I have integrated a PayPal Buy Now button on my site as follows:
<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="RECEIVER#RECEIVER.com">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="description here">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="100">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/NL/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>
Upon a succesfull purchase, I would like to redirect the user to a certain page (not known in advance - dynamic). How can this be achieved?
You will need to set "return" field in your form. Like this:
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="URLspecificToThisTransaction">

PayPal DNS issues, or maybe I'm doing something wrong below to cause this?
This was working fine until today oddly enough
Here's my PayPal form (uses PayPal buttons API):
<form id="mepr_pp_standard_form" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick-subscriptions">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="some#email.com">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Cool Product">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="54">
<input type="hidden" name="tax_rate" value="0.000">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://cooliosite.org/return">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://cooliosite.org/cancel?txn_id=54">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="src" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="sra" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="30.00">
<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="M">
</form>
I get to PayPal properly after submitting the button form.
But as soon as I click "Log In" I get this:
The live16 part of the PayPal URL changes from time to time, but the DNS error remains the same otherwise.
So can anyone spot that I'm doing something wrong (aside from the insecure HTML form) that would cause this DNS issue - or is PayPal simply having some DNS troubles that are not mentioned in their status page currently?
Fix has been pushed for this issue. Please proceed for further testing.
Is it possible to get the value of the custom variable from without using IPN?
I have a very simple project that doesn't need auto payment verification or anything like that, everything is done manually. I just need to like one input from the payment page along with that payment.
So is it possible to get the info from the custom variable in the payment confirmation email from paypal or the paypal payment receipt?
Check out button example:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" id="paypal-form" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick-subscriptions">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="paypal#email.com">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Item Name">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="src" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="10.00">
<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="M">
<input type="hidden" name="custom" id="payment-custom" value="CUSTOM VALUE">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-SubscriptionsBF:btn_subscribeCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
So I want to get that "CUSTOM VALUE" without using a ipn script, is it possible?
The GetTransactionDetails API will return it
I have generated a "buy now" button from the paypal sandbox website as follows :
<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="abc#xyz.com">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="BuyItNow">
<input id="paypalamount" type="hidden" name="amount" value="{{totalprice}}">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="button_subtype" value="services">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF:btn_buynowCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest">
<input type="image" src="img\paypal.png" border="0" name="submit" style="position:absolute;top:12px;left:10px">
</form>
When someone pays with the button, I want to send a default note to the seller. Is there a hidden field I can use?
Here's the code you are looking for. Check out variable list for all the acceptable variables.
You need to edit your security settings in paypal for the note itself to show up, then do
<input type="hidden" name="cn" value="Add special instructions to the seller:">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0">
A value of 1 will hide the box/prompt. It will appear on the checkout page. You can set up a buy now button to collect a text field entry, but you have to do that on set-up.
<input type="hidden" name="on1" value="Color" maxlength="200">Note
<input type="text" name="os1">
So if you have the no_note value correct (as you do in your code), you should look into your seller settings to make sure you are collecting instructions from customers.
I'm creating a simple paypal checkout where the customer can check out via PayPal. Below is the sample code i am using for paypal checkout.
<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="kids t-shirt">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="200.00">
<input type="image" src="http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>
As you can see, a simply form that passes product name and price which customer can see in their order summary.however how can i pass products details such as product size and color?
Just pass the some more hidden value.check the below code.
<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="kids t-shirt">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="200.00">
<input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Size" />
<input type="hidden" value="your size value" name="os0">
<input type="hidden" name="on1" value="color" />
<input type="hidden" value="your color value" name="os1">
<input type="image" src="http://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>
For some reason I can't get my paypal express checkout to allow guest-checkout without logging into paypal. I have the two vital form fields
<input type="hidden" name="SOLUTIONTYPE" value="Sole" />
<input type="hidden" name="LANDINGPAGE" value="Billing" />
but it still only shows login.
The full form looks like this (without products, normally there'd be item_1, item_2 and so forth):
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="image" src="myimg.png" name="submit" class="wp_cart_checkout_button" alt="Betal med PayPal - det er hurtigt, gratis og sikkert!"><input type="hidden" name="return" value="return.com">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="my#email.dr">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="DKK">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="da_DK">
<input type="hidden" name="SOLUTIONTYPE" value="Sole">
<input type="hidden" name="LANDINGPAGE" value="Billing">
<input type="hidden" name="logoimg" value="logo.png">
<input type="hidden" name="PAYMENTACTION" value="Sale">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="2">
</form>
If you're specifying this information in a , you're most likely not using Express Checkout.
Can you share the rest of your code? I have a strong suspicion you're using Payments Standard instead.
With Payments Standard you can't force the billing or login page; it's determined by cookie. If a PayPal login cookie is found, it'll display the login page. If no login cookie is found, it will display the billing page.
