Money getting...

Are there any good APIs for ecommerce out there. Like if I want to get money by a button, somewhat like a Paypal 'Buy' button.

I haven't used this myself (though I do have a normal consumer account with them), but Coinbase has some merchant tools for accepting Bitcoin:

Apparently they'v been used by some pretty big companies to integrate BTC payments.

Just for PayPal you could take a look at PayPal's developer site here where you can find their API. Two other interesting APIs for eCommerce you might want to check out are Stripe and Braintree.
