Consider these two links to PayPal:
Donation payment link
Buy Now payment link
When users click the first, they will see item_name and item_number. For the Buy Now one, however, when users click this one they won't see the item_name and item_number.
How can I show the item's name and number on a Buy Now link?
How can I show the item's name and number on a Buy Now link?
It's there -- click the cart icon+price in the upper right to see item detail.
All normal PayPal checkouts work this way.

Good morning, i have to create a landing page that gives the possibility to the user to book an pay with paypal buttons a limited training course.
Is the a way to make the paypal button interact?
I know that it is the possibility to set a stocking for the single product, but what i need to know is if it is possible to create a grouped product that change the stocking values of the others.
(example: if i buy the product a that has a 25 pieces stock, it will low the stock of the product b too)
thanks
Yes, you can track your inventory with PayPal buttons. Refer to the link below for the guidelines on creating Yes, you can track your inventory with PayPal buttons.

a button on your account.
I would like to include PayPal recurring donation buttons on my website so that users can donate to other nonprofits/charities of my choosing. My website would include many of these buttons, and all money would be sent directly to these charities. How would I go about this? As far as I know, one can only create donate/subscription buttons where the money goes to the creator of the button. Thanks!
When you create the button make sure to uncheck the option to save the button at PayPal, which would bind it to that account.
When you do that the HTML code provided will include a "business" parameter that would be the email address of the account the profile should be created with and the money should drop in to.
Another option would be using the Express Checkout API, with which you can specify the account the money should go to with the SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID parameter.
I see in PayPal how to make a Buy Now button. However, the code behind that is a form that POST to PayPal. Is there a way to create a link to a PayPal payment page with all of the relevant information (e.g. item name, price, custom customer fields to request, discount coupon field, etc.)? I want to be able to include this link in emails/SMS. I only have one item to sell and it's for a certain price, unless a valid discount coupon is applied, then it's for a set lower price.
I will want to put a Buy Now button on my site to do the same thing, but I do need a link I can email/SMS as well. Is there a way to do this?
Yes, PayPal website payments standard URLs work via either GET or POST, so you can take the same variables and put them in the URL string. So for example:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=foo#yourcompanyhere.com
However, I'm not sure if this is an "offical" feature; while it has worked for at least the last dozen years so I would be comfortable using it in an email, I would recommend keeping your primary website integration using form posts.
Can I add a Donate button as one of the multiple items for PayPal's Add To Cart option?
A quick Google search seems to indicate the answer is "no".
That is correct you can not have a Donate button as part of a Cart. However, you can have a donation item that can be added to your cart.
An example would be A Theatre Group's donation page. The Left button is a Donate button, the Right button leads to a page with 3 types of donations and optional membership levels which are submitted to PayPal as a Cart.
If you click the standard Donate Button on the left, you go straight to PayPal to make a $10 donation.
If you use the right button, fill in any of the fields an click update, the fields are validated and then you can click the PayPal button to send the cart information to PayPal.
I see how to add a select box for pre-determined recurring donation/subscription amounts but can there also be an option for the user to decide how much they wish to donate (and perhaps how frequently)?
Thanks
With Donate and Buy Now payment buttons your buyers can enter their own price to pay on the PayPal checkout page. You can accomplish that by just leaving the amount value empty.
Subscription buttons require that an amount (the a3 variable for Subscriptions) value be provided during the redirect to PayPal so if you leave the field blank you would get an error. However, if you change the a3 input type to be text instead of hidden in your HTML form buyers can enter the amount on a text field on your website before being redirected to PayPal.
