The problem is that I do not want to use FORM for paypal buttons and also I do not find a way to change default paypal button which is embedded in form html code. I would like to use encrypted paypal button as simple text link.
I have tried to just copy all form variables and build url with parameters like
https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&encrypted=-----BEGIN PKCS7-----MIIIWwYJKoZIhvcNAQcEoIIITDCCCEgCAQExggE6MIIBNgIBAD.....
Unfortunately it do not work. Maybe someone has solution?
In the BMCreateButton API call, instead of BUTTONTYPE=ENCRYPTED, set BUTTONTYPE=HOSTED. It will be the same security-wise, but it would also return an 'EMAILLINK', which you could then use.
BUTTONTYPE=ENCRYPTED unfortunately will not return an EMAILLINK.
Additionally, if you include the full encrypted text inside your link, you may well run into a LimitRequestLine limitation in Apache (default: 8190), depending on your Apache configuration.
It's just much, much better to keep the URL as short as possible.
You copied the link wrong. It will work fine.
However, a hosted button is much much much better. And editable via the ButtonManager API.
I had the same issue, I urlencoded the encrypted value and it worked. I hope this helps for anyone else having the same issue that does not want to use the API to make hosted buttons.

In using SQL server it will fill out the details page but we like it to be able to change the "value" in the following line : .

Thinking about this more, you're probably going around this the wrong way. There is no reason to store hosted button IDs in a database; such buttons exist for limited HTML-only websites.
Since your website is not limited to HTML, dispense with hosted buttons entirely and render buttons using a standard PayPal Checkout integration, which uses the JS SDK (and can optionally communicate with a backend to create and capture an order--see the full stack example in that guide, the backend routes of which can be implemented in whichever environment, .net in your case)

It works fine for me using chrome, and a buddy using FF says it works as well. Doesn't work on IE at all. All I did was copy / paste the button code from paypal and put it into my footer. Page I'm getting says: Error Detected; Some required information is missing or incomplete. Please correct your entries and try again. Help?

Looks like this is related to PayPal button code protection.
By default PayPal button code has a hidden field named encrypted that contains all information about payment in encrypted form.
When Remove code protection link (located above textarea with button code in PayPal button generation page) is clicked different code, containing many fields in plain-text form is displayed.
I have faced situation where protected (encrypted) code had this issue, but unprotected code worked without any issues. NB Using unprotected code may result in decreased security - by modifying unprotected button code users can make payments with changed currency, purpose or reference ID. Besides spambots can easily pick up e-mail from unprotected button code if email address is used instead of secure merchant ID. Also it is recommended to ask PayPal support for other possible issues that may arise from using unprotected code.

Above code is a auto generated subxcription button code from my sandbox account.
It is working file with subscription in sandbox. I mean after the subscription complete it is showing right data in my sandbox account with the subscription information. But the problem is when the subscription is done and user got back to site is having a auth get parameter with it. like
http://my-site.com/this-subscribe-button-return-url.php?auth=[auth_code_from_paypal]&form_charset=UTF-8
Actually My return url is like the following
http://my-site.com/this-subscribe-button-return-url.php?status=success
I have my ipn enabled and its pointing to different url than return url.
What is this auth value? and what am I supposed to do with it?
I want the whole subscription data posted back when somebody completes his subscription process to a certain url (like notify_url). I have already set my notify_url in my ipn settings.
Please somebody give a proper solution to these problems. Thanks in advance.
How are you wanting to get the information back, or what method are you trying to use? If you wanting to get the information back and validate it, you want to use PDT. This will allow you to validate the information that is being sent over to you as well.
I have a form on my website. When this form is submitted ( to the same page ) , a file is uploaded and all the details in the form are entered into a database. Next thing is we need to redirect to paypal for payment. Whats the best way to design this?
My form has the following fields:
name, email, password, attached file
PayPal Submission form is like this
<form id="frm_paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="JDEC8Q72KAYRN">

<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
Note:
I am not being able to redirect to paypal with post data using header('paypalurl')
Ya you cant redirect using header() because you've already sent headers to the page.
So basically, what you can do is gather all the data you need to save in the DB and when they click 'Sign Up' send them to a 'Confirmation Page' that says "Please confirm what you entered, press Pay Now when ready". So it adds an additional click, but its a familiar flow for most checkout processes, so it shouldnt be inconvenient really.
i know this question is old, but maybe it helps someone who comes across this like myself...
alternatively, you do not output any form fields but do a header redirect like so
header('location: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?'.http_build_query($varsToSendtoPaypal).'');
i know in the paypal documntation it is supposed to be a post request, but I have - as yet anyway - not have had any problems doing it this way (and it saves that additional click)
just a suggestion though
