PayPal smart button - redirect to PayPal website - paypal

I use PayPal's smart buttons generator to generate code that will render buttons on my website. This works well and the buttons display properly on my website.
Initially, their behaviour was as follows: User clicks on the "Debit or Credit Card" button and they are taken to the PayPal website where the user would enter their card details etc. For me this is the preferred behaviour.
For some reason this behaviour stopped working and now clicking on the button renders and embedded form to enter credit card details within my webpage.
How can I go back to the previous behaviour that would take the user to PayPal website?

There are a few countries that aren't eligible for the embedded card form, and so will open the PayPal window as a fallback.
All other users will see the embedded form where available, which is the intended functionality for the button. If you won't want the black button, you can append &disable-funding=card to the SDK line, leaving only the regular PayPal experience. There is no way to make the black button open a window, it is not designed or intended to work that way.
The embedded experience is nicer anyway.

Mailto: Function opens Paypal app instead of native email app (on mobile)

i try to figure out why my mailto function doesn't work like expected. I get redirected to paypal everytime i click on it. I use an Android phone (S7).
The button link looks like this:
mailto:?subject=I%20wanted%20you%20to%20see%20this%20site&body=Check%20out%20this%20article%3A%20https%3A%2F%2Ftestsite.net%2F
Of course i could delete or disable Paypal on my phone...The problem is: i want to share the link online and if people get redirected to paypal instead this would cost me money.
There must be any solution...Do you have any ideas ?
With best Regards,
Fabi
Hold down the paypal app icon. Click info. Go down to settings, then where it says set as default, click "clear defaults".

Paypal - Custom Logo Appears on Checkout Page But Not on Cart Page

whether i add the 150x50 image via externally hosted https or upload to the profile image in Paypal, it will not show up on the 'cart' page, but it will on the 'checkout' page.
i believe we're simply using the Paypal Website Standard Payment method by creating "buy now" buttons via their button creator tool, then just inserting the given html in to our webpage.
when the user clicks on one of these buttons, it opens a Paypal shopping cart page in a new window/tab. where the logo should go, it just says "Your shopping cart". then when clicking on the checkout button (for either to login & use paypal or to not login & use creditcards) the following pages does have the logo.
note: the cart/checkout system is NOT using either the "classic" nor "enhanced" templates that we could customize. it's using a non-customizable "advanced" view.
FYI - i heard from Paypal Tek Support and they said this is the intended behaviour. logos will not appear on the cart page but will appear on the checkout page.

Is it possible for the Braintree Drop-In UI PayPal button pop-up to work on a webpage that is displayed inside an Adobe AIR desktop app?

We have a web page that uses the Braintree Drop-In UI. If I visit the page in a normal browser like Chrome, then the pop-up for the PayPal button works properly.
But we want to use this page inside our Adobe AIR desktop app. When you view the page in AIR everything is fine except the PayPal button pop-up doesn't appear on click, so PayPal is essentially disabled.
Why doesn't the pop-up work? I was trying to find the code for the pop-up but I think it is buried somewhere in here:
https://js.braintreegateway.com/v2/braintree.js
Full disclosure: I work for Braintree.
braintree.js is currently not supported in compile-to-native runtimes. I'd suggest investigating the Adobe AIR documentation to determine how it handles pop-ups.

Responsive landing page for Paypal button?

Using a standard Paypal merchant account to create a pay button, integrated into a "button" on our CMS (mobeefox.com) via URL.
Using this standard function, end user lands on a non-responsive form.
Is it possible to create a URL towards a responsive landing page for payment without developping?
Thanks in advance!
The user will only be redirected to responsive landing page if they use mobile device to access it. On desktop, the landing page will stay as it is. Also, note that the responsive page (or mobile-optimized page) will not work under certain circumstances such as if the button has discount amount etc. More information on it: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/products/mobile-paypal-payments-standard/#usecases

Automatically click a link on the next 3rd party page

I am using a paypal donattion button on my website:
http://naturalistevmr.com/index.php/donate
Once I click that paypal button, it redirects to paypals donation website.
This website is very confusing for my donors as they would just like to pay with credit card, and you have to click the small text "Continue" to open the credit card fields.
Is it possible to create a script which automatically clicks the "continue" link on the paypal page, after the donate link has been clicked on my original page?
Any info is much appreciated.
Thanks
If you want to take the PayPal option out of the picture and only offer direct credit cards, you would need PayPal Pro. For more information on Pro and signing up, you can go to www.paypal.com/pro.
