Hi, <br />
I need some advice in creating in creating payment based account registration in drupal 7.<br />
<br />
I have thought about using Drupal Commerce to achieve this feature, however its a massive overkill to use it just for a registration page which goes to a payment gateway(paypal), then create an user account upon successful payment.<br />
If Drupal commerce is the way to do this, what is best practise to create a registration system like this?<br />
<br />
I have tried to do this with Form API, but became stuck when dealing with payment gateways.

Drupal is an open-source content-management framework written in PHP used as a back-end framework for websites and is also used for knowledge management and business collaboration. The standard release of Drupal contains basic features common to content management systems, including user account registration and maintenance, menu management, RSS feeds, taxonomy, page layout customization, and system administration. Drupal runs on any computing platform that supports both a Web server capable of running PHP and a database to store content and configuration.
