would be great if web2py had a robust Paypal solution, which by extension would support credit cards too.
Though maybe this is more difficult than it sounds - I know Django has not yet achieved this. Recently I signed up for a conference that used a Django registration system and the Paypal support was extremely fragile. To pay it redirected you to PayPal and then if you pressed back before completing it would list you as paid anyway and wouldn't let you pay again!
