Frequently Asked Questions about Forms
PayPal form
I have implemented this form with the PayPal "Buy Now Button"
I aded a drop down to allow for several options.
Among the hidden fields, there are two items I am NOT clear on :
return?
shopping_url?
If I just have a button on its own, not as a part of a form - it has excplicit titles
Succesful Payment URL
Cancel Payment URL
SO, how do I interpret the above?
Thanks

Re: PayPal form
Yes, I have looked through the manual, but - no answer to my question:
For a Buy now button, the generated script shows clearly this :
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... intro.html">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... intro.html">
But for the multiple choice form combobox, it shows only this:
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... intro.html">
<input type="hidden" name="shopping_url" value="https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... intro.html">
So, in this case - which of the two is for a Cancel page URL?
Thanks

For a Buy now button, the generated script shows clearly this :
Code: Select all
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... intro.html">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... intro.html">
name="cancel_return" need to be turned on in the PayPal (Merchant) account and will only be used if the end user pays via there own PayPal account, they will get automatically redirected back to the shopping page. If the end user has no PP account they are required to click on the link continue shopping which in turn takes them back to the shopping page.
But for the multiple choice form combobox, it shows only this:
Code: Select all
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... intro.html">
<input type="hidden" name="shopping_url" value="https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... intro.html">
Re: PayPal form
Hello again,
Following earlier suggestion here, I created a new page and inserted into it a Paypal template through the Form wizard.
The code here is what was generated by WWB, I DID NOT insert any code from outside.
Please check the page source here : view-source:https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... ntent.html
Cheers

Re: PayPal form
I followed the instructions on the page, I have NO PROBLEM with the 3 individual bottons here
https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... ntent.html
The problem is with the FORM I inserted for the donation option on that page
This is NOT a Buy Now button - it is what the form suggested, so there is a "Button" with a dropdown multiple choices
This part of the page is my problem - it is the result of inserting a New page with the form wizard
Please have a look at the page source
Thank you

Re: PayPal form
I'm sorry, but I cannot see what you have done based on the source code.
The code generated by the form wizard, it just an example. You can fully customize the form to suit your needs.
So, you can add and remove hidden fields.

Re: PayPal form
Hello,
I just downloaded and installed the latest update 15.0.5 and created a new page , inserted a new form using the wizard.
In previous version - at the end, the form was inserted into a layout grid by WWB, but not anymore - why this change?
OK, so I tried to run it in preview mode and PayPal comes up with the following error
You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks.

Re: PayPal form
This is related to a browser cache. Deleting your browser's cache including cookies, temp files and history, then close the browser, reopen it,You have requested an outdated version of PayPal. This error often results from the use of bookmarks.
Re: PayPal form
OK, I figured that out.
I am saying again : My problem is as follows:
1) When I create a "Buy Now Button" In the object options I get a OK URL input and a CANCEL URL input
2) When I creat a form with the form wizard, the button has 2 other URL options : RETURN - I assume this is equivalent to OK, I will decide to what page to return to, probably a "Thank you" page. The 2nd URL is called "shopping_url" I assume that is in case I want the person to be put back to where he started.
BUT - in case, he/she cancels the purchase - where do I tell the object to which page to go?

Re: PayPal form
Hello again,
I just noticed after reading more on the help file that I should be able to ADD an extra Parameter to specify the "Cancel" URL return page, but I don't know the NAME of that extra argument, can't find it on the paypal documentation either.
Hope someone here can tell me
Thanks

Re: PayPal form
But there is no problem, each payment method is different!. And you yourself can add and remove hidden fields as needed!I am saying again : My problem is as follows:
Correct. Note this is only a "Example" that didn't have the name="cancel_return" included in the Hidden Fields, as previously mentioned you can add/remove fields needed or not.2) When I create a form with the form wizard, the button has 2 other URL options : RETURN - I assume this is equivalent to OK, I will decide to what page to return to, probably a "Thank you" page. The 2nd URL is called "shopping_url" I assume that is in case I want the person to be put back to where he started.
You yourself can add this as a hidden Field of the form....BUT - in case, he/she cancels the purchase - where do I tell the object to which page to go?
Code: Select all
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="https://communitylifestyleaccommodation ... intro.html">
Re: PayPal form
Thanks AGAIN, BaconFries,
This works fine, but I have another question.
I did two test transactions of $1.00 each, one for paying Membership, the other is a Donation
But - the Recipient got messages for both as "Alex paid $1.00... " but no mention that one was Membership, the other a Donation
So, how to I add this into the script?
There are Membership options of $100, $50 and $20
But, there are also the same Donation options in the combobox and the Treasurer will not be able to know aht is what...
Cheers

Re: PayPal form
You are using the wrong payment method for a donation.
Code: Select all
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
Code: Select all
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_donations">
Re: PayPal form
OK, that will solve the Donation payment (will that be mentioned in the return email ?)
If so, this will make it easy to determine what payment is Donation, otherwise it will be assumed to be for Membership
But I wonder - in the Item name - I explicitly write the item, why is it not part of the return message to the Merchant?
Thanks again

Re: PayPal form
You should be able to do this with a Hidden Field.
