My question is this - is there any way to create a paypal button which allows the customer to enter the value of the amount they wish to pay. I do not wish to use a 'donate' button because it is not a donation situation - it is a sale of a product.
Example: I have an ethically produced environmentally friendly product. The base price will be $10.00 (for example), but I would ask and allow people to pay/contribute more if they wanted to in support of the ethical/environmental aspect of the product.
So one customer might want to pay $11 while another might want to pay $13.
Is it possible to allow this to happen with any type of paypal button - excluding the donate button.
Thanks

Yes, this is possible, but what you'd need to do is have a system by which they would enter their price on your website (and obviously you can check it's >=$10) and once they've entered a price, you would create the button code using the price they've specified.

Is the a way to make the paypal button interact?
I know that it is the possibility to set a stocking for the single product, but what i need to know is if it is possible to create a grouped product that change the stocking values of the others.
(example: if i buy the product a that has a 25 pieces stock, it will low the stock of the product b too)

Yes, you can track your inventory with PayPal buttons. Refer to the link below for the guidelines on creating Yes, you can track your inventory with PayPal buttons.

a button on your account.
I am wondering if there is such thing :
when a vistor clicks "Pay" button (placed on my site) - on Paypal site during payment there will be several options to choose from. Something like three radio buttons
Pay for one month
Pay for three months
Pay for one year
so in order to pay a user should first select which option to pay first.
Again - I just would like to know if such posisbility exists. I know how to set this up on my own site.
Thank you
That wouldn't happen on the PayPal site, but you can certainly get that done on your own site/application. Build in the logic and interface for them to choose what they want to pay and what schedule to do it on, and then you can use the corresponding PayPal API to get it done. Specifically, I would recommend the Express Checkout API.
I see in PayPal how to make a Buy Now button. However, the code behind that is a form that POST to PayPal. Is there a way to create a link to a PayPal payment page with all of the relevant information (e.g. item name, price, custom customer fields to request, discount coupon field, etc.)? I want to be able to include this link in emails/SMS. I only have one item to sell and it's for a certain price, unless a valid discount coupon is applied, then it's for a set lower price.
I will want to put a Buy Now button on my site to do the same thing, but I do need a link I can email/SMS as well. Is there a way to do this?
Yes, PayPal website payments standard URLs work via either GET or POST, so you can take the same variables and put them in the URL string. So for example:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=foo#yourcompanyhere.com
However, I'm not sure if this is an "offical" feature; while it has worked for at least the last dozen years so I would be comfortable using it in an email, I would recommend keeping your primary website integration using form posts.
We are using express checkout on paypal and the problem is the customer can't submit his/her details without providing a phone number. I think it should be optional, no one really want to tell his/her phone number. Is there any way to turn off this option?
update: This problem occurs only when the customer wants to pay by credit, debit card without logging in their account.
Yes, go to Profile in PayPal and click on My Selling Tools. Click update next to Website Payment Preferences. Scroll down to Contact Telephone Number
When you activate this option, your customers will be asked to include
a Contact Telephone Number with their payment information. Learn More
Note: Selecting On (Required Field) could have a negative effect on
buyer conversion.
If your profile view is different, let me know and I will provide the directions.
Is it possible to modify the currency list in PayPal. I would like remove some currencies.
There is a list of currencies in Pay Pal. See the currencies here: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/dmo/demo_mc_1-outside . One can accept/pay in more than one currency.
The way to cancel or to stop using one of your currencies (or to make a currency disappear, if you wish) is to click on the "Currency converter" link (on the right to your main balance figure/number (where the amount of money you have on your Pay Pal account is written) - and that will take you to a page with your available active currencies, there select one and deactivate.
There's no 'currency list' in PayPal.
