I have the following code, which works fine as is. It shows the price at checkout, but I also need it to include a size in the description. How do I add this extra value please?
EDIT: Also, would need to add different shipping costs depending on which size is ordered.

Not sure what to ask exactly but I've followed the instructions on the PayPal Developer site:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/buynow_buttons/
have another question though. I have a form:

<input type="hidden" name="option_select4" value="6 Hours">
<input type="hidden" name="option_amount4" value="270.00">
If anyone with any experience could point out something I'm missing that would be great =)
I'm not entirely sure what your goal is, but would it be easier to use PayPal's built in use of dropdowns for a button? Since you are basically saying that the hourly rate is discounted you could use a buy now button that is set for $50 and if they choose a quantity of 3 or more it is discounted to $45. Hope this helps.
It turns out that the value of ABC in <option value="A">, <input type="hidden" name="option_selectX" value="B">, and <input type="hidden" name="option_amountX" value="C"> must (1) not contain any capitals, special characters or spaces, (2) it also must either be alphanumeric or contain at least one letter, and (3) be one whole phrase:

this is an answer
This is strange to me because the value of <option value="A"> could include spaces before I included <input type="hidden" name="option_selectX" value="B"> and <input type="hidden" name="option_amountX" value="C">.
Took me a little while of trial and error to figure this out.
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.

this is the code in question:
<tr>

<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:
