont want that happening...Please help!

Thanks in advance

Will

I believe some folks were looking at the source code and taking the html code for Paypal buttons from that. They would then alter the price to 0.01 or something like that, and then buy the product for almost nothing. Paypal now has an encrypted button option on it's site, when you form your Paypal buttons. I think it is a new feature. You can also ask about it at: http://www.paypaldev.org/default.asp , which is a great MB for Paypal users, very helpful.
