[Pro] PayPal Button Action

I have used the new “PayPal Button Action” on my website here:
http://www.printerspie.co.uk/Sanders_Order.html

My postcards have been priced up to include all delivery charges, so I entered zero in the “Shipping” box. For some reason people were charged for delivery at either £1.50 or £2.00 depending on which button they selected. I have refunded their overpayment through PayPal.

To work around this I have now priced all items at 1p less and added the 1p in the Shipping box. This now works but is not really satisfactory.

Am I missing something, or doing something wrong?

Finally, is there a way of making the action open PayPal in a new window rather than losing the page on my website?

Thanks for any help.

David

Hi David,
Log into your PayPal account and go to My Account > Profile > Postage Calculations and set the default values for the postage to zero (or simply empty the boxes).

Not really at the moment. You can work around the issue but it’s a dirty trick…

  1. Make sure nothing on the page is selected and click on the 3rd tab in the inspector palette
  2. In the Target drop down select _blank to open all links in a new window
  3. Go through the rest of your links on the page and set the target for each one to _self

This will open all PayPal links in a new window while keeping your regular links in the same window. Not nice but it’ll work.
Regards,
Tim.

Thanks Tim, both answers worked perfectly. I presume, from what you say in your answer, that the Action is still being improved. Any idea when a new version will be released?

Hi David,
No time scales at present although the fix should be relatively easy to add. I’ll add your suggestion to the database.
Regards,
Tim.
