Adding value to database after purchase?

Is there a way to have something added to the database when a purchase is made, like tq adds cps after you buy

Have them log into the website with the same username and password as the game account, and when they make the purchase, add the data to the db.

So there is no way without the login?

Paypal has a built in system for this... I'd do some research into it really.

As stated though the best way to deal with it is having people make their donations while logged into their account so that it knows what account to credit to. If they are NOT logged in when returning to site from purchasing, ask them for a username to credit to.

Give them codes.

After purchase give them codeees. enter code and to what acc and credit.

I agree with Dread... codes is soo much easier... Once the payment has been accepted make a random code (specific amount of letters/number etc) email to the buyer and insert it into an encrypted MySql table / something similar.

Or use an algorithm to generate the code and cross-refrence it to check if its been used, Have the algorithm check if that random code has been "randomated" before, and if so randomize a new one untill that is false. Thought i'd explain it in a tad more detail then .Beatz did so you get a better idea.

If you find any data on that subject would you PM me where you found it? This would be a nice way to take more workload off my back =D
