I'm using a recurring payment feature on my website. Below is the code for the payment page.
<form id = "ofnForm" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<!-- Identify your business so that you can collect the payments. -->
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="XXXXXXX#gmail.com">
<!-- Specify a Buy Now button. -->
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick-subscriptions">
<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="5">
<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="Y">
<input type="hidden" name="src" value="1">
<!-- Specify details about the item that buyers will purchase. -->
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">
<input type="hidden" class="payData" name="custom" value="1286">
<!-- Specify URLs -->
<input type='hidden' name='cancel_return' value='XXX.com/users/paymentAccountstatus/1286'>
<input type='hidden' name='return' value='XXX.com/users/paymentAccountstatus/1286'>
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value='XXX.com/users/paymentAccountstatus/1286'>
<input type='hidden' name='rm' value='2'>
<!-- Display the payment button. -->
<img style="margin-top: 10px;" src="xx.com/image/paypal.png" id="paypal_img" class="paypal_img"/>
</form>
Onclick of the payment button system is redirecting to paypal website where the user is able to pay the amount. After payment succes paypal redirecting to the receipt page to show the payment detail. Below the payment detail there is a button called "return to marchant website". Onclicking to that button user is redirecting to my website but, I am not able to retrive any data from the return response.
Could anyone tell me why I am not able to receive any response from PayPal?
Any help is appriciable.
Do you have "Payment data transfer" enabled in https://www.paypal.com/businessmanage/preferences/website ?
It might not work with subscriptions
In any case, it's not very useful. The user may never return, either because they didn't click to return or because they were interrupted somehow.
If you need a reliable notification of the transaction information from subscriptions, set up a separate asynchronous listener for either webhook events, or the older Instant Payment Notification (IPN) message service

I want to create a html paypal form. But how can I make the form with no Billing information input needed? Or what input variable should I add in the form? So The buyer don't need to input Billing information as the image shown below.
If you don't want the buyer to input billing information again in PayPal checkout page, you can pass buyer's billing information form your site to PayPal, as below:
<input type='hidden' name='first_name' value='tet'>
<input type='hidden' name='last_name' value='test'>
<input type="hidden" name="city" value="test">
<input type="hidden" name="state" value="NE">
<input type="hidden" name="zip" value="68114">
<input type="hidden" name="country" value="US">
<input type='hidden' name='address1' value='testtest'>
Then PayPal can fill in these information automatically.
Let's suppose we have an <input> element where the user can enter a number (e.g. 500).
When clicking some button or so, I want the user to be redirected to the PayPal donation page where they can specify the ammount but to have the default value set to the number set in the input (500 in this case).
Does the PayPal url allows such an option (maybe via querystring parameters)?
Yes it is possible. You will need to create an open source Donation Button in order to have your donors add the donation amount from the form you create rather than on the PayPal Hosted page.
You need to add this to your donation button code
<input type="text" name="amount" size=10><br /><br />
Below is the complete Donation Button Sample code.
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
<!-- Update to Your PayPal Email or Merchant ID -->
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="youremail#email.com">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<!-- Update the Value to the Donation Name -->
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Test Donations"><p>Please Enter an Amount</p>
<!-- The below will allow your customers to enter an amount and this gets passed to PayPal -->
<input type="text" name="amount" size=10><br /><br />
<!-- The rest is the normal PayPal Donation button Info -->
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="cn" value="Add special instructions to the seller:">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF:btn_donateCC_LG.gif:NonHosted">

Creating Donation Buttons
I'm trying to help someone with a problem, where you can donate for some points, but you the source code will allow you to edit the values of the paypal button.
For instance, i choose 5 points which should cost 5 dollar, but when I edit source code I can see the whole paypal form with values, and edit the values.
So how can I secure the form so that it cannot be edited?
Here's the code:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="at" value="nBWAy2wwJn1O1LdoLcMn8AOdPxBBUxhnZfqFvAlGQq1oDm0czxn5FBcpgIW">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="admin#worldofthegods.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="DP|1|452160">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.worldofthegods.com/donate.php?action=done">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.worldofthegods.com/donate.php?action=cancel">
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" value="http://www.worldofthegods.com/ipn_donator.php">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="tax" value="0">
<input type="image" src="http://worldofthegods.com/images/PaypalButton.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>
In this way, it's impossible. I guess what you want to do, and this is not the correct way you are following.
You need to verify each payment and make sure they are valid and payed in correct amount.
Paypal IPN is the solution and you need some Server-side programming.

I'd suggest using something like Express Checkout, which allows you to send the transaction details in an API call instead of showing them in HTML code to the buyer.
However, barring that, your next best option is to use Encrypted Website Payments. https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/encryptedwebpayments/#id08A3I0P017Q
I run a gold intangible electric goods which I am selling business.
Recently I came across some difficulties with PayPal where customers started doing chargebacks, I have now switched over to Google Checkout and now am making the website more secure against this type of fraud.
So I am collecting the user's IP address / hostname / user-agent / proxy information which I will send to credit card companies and FBI to resolve chargebacks from now on, I can't really start a database since my webiste doesn't use any databases just session based.
So I am sending for now the information as a secondary item.. with a price of 0.00$ (free). In base64 encoded format.
So how do I get the customer's information, but make it so the customer doesn't see this information, as first of all it may scare some customers.
The HTML Code my shopping website generates is like this.

Thanks.
Why not use PHP (or ASP) and save the details to a database before forwarding to Google Checkout, then update the order with the transaction ID using callbacks?
Basically I want a functionality to download code mywebsite.
I checked following link for google checkout digital products.
https://checkout.google.com/support/sell/bin/answer.py?answer=39011
I created buy now button for digital product from sandbox using this link.HTML code redirects me to google checkouts as usual.
But it does not give me any download link anywhere after payment. ??

You need to use continue_url
<input type="hidden" name="continue_url" value="http://www.example.com/download"/>
Google Checkout offer a digital delivery solution, with various options for providing access to the digital content.
Please be aware that credit card transactions are authorized and charged AFTER the user places the order. Depending on how valuable the content is, you may want to hold off providing the URL to the download content until payment is guaranteed.
