So I hope I don't sound to noob here. I've created all required buttons via the customers paypal account. I signed them up with PayFlow Checkout as they have a gateway that they want to use bc it's with their business bank, it's a First Date Merchant Account.
The payflow checkout is the free version for now. I have also saved and published the integrated checkout page.
How or what am I missing that needs to occur on their product page for the PayFlow process to be used?
I've gone through the PDF for developers but maybe I am not understanding something. I thought it was a simple fix to the buttons or some code snippet I paste in the header area.
EDIT - I do have the sandbox accounts created however maybe I'm not sure of what needs to happen next.
Buttons and current paypal cart located here.
Please be kind and give me any tips on what am I missing.

Is it possible to make a link in site A to site B.
But you Can't visit site B with an URL. Only go from A to B.
What I want to do is:
You pay on a HTML with a PayPal button, after paying PayPal redirect you to a form page where you fill in the form for ordering.
But to avoid fraud I don't want that people can visit the form page without paying.
I hope that somebody can help me!
You cant do that with HTML only, you'll need javascript.
Assuming that you know Javascript, you can use the jwt token to give the user access when a certain condition is true (in this case, when the user has paid)
You should use paypal braintree integration or any other payment gateway provide built in solution which prevents the case you are refering to, look at adyen integration.
I've created a Shopify store where discount codes can be entered indirectly. Therefore I am trying to disable the discount box as seen below.
I've researched it and seen you can edit the code in Themes > Actions > Edit Code.
And I've followed some videos:

However I am unable to do it.
Has anyone done this before?
Please Help!
You are in the right place, you need to look for the "checkout.liquid" file to make that edit.
Looks like you need to have a Shopify Plus account to be able to access that specific file, and lacks a workaround because of the security necessary to keep that page PCI compliant.
You can see more here: https://community.shopify.com/c/Shopify-Discussion/Customizing-Checkout-Page/td-p/453743
I have a page where a simple script calculates price after the user selects options but the problem is that I don't know how to take the generated price with the forms completed by the user and send that information to PayPal checkout page.
I made inputs that are hidden in the page that change values when user interacts with the page.
This is the page: http://lolo-boosting.ucoz.com/index/boosting/0-8
A working example here: https://boosteria.org/lol-elo-boosting
Would greatly appreciate if someone can share some links or information about this because I failed searching for this.
Take a look at the PayPal cart upload command method. That should allow you to accomplish your goal.
I have this question: is safe use an iframe to load the page where the customer will do the payment. For example paypal or DineroMail or the page that does the credit card payment.
Because My boss wants that the customer feels that never leaves the site so in my site I added an iframe (and inside this I load the url of the payment) but don't know if is correct and safe or no.
Thanks.
From a technical security point of view (Same Origin Policy), it is exactly as safe to open an iframe as it is to open a new tab.
From a UI point of view, opening an iframe in certain locations can deceive the user and you might be accused of trying to clickjack the user into making an inadvertent payment if you are not careful.
I cannot say anything about PayPal's own policy, but you should make sure they are okay with it.
I have been through this several times with many clients. A lot of it has to do with 1)he isnt comfortable with a customer leaving his site in fear the checkout wont occour or 2) its a pride thing that he wants clients to feel all the services can be performed in site.
One of the things that your boss needs to understand is that people like using paypal because they are trusted and its a familiar process to them. He needs to know that not only are people ok with being redirected to paypal, but they expect it. If I where to run into a site where they checked me out in an iFrame on paypal it would be a red flag for me. Why? Because with the redirect I can see the address bar. I know that Im at paypals site and I can see if its a secure connection.
If he is dead set on a customer never leaving a site. He needs to do something like paypal payments pro. This is probably the solution he really wants.
EDIT
I found your answer answer when dealing with the same issue myself last weekend and wanted to come back with something better!
Its called flex and its apart of the adaptive payments classic api. Which will take an additional application process which your boss may fee is well worth it.
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/adaptive-payments/integration-guide/APIntro/
Head about 3/4 of the way down and youll see step by step instructions to do exactly what your loooking for. A secure paypal iframe.
