I followed the guideline for the in context integration. The first page looks OK:
But after that when I login, the next page I get is the regular checkout page, but inside the popup which looks weird.

Has anyone seen this before ?

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 got a huge problem with my PayPal e-commerce payment system.
The users cannot proceed to payment, because they are redirected to the PayPal home page instead of the payment page.
I can reproduce the problem easily, by typing the payment url twice in the browser, for instance this one (valide for 3 hours)
The first time, the payment page can appears, and the second time it will be the home page. The home page can appears the first time too. It looks like random.
Does someone know something about that problem?
Change the first ampersand (&) in the URL to a question mark (?) -- so that it's https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_ap-payment&paykey=... instead.
I would like to implement the in-context checkout that enables users to pay for a good and without having to reload another page (other than the paypal payment window) access the content. As I currently understand the process, the client will request my server for the paypal url to initiate the transaction. I will request paypal and send their PAYMENTURL as a response then if they complete the transaction they will be redirected to the url I provided paypal, but how can I then notify the client page that it is allowed to access the content without having them reload?
If you need a clearer example they have a mock website where there is a video playing, at some mark the video stops and then if you pay the video is then fully streamed, however the user did not have to reload the page for those changes to take place.
I see that you don't want to reload the page ,so for example if you want to display the "Congratulations page" as shown in the demo
you could either do :
Do a ajax call , so once the payment is complete, the lightbox is closed and make a ajax call to update the client page.
Once lightbox is closed, display another pop up window to display the "Congratulations page" and prompt user to close it.
I'm trying to get the Paypal in-context lightbox workflow to work with their REST API. I've been following instructions provided here:
https://go.developer.ebay.com/developers/paypal/documentation-tools/checkoutnow/how-to/ht-Hermes-xo
However, the lightbox does not seem to be working. The behavior I see is that the curtain comes up, the modal briefly appears and then disappears.
The REST PayPal payment process is not currently supported to work within a lightbox or iframe.
A bunch of new features are planned to roll out this year for the REST API calls. I'm not sure if access to use the lightbox will be available though - sorry.
I have a Buy Now button which works fine but my problem is that I want to return to my website after the transaction is complete. a link or something so that the user will not type again the url or hit the back button of the browser . Thanks!
Login to Paypal > Profile > Website Payment Preferences
Within here, enable the auto-return option.
Then enter your return URL - your website.
Please note that Paypal requires you to have some sort of text letting the user know that their transaction has completed.
Hope this helps.

When you are configuring or editing your button, you have the option under Step 3 to "Take customers to this URL when they finish checkout."
Using this, you can not only take them back to your website, but to a specific landing page. You can also designate different landing pages for each type of transaction.
Hope that helps.
