online payment option

Can someone walk me through how to set up an online payment option.  My preference is to use paypal. 

I have a form the user fills out.  It totals various child records they add as they fill in the parent form.  When they are done I would like them to be able to click "Pay" and it send the "total" and "user name" fields to paypal for payment.  Ideally after they pay I would like paypal to send back to update the record that this was paid.

I am assuming this needs to be a pipeline with a webhook.  While I have built pipelines I am not familiar with how webhooks work.  

Can anyone walk me through this?

    Do you need some kind of formal invoice to go along with it or just payment? The paypal API uses Oauth2.0 which based on other posts and other experience with Pipelines - you won't be able to successfully authenticate because Pipelines can't respond to the redirect URL that is required for Oauth authentication. I looked at Venmo - but the same issue will persist. 

    I would suggest looking into a platform like a Quickbooks or another invoicing type processor. In that sense - you can integrate Quickbase to send the information from your form as an Invoice - and then those platforms typically have their own payment processors that could process the payment and you could sync back to Quickbase.
