how do i create donate buttons using paypal premier account?. i couldn't find donation button creation link, how can i do that?.
Is there any special procedure to get donation button?
donate button option does not appears if user logged in, so create one without loggedin and change that code to match to registered users code like emailid and so on. But i dont know this is right or wrong. I used this method for one project and it works fine.
I got to it through this link and can see Donation as an option in the "Accept Payments For" dropdown.
If someone still needs this, then you'll find the buttons under the Merchant Services menu item in your profile. Click on the menu item and then you'll see "Create Payment Button for your website" in that page. Clicking that link, you'll be able to create your button (any type).

I use PayPal smart buttons for integrating payments into a website, following this live demo
I have two problems with the "Debit or Credit Card" button:
It is not always working, when I click on it, the fields are expanding and shown on the same page (my server) and after entering all the info and click "Pay Now" I get message saying "Something went wrong, we will take you back to checkout so you can try again" when I click on "Try again" button a new tab opens for processing the credit card payment on PayPal server (now it will work).
this happens ~50% of the time.
It is related to the first one, the first view (when fields expanding on my site page) it lacks the address fields however they are shown after clicking "Try again" and go to the PayPal tab.
So my question is, can I unify the way that the credit card payment view is shown? Is there a parameter that I can pass while rendering the buttons that makes it always open in a new tab?
The message "Something went wrong, we will take you back to checkout so you can try again" will happen when there is a decline. As you are apparently testing payments yourself, you can expect many such intentional declines by PayPal. They aren't considered a technical or integration problem, but the system behaving as designed.
There is no way to make the black Debit or Credit Card button open a new window. You can disable it if you don't want it, but you can't make it behave differently.
When there is an error or decline using that Debit or Credit Card path, and you click "Try again", it is the same as using the top PayPal button. That is the fallback path.
I would like to include PayPal recurring donation buttons on my website so that users can donate to other nonprofits/charities of my choosing. My website would include many of these buttons, and all money would be sent directly to these charities. How would I go about this? As far as I know, one can only create donate/subscription buttons where the money goes to the creator of the button. Thanks!
When you create the button make sure to uncheck the option to save the button at PayPal, which would bind it to that account.
When you do that the HTML code provided will include a "business" parameter that would be the email address of the account the profile should be created with and the money should drop in to.
Another option would be using the Express Checkout API, with which you can specify the account the money should go to with the SELLERPAYPALACCOUNTID parameter.
I'm working on a website where the users can create listings like in a regular classifieds website.
My concern is that if a user wants to feature his listing on the website, he has to make a payment via Paypal (IPN). The problem is that when the user completes the payment, the paypal payment confirmation page will give the user 2 links at the bottom of the confirmation page. The first one is "return to your website" and the second one is "view your paypal account".
If the user clicks the first link it will trigger the featured option and make his listing featured. However if he clicks the second link the user will be sent to his paypal account and will not trigger the featured option.
My concern is that users who will click the second link will pay however will not get the service they paid for. This portion of the website was done by my developer and he said that it would only work if the user clicks the "return on your website" link.
Would you guys have any suggestions or help on how to resolve this? If Paypal did not show the second link it would resolve this pb.
That's what IPN is for. If you enable it, PayPal will send you a payment notification. You should enable the feature for the user when you get the money, regardless of what the user navigates to.
I have two sandbox paypal accounts: buyer and business(seller).
Recently i added a generated html from paypal as "Buy Now" button and it seems to work great.
Now i want to add sandbox button to test the process but after logged in to my sandbox account i cannot see any option to create payment button like had in my regular account.
I already read the paypal developer docs for sandbox but i do not see the "Create paypal button" anywhere.
It sounds to me like a simple issue and i cannot figure out why it is not easy to find.
You can access the PayPal button creator/manager from the Profile settings in the sandbox account. I've also included the direct link below:
Create a new button: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_button-designer
Manage existing saved buttons: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_button-management
I hope this helps!
After login sandbox.paypal.com, open this link: https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_button-designer directly, you will see the create button page.
I have created my own Buy Now button where the amount is entered in a text box on my web page by users. My Paypal id hard written in this form. Is it possible to save this button in my own Merchant account?
Use the Standard Integration Wizard to create your button. Step 3, I think it is, in the process asks if you want to manage inventory for the button. If you click into the details for that one you'll see it has a check box for "Save to my PayPal account" which should be checked by default.
When you create a button with this option it gets saved in your button manager and can be adjusted in the future if you want.
If you're familiar with web service API's you can also use the Button Manager API to generate buttons that are saved in your account. If you're working with PHP my class library for PayPal will make that very simple for you.
