I'm having some trouble with a form I'm trying to create in PayPal for a WordPress website. It's a form that allows for different types of registrations and quantities - both of these work. At the end, my client also wants an option to donate any amount - this is not working.
The code at the bottom is only adding the amount entered as a 'note' to paypal, not as an actual monetary value to the amount being paid. I've tried 'name="amount"' as well.
<table>
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input name="business" type="hidden" value="EMAIL" />
<input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_xclick" />
<input name="item_name" type="hidden" value="Camper Registration" />
<input name="currency_code" type="hidden" value="USD" />
<!-- Provide a dropdown menu option field with quantity. -->
<tr>
<td><input type="hidden" value="Quantity" />How Many Campers?</td>
<td><select name="quantity">
<option value="1">1</option>
<option value="2">2</option>
<option value="3">3</option>
<option value="4">4</option>
</select></td></tr>
<!-- Provide a dropdown menu option field with prices. -->
<tr>
<td><input name="on1" type="hidden" value="Payment Type" />Payment Amount</td>
<td><select name="os1">
<option value="deposit">Nonrefundable Deposit $100</option>
<option value="Before1/1">(Before 1/1/15) $210</option>
<option value="Before4/1">(Before 4/1/15) $225</option>
<option value="After4/1">(After 4/1/15) $250</option>
</select></td></tr>
<!-- Specify the price that PayPal uses for each option. -->
<input name="option_index" type="hidden" value="1" />
<input name="option_select0" type="hidden" value="deposit" />
<input name="option_amount0" type="hidden" value="100" />

<input name="option_amount2" type="hidden" value="225" />
<input name="option_select3" type="hidden" value="After4/1" />
<input name="option_amount3" type="hidden" value="250" />
<!-- Provide place for other donations. -->
<tr>
<td>Other Amount:</td>
<input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Other Amount">
<td><input name="os0" type="text" value="0"></td></tr>
<!-- Provide place for notes. -->
<tr>
<td>Child's Name(s) and Comments:</td>
<input type="hidden" name="on3" value="Notes">

<input alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online" name="submit" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynow_LG.gif" type="image" />
<img src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0" />
</form>
this is the code in question:
<tr>
<td>Other Amount:</td>
<input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Other Amount">
<td><input name="os0" type="text" value="0"></td></tr>
Ok, the code below works. But the thing is that it doesn't allow the user to alter the amount purchased.
I'm trying to figure out how to have the user, once they've purchased a ticket and get to paypal page, to be able to alter the amount of tickets they would like to have.
As it is, once you land on the paypal page, it shows what you purchased, and that's it, pretty much.
Any advice?
EDIT
If anyone needs an example of what I'm talking about, here's one: Paying for multiple items (at once) via paypal
Look at the image at bottom. Do you see the quantity column? That's what I meant. But when I tried what they did in that one, it doesn't work. I think it's because in that one, it uses _cart, wheres mine is _donation?

EDIT TWO
Ok, kinda confused about how to get the item increments to show up.
Advice would be appreciated.
These are the changes I've added to the post above:
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1">
Then to have the increment ability added ... I'm really confused by these lines and how to make it work for mine.
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="Item Name 1">
<input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="1.00">
So, for the first item in my drop-down box (ie, the platinum ticket), I've modified it slightly, adding the name value:
<option value="15000" name="platinum">$15,000 - Platinum Sponsorship</option>
And then,
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="platinum">
<input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="15000.00">
But as far as I can tell, that doesn't allow the user to change the quantity to what they want.

Do we need 2, 3, 4, & 6?
I get one, it's a way to label it, right?
2, what is button_subtype?
3, that's to say that there is no more additional info included, right?
4, is that needed? it's just purchase of a ticket online.
5, obviously needed.
6, is weight_unit really needed? as mentioned previously, it's just an online ticket.
7, is? I'm guessing a way for the incrementation to happen?
8, is to denote that the button is not hosted from paypal, right?
You don't have to answer any of those questions, and your answer has been accepted. Just wondering, is all.
Thank you again, Jared.

This is how your button should look, this is from paypal.
The donation button does not allow you to use a quanity because its intended for a donation, not a purchase. You can, however have the function of the add to cart button but appear as a donation button. Simply:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

Im sure this is obvious but I can't seem to get the auto-generated paypal code to work with my site. I see no debug errors. The button just does nothing when it is clicked. Any help would be appreciated

It was because I was using a form within a form. This code in my page load did the trick
if (!IsPostBack)
{ }
else { }
Form.Action = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr";
Form.Method = "post";
I have very simple Entry Order page with dropdown choice depending on age and the Pay Now button.
Rather than change the quantity on the PayPal Page, I would like to show a Quantity TextBox (with a default value of 1) below the DropDown and pass the value then to the PayPal Page.
Here is my html:
<body style="border-style:double; text-align:center;">
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" runat="server">
<div><br />
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"/>
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="WTFZKTFE95PDG"/>
<table align="center">
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Registration Fees"/><b>Registration Fees</b></td></tr><tr><td><select name="os0">
<option value="14 Years and over">14 Years and over £20.00 GBP</option>
<option value="under 14 Years">under 14 Years £15.00 GBP</option>
</select> </td></tr>
</table><br /><br />
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP"/>

</div>
</form>
</body>
The variable that you would want to use to pass over the quantity, would be "quantity". So you could just add a line of code similar to that below.
Quantity: <input type="text" name="quantity" maxlength="5" value="1">
I have a list of products that I'd like to add a "pay now" button to so that I can allow my customers to pay via Paypal.
I've gone through the documentation and can't find how to do this.
I can add multiple items, but this is not going to be handy as I already have the list of items to process.
I also need the checkout process to itemize the order, so a "buy now" with 1 price is no good either.
Any help appreciated guys, I tried (with no luck):

See this sample and make the changes to yours accordingly. Basically add underscore to item name before number and give unique name to amount also with underscore and number.
You have to give amount to each item based on your carts totals.