Quick tip: If you have to incorporate it in your own processes simply do the following.
1) obtain your paykey after sending the request to paypal.
2) call in the javascript source as in the tutorial.
3) redirect the window manually as opposed to their created paypal button. aka https://www.paypal.com/webapps/adaptivepayment/flow/pay?paykey=YOURPAYKEY
another good source is : https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/developer/docs/pdf/pp_adaptivepaymentsmobile.pdf
It is safe if Paypal allow it, but you have to be careful from a UI point of view.
If your site is loaded over http and you load the IFrame within your site, it appears to the user not to be secure even though the IFrame is loaded over https. This approach is also vulnerable to a MiTM attack as an attacker could intercept and change the IFrame URL to something like http://www.evil.com and nobody would be the wiser at the time of entering the card details.
If your site is loaded over https your customer has to trust you with their card details as they cannot be sure that the IFrame is actually pointing to the Paypal domain on https (https://www.paypal.com) and not your site. Yes they could right click and check the source, but this is a step too far for most users and technically an evil site could swap the IFrame for an evil version without the customer noticing.
My recommendation is to actually redirect to https://www.paypal.com because then it is shown in the address bar with a padlock and reassures users that they are giving their details to Paypal and nobody else.
I have a WordPress blog account already (abc.wordpress.com). And I have my own web site: www.xyz.com
I would like to integrate my WordPress blog content into my own site. Hopefully something like blog.xyz.com or just replace the home page of xyz.com with abc.wordpress.com
I know that I can download WordPress' code from wordpress.org and run my own WordPress. And having my own MySQL database, but WordPress is always releasing new code. I don't have the time to keep updating the source on my end to match it.
I'm running my own site as a hobby, so I prefer to let WordPress.com to manage the content for me and continue reuse my own blog at abc.wordpress.com, but make the content show up in my own site: xyz.com
I hope I was clear when explaining this.
Anyone knows a way to do this?
Thanks.
If your main worry is about the updates, I would say don't be. A simple click of the 'Updates' button in the wordpress admin is all you need to do in order to apply the updates for wordpress. A notification will pop up alerting you of any updates.
And as Calle has already mentioned, you can retrieve your content via RSS, or you could just export your current content from Wordpress.com, import the content into your own site, and manage it there. Everything would be in one spot.
Good Luck.
I don't know how good you are with programming but there's a PHP library called Simple Pie which would help you retrieve your content via RSS (which Wordpress automatically generates for you). The adress is here: http://simplepie.org/
If you are not very good with programming, perhaps you can get someone to do it for you or find a script which is already written somewhere. I do think RSS is definitely the best way to go.
I also think you exaggerate the problems of hosting Wordpress yourself. It's not something that you have to keep updated with, and if you want to, all you have to do is log in from time to time, perhaps once a month (how often are you writing articles?), and click "update" and Wordpress will do everything for you. Both for your plugins and WP version.
For the ability to use your own domain (xyz.com) and have wordpress redirect users from abc.wordpress.com(your wordpress blog) to your domain requires a premium account.
If you have a premium account then you can just log in to wordpress.com, click 'upgrades' and select 'domains'. From there you will see the option "Map an Existing Domain" and you will want to enter your domain here. Now your wordpress.com blog is what will show when users enter your domain's url (xyz.com).
Alternatively, if you need a workaround with a free wordpress.com account then you want to just embed your blog and for that you will need to use an RSS feed. Note: this method will not maintain your wordpress styles it will merely transport the content. Also by default not all browsers support RSS feeds.
You can view your blog's current feed by adding 'feed' to the end of your wordpress.com url, i.e. abc.wordpress.com/feed. You can read more about feeds here (http://en.support.wordpress.com/feeds/). Now you are just left with the task of figuring out how to embed the feed into your page.
One final hail-mary you might attempt is just redirecting your domain to your blog. Reference on how to do this different ways here: (http://css-tricks.com/redirect-web-page/). Example, place this tag in the section of your domains pages:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL='http://google.com'" />
(this will redirect after 0 seconds to the specified url)
