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.

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.
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
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.

Problem :
Paypal opens a lightbox when you want to buy something with Express Checkout Digital Goods.
On this lightbox you can click several times on "Pay now" button, this is bad user experience and it breaks my backend scripts.
Steps :
I integrate Express Checkout for Digital goods in my Flash website. I use the Paypal script "https://www.paypalobjects.com/js/external/dg.js", and to open Paypal lightbox I do :
dg = new PAYPAL.apps.DGFlow();
dg.startFlow(setup_url);
Then my website is under a mask, and a lightbox appears.
The setup_url is the url of my php script that sets up the Paypal transaction. When the setup is ok, it redirects to https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/incontext?token=...&useraction=commit
I am not remembered by Paypal, the lightbox shows a button "Log in", I click on it.
A popup appears over the lightbox, to log in. I check the "Remember me" checkbox and log in.
The popup displays the cart, I click on "Pay now" button.
IMMEDIATELY the popup closes, and the lightbox displays "loading" while the script I set as "return_url" is executing.
I start the Paypal DGFlow again, but now I am remembered.
The lightbox appears and shows the cart (there is no adding popup), I click on "Pay now"
Nothing seems to happen !! Actually, the script I set as "return_url" is executing, but the Paypal lightbox does not show the "loading" message and just stay on the cart. I can click again and again on "Pay now", and each time I click on this button, Paypal calls return_url.
Question :
Is it a bug ?
Do you see the same behaviour ?
Do you know a workaround to prevent the user to click several times on the "Pay now" button ?
