Taking Online Payments with Access
David Witham

I’m on the board of an active social organization. We occasionally put on events which need to be registered for and usually there is a charge is there a way to take the neede information and have Access use api to interact with PayPal or Venmo so that the the user only types their information in once?

Yep, that's exactly what the Credit Card Template is for. It lets you take the information entered in your Access database and send a one-time transaction to PayPal's Payflow Gateway Pro, so the user doesn't have to enter everything twice.

It is designed around PayPal's gateway, not Venmo. Venmo is owned by PayPal, but I don't know whether its current API supports this particular type of direct payment processing. You would need to check Venmo's developer documentation for that.

Also, for something like event registration, I would strongly recommend not storing card numbers in Access. A better approach is usually to send the user to a hosted payment page or use a payment processor's checkout system, then save only the payment confirmation or transaction ID in your database. That keeps the sensitive card information out of your database entirely.

If you want to store credit card information for recurring billing, for example, definitely use SQL Server with proper security.
