I'm offering a backlink building service and I'd like to just offer a simple form on my site where the user can enter their:
Website they want me to rank
And 1-2 keywords they're looking to rank for
And then a simple PayPal button that directs them to where they can pay.
Does anyone have any resources they can point me to to capture that information, maybe even their PayPal email, once they make a purchase?
Are there any plugins or code anyone knows of that I can just swipe and modify with my form fields?
I know this has to be possible I just don't know what to type into Google to get more information.
Thanks in advance.
Basically there are two parameters that comes to my mind that you could use custom & no_note
custom is a parameter that you can use to collect the Website they want me to rank information and regarding keywords you can use no_note(but this has to be entered by the buyer in PayPal checkout page.Alternaltively, you can use `custom' parameter to append both the information and then make a payment.
Sample Form Code:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="XXX#gmail.com">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="test">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="1.00">
<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="website_rank+keywords">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="paymentaction" value="sale">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
Now, how to get this information after the buyer completes the
payment?
Use Instant Payment notification. and look at the IPN variables that you can get back

I am trying to use Paypal shopping cart in my web page:
<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" >
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="xxx">

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="30.00">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="My Event Registration - Child">

This code is mostly generated using PayPal Payment Button helper on PayPal's website.
It seems PayPal's website generates code only for a single item. As I needed two items, I added another item using input fields item_name_1 and amount_1.
When I click on the submit button, I am properly taken to PayPal's shopping cart. However, I see only one item in the cart. I was expecting to see both, Registration-Adult and Registration-Child, in the shopping cart.
I am wondering what is it that I am missing. Regards.
It seems the hidden field "add" can only add one item. You could use "upload" instead. However, in that case PayPal's shopping cart page does not get displayed. For our case, the shopping cart has to be shown so that users can change the number of items. My solution was to actually have two forms instead of one in the same webpage. This works. The only drawback is the user has to click on two buttons instead of one.

I have been trying it for weeks but no luck. what i have done so far is created two accounts on developer site then with business account i created donate button whose code is above.I pasted it on plain html page and it directed me to
https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&SESSION=bnXFinACSxCb1ODnXhGUvOIt9PAh_P89ZBULZpUJW...
where i entered my buyer account but i dont know why its keep sayiing "Please check your emai and password" . i have checked it hundred of times but i dont know why its not accepting this.Please help me , I am in big trouble.
Finaly after trying for weeks I found the solutuion.The four point in this https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/ht_test-pps-buttons/ tutorial is wrong. You dont create a button like that for testing purpose but rather go to profile>selling tools>create new button . Probably it will be helpful for someone..
If you are trying to tested this with your test buyer accounts, your seller accounts also needs to be set up in the sandbox. The above code is pointing to the live site "www.paypal.com", if you are trying to use your test seller and buyer accounts, the URL needs to be "www.sandbox.paypal.com"
I need to implement a method where we can allow a clients customer to make a payment to the client via our website - all of which will be setup via our custom CMS.
Our initial plan was to use the following form script to generate a transaction and ask the client to add a return address to our website.
<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/uk/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="someone#someon.com">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="2 x sessions">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="50">
<input type="image" class="btn btn-default nom paypalBtn" src="" border="0" name="submit" alt="£50">
</form>
This would potentially work fine - as we could dynamically add the value, business email and item name. Though we are worried that any web savvy person could simply inspect the form in a browser and change the payment value to a more pleasing figure! So we feel we need a better solution.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a cleaner solution?
Log into your PayPal account, click on Merchant Services at the top of the page and then click one Create Payment Buttons for your website. When you create buttons on PayPal they are hosted and secure.
I've got a donate page on a website I'm building for a charity. On the page they want to have two options: 'Donate' and 'Donate monthly'. These buttons should take you straight to the donations page on PayPal, however the client wants the 'Donate monthly' button to make the 'make this recurring (monthly)' box on the paypal site itself, pre-ticked.
Is there a way to do this by passing a parameter? Either via Query string or hidden input. Here is the code as it stands at the moment:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="paypal#clientemail.org">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Client Name">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="Donate">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="EUR">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-DonationsBF:donateBtnPaypal.png:NonHostedGuest">
<input class="btn shorter diavlo book" type="submit" value="Donate monthly (€)" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" >
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
What you could do is switch to the Express Checkout API. This would give you the ability to design those options into your own UI and pass it all over to PayPal however you want to.
If you're working with PHP my class library for PayPal will make it very easy on you. Specifically, you would be using:
SetExpressCheckout
GetExpressCheckoutDetails
DoExpressCheckoutPayment
CreateRecurringPaymentsProfile
No, its not possible to make it as default option "Make This Recurring (Monthly)"
I am using the following code to generate a "Buy Now" button for selling a single item.
It takes me to PayPal using the sandbox and does the payment but after I return nothing is received in the response (there is no extra parameter in the URL I get).
<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="steve.johntestemail#gmail.com">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Book_1">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="0.09">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="button_subtype" value="services">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.thequeenoflean.com.au">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF:btn_buynowCC_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
</form>
Will I get the data in get or post?
Actually I want to retrieve the email of the buyer and some other information as well.
Can anyone guide me what my mistake is here?
Thanks in advance.
i tried sandbox, live Paypal payment scenario but it was not working,
i tried so many tutorials but the steps mentioned in those tutorials were not working,
finally i got the reason:
i was trying to use Paypal from asian country where it is not supported and works abnormally,and that's why i was not getting response in return. if you use any other VPN with for example(american, Australian etc.. ips where it is supported) it will work fine and return you response accurately.
Thanks,
I know a reason why you're not getting any information.
take a look here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/11404356/279147
you see I have a notify_url parameter in my form, this is a url which will be called by paypal when the payment has been completed, whether it succeeds or fails.
the url is not opened by the browser, popups, etc, it's a "back channel" call to your server to just send data, there is no interaction with the client, so don't put any html, or return anything, it's just a "dead drop" url to dump data, if you put something like
<?php trigger_error(print_r($_POST,true)); ?>
in your code, your error log might show up some information, so then you know you are receiving information,
you're missing that, so you never get any information, unless the user clicks on the return to website button and in my experience that never happens. they just close the browser.
so take a look at my url, add the parameter and then try to do it again.
