I have put an view cart Paypal button on my page, but when i clicked on it - it doesn't work. Also i added an add to cart button, which only takes me to the Paypal login page and i need it to go directly into Paypal. Is there anyway of getting around this? I need an expert in html as i am rubbish!

Hi Hmmm, did follow the original 'link' earlier and that's why i posted as I did. However, have just tried it again now and .... I see what you mean .... but the 'add' and 'view' cart now seem to work.

Hi Dragonlance, follow the original link caz72 gave :¬)

FAO caz72.
Your visitors will see a 'security warning' as PayPal's secure SSL page has your non-secure photobucket image on it.

Obviously any type of security warning with eCommerce isn't a good thing!

Hi caz,

I've 'looked' at your code and can see that you have a 'paypal account'...however, it seems to repeat all over the page. I'm having a bit of difficulty unpicking it all at the moment.

Initially, it would seem that you haven't linked 'your important' links to paypal. The image, top right, links to their main page. The 'add to cart' button has the code but you haven't included all your options within its 'form declaration'. The 'view cart' button results in a link to Paypal main page.

The page overall includes numerous references to 'paypal' which actually do nothing and aren't required and repeat endlessly - these can be deleted.

Best advice: the paypal form action must be in one declaration i.e everything must be within the
tags - it isn't at present. This should solve the problem.....keep it simple.

Review your page and if necessary, re-write it to be clearer for yourself to read.

Of course, to view and add to cart, may be additional to the type of account that you have with paypal.

:-)

Hi caz72,

May not be of any help...but do you have a Paypal account?

If you have set up an account, then Paypal provide you with the code to 'copy and paste' into your web page including a choice of 'buttons'. Is this the case?

Something like this........

<form 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="******">


etc etc
