I'm a newbie developer working on my first site. I created a login environment for both regular users and admins as well. The admins are able to see pages that regular user cannot. I have created the shopping cart (PHP) which adds up all the selected items. I am not sure how to proceed now. I know I have to use PayPal but I am unsure where to start. I also don't know how the client would receive a customer's order. Would this happen through notifications that he would be able to see on the admin page? Or would the details go to his email address? Also how would payment confirmation be received? I would really appreciate some advice.
Don't delete any records. Just use Pagination and sort the payment confirmation from recent payment to oldest i.e. in Descending order of payment Date and Time. Also provide an option for your client to fetch records based on time range, even though its optional, it'll make your client happy. If you want more clarification regarding paypal integration, refer this.

Check out their website for their API and code snippets.

Do both and make it an option for the admins to choose.

Same as above.
