Please help! I have spent many hours on this today - trying desperately to get the PayPal button to work properly on the page. It is only one button. All the links within the PayPal button are correctly configured to the correct pages, i.e. cancelled order page and successful page. However, when clicking on the PayPal button it goes to my search page - not to PayPal.
Any suggestions - this is driving me crazy…
I haven’t clicked the link, and already I can see what might be at issue. You have spaces in your URL (that’s what the %20 means). Get rid of those for a start. Then, make sure that the URL you have applied to your button begins with https:// or http:// (not sure which one PayPal requires for their buttons) so it is a fully-qualified URL. If you click a link that doesn’t begin with the protocol, the browser fills in the current URL as context, so you may be ending up with a URL that goes like this:

I don’t know what you mean by “spaces”, I don’t deliberately put any spaces in. That’s the URL I get from that page - not a URL that I have created, so how do you get rid of the 20% etc?
Regarding the https - I have not had an https before and yet had PayPal on the site. It works perfectly well on another site that I have that’s not made in Freeway and is not https. ??

The issue is that when you have the normal Search action on the page, it takes over any forms it finds on the page and overwrites them to point to the search results page. The Action I wrote fixes this by changing the way the search form works so it doesn’t need to do that.
