Paypal or Google Checkout Add to Button

[hargreaves56]

Hi

Can anyone confirm that you can use your own design (image) button on paypal but you have to use google button if using google mechant checkout?

If you know this, you might also be able to confirm you have just take the code and change the item name and price, for example, and add that to your site code. You don't need to use the paypal code generator for every button to creat right!?

Thanks!

you can certainly do it with paypal, the image is just a link in the button code, and yes you can change description and price manually. Here is a sample from my site:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Product Title">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="6.00">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.">
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://www.">
<input type="image" src="https://www.WEBSITE.com/BUTTON.GIF" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

I use this with a paypal IPN script on my site, easy enough to set up.

Driving me crazy!

I have taken that code and changed my bits (bold bits) and now it won't work:

This is enough to make you want to use RomanCArt!

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="[Company Name]" value="info@[companyname].co.uk">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="[business area]">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="6.00">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.">
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://www.">
<input type="image" src="https://www.WEBSITE.com/BUTTON.GIF" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with

<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

Best place to start is to create a button within Paypal then just edit it each time, the code I had is used with a PHP script to handle IPN data. Select the show email address option when creating the button otherwise I believe Paypal assign a unique id to the button which means you can't change the details.

Hello,

If you are still struggling and want a simpler solution that gives you more features than the basic Pay Pal cart, so the shopper stays on your website when they view their basket instead of a new web page launching on to the basic Pay Pal basket, please take a quick look at our ecommerce plugin solution for your website.

Our Shop Integrator ecommerce toolkit is an alternative to the Roman Cart solution you mentioned but we give you a much richer set of web page ecommerce widgets to copy and paste in to your website to build your online store.

I can figure out why this will not work! Paypal support is shocking



<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"

method="post">

<!-- Identify your business so that you can collect the payments. -->

<input type="hidden" name="Company Name" value="paypal@[companyname].co.uk">

<!-- Specify a PayPal Shopping Cart Add to Cart button. -->

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">

<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">

<!-- Specify details about the item that buyers will purchase. -->

<input type="hidden" name="item_name"

value="[product]">

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="100.00">

<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">

<!-- Display the payment button. -->

Hi,

I saw you were having a few issues with Paypal buttons.

I have a full source code which fully works which includes return URLs for successful transactions and also for payment cancellations. It will also allow custom images for use as the button.

I will also deal with postage prices and notes for you.

I have split this up into an annotated code snippet for you to enter your information quickly into it.

Let me know if you still need some help and I will send you the code with instructions on installation and customisation.

Drop us a line if you still need some help

Kind Regards
