[Pro] PayPal Action inline!

Freeway
1

Having to insert a lot of paypal buy buttons, So, rather than just send customer to paypal page, It appears if I want them inline that I will have to set up one button using the paypal action - copy the code into an instance of crowbar action with say xxx for product yyy for item no. and zzz for price. then duplicate these and fill in the blanks for each item - am I correct? and if so why have Softpress not come up with an easier solution for the paypal button for inline use using a similar method to crowbar?

Thanks Trevor

Why do they not want to send them to the paypal page? If you want to insert the buttons WITH them going to the page, just do html markup item. They will ultimately, be redirected to pay through paypal. Just make " add to cart" items, I think that would help…

I didn’t make this site through FW but similar to what you are looking for. : www.totheforepublishers.com/composerindex

If you click on " add to cart" it brings you to pay pal page with your cart.

Hi Howard

Thanks for your input. Having looked at the PayPal button creator it would indeed be much easier to insert as markup as the button creator will let me insert all I need. Thanks for pointing this out - I have not used PayPal in this way and will be just as easy as the action method.

I see there is an option here to add a text field. Not being a coder, how would I change the code to give me a text area in place of the text field in this example:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="email@hidden">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="GB">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Widget">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="1234">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="10.00">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="GBP">
<input type="hidden" name="button_subtype" value="services">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF:btn_buynow_SM.gif:NonHostedGuest">
<table>
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="Your Name:">Your Name:</td></tr><tr><td><input type="text" name="os0" maxlength="200"></td></tr>
</table>
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_GB/i/btn/btn_buynow_SM.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online.">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>

I would like:

Your Name:

Text Area of say: 4 rows 30 cols

Buy now button

That is all in the creating of the button. You can set that up when creating the name and such. Once it’s created, you can see the code for the button. Just place that in a html markup item. If you are still confused, send me an email ( email is listed in my profile) and i can show you how to set it all up.

You want to setup a table in freeway? Very easy to do. Go on top and look and for “table”. If you want, I can make a video tutorial for you, to show how to do everything. Shoot me an email and let me know if that would be easier for you to understand. It can be confusing through posts

Thanks Howard

All is now well as I managed to get a text field attached to the paypal button. Tested and all OK.

Thanks for your input.
