paypal custom payment pages....

Hi there,

I'm having trouble figuring out how to create a paypal buy now button that goes to a custom payment page I've set up.

There are no options that I can find when making the button that allow me to specify which payment page to go to.

There are custom variables that I can add. But I don't know how to do that.

Any help would be great!

Thanks,
Andrew

  • Not sure what you mean by this..

    If you want them to click the button, make a purchase and then go to a specific page in step 3 set this option to the page you want them to go to.

    Take customer to a specific page (URL) after successful checkout:


    Hope that helps,
    Joe

    • What I mean is the page that the person goes to when they click "buy now". The page that they enter their payment info on. I can't figure out how to change that page to a custom payment page that I've created in my paypal --> profile.

  • Andrew,

    You need to click "Add More Options" when creating your button. That's where it's hiding... you can select your custom style there.

    Making a Page Style Primary

    When you make a page style Primary, it will be applied to all of your payment pages unless you specify otherwise. To learn how to apply a page style other than your Primary style, see "Overriding Page Style Settings," below.

    1. Begin at the Custom Payment Page Styles page (see "Getting Started," above)
    2. Click the radio button next to the page style you wish to make your Primary style
    3. Click Make Primary
    4. Click Make Primary to confirm your choice

    Removing a Page Style

    When you remove a page style, the payments pages to which the style applied will no longer be customized with those specifications. Instead, your Primary page style will be applied to those pages. If you remove your Primary page style, the PayPal page style will become Primary.

    1. Begin at the Custom Payment Page Styles page (see "Getting Started," above)
    2. Click the radio button next to the page style you wish to remove
    3. Click Remove
    4. Click Remove to confirm your choice

    Overriding Page Style Settings

    Your Primary page style will automatically be applied to all of your payment pages unless you specify otherwise.

    To apply a different page style, select the one you want when creating your Buy Now Button, Donate button, PayPal Shopping Cart button, or PayPal Website Payments button. Just click Add More Options on the button creation page, and choose a page style from the Custom Payment Page Style menu.

  • hmm, I think you just have to press your button. Don't understand your problem too well >.>
  • Hi

    I see the problem .. there is no "Add More Options" option when I am creating a button.

    Have you found a solution to this ??

    • Hi

      My solution to this is ..

      In Step 3 of creating the button (Customise Advanced Features)

      Go to the Advanced Variables box .. tick 'Add advanced variables'

      put in the following :

      page_style=mystylename
      (where 'mystylename' is the name you gave to your custom style)

      Let me know if this helps

  • Maybe you can only use custom page styles for shopping cart buttons, not one-off buy now buttons? I know I have a custom style for my Paypal shopping cart that works as above.
  • Thank you for your post Jared, it certainly has helped me set up my payment systems much more quicker and efficiently! Thank you very much!
