For www.fairwayvillascorpus.com - Please note the PayPal buttons already set.

For the: 1 BD / 1BR, 2 BD / 1&2 BR, and Penthouse, I want to add:

(1) A $25.00 one-time reservation and booking fee for all units.

(2) A one-time cleaning fee: $50.00 for the 1 BD / 1 BR, $75.00 for the 2 BD / 1&2 BR, and $100.00 for the Penthouse.

I do not want to merely add these costs to the total price as it will drive us higher than others, but I do want it reflected (and charged) as separate line-item charges at checkout.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Unfortunally the "handling" variable won't really work for your needs as it will appear as a shipping charge on the PayPal Screens. What you need to do is use the "upload" method, this will allow you to pass multiple line items to the PayPal Checkout Screens. Here's a few tips:

• The "Upload Method" allows Developers to create third-party shopping carts that are compatible with PayPal and Website Payments Standard. 

• This method functions differently from the standard PayPal Shopping Cart as you cannot change the item quantities on the PayPal Screens. 

• It's intended design is to pass more than one line item to the PayPal Screens through the use of a single submit button. 

• The standard View Cart Button will not work when using the "Upload Method". 

• There are specific variables intended for this purpose. 


 The required button code variables are: 

 "cmd" with a value="_cart"
 "upload" with a value="1"
 item_name_x
 amount_x
 quantity_x


 Where "x" is the number of the item added to the cart starting from 1.

And here's an example of what can be done:

Add to Cart Example - Uploads 3 Line Items.

<br><br><br>

Notes:
<br>
This example uploads 3 line items and includes the Shipping, Tax and Option Variables.&nbsp;&nbsp It provides a good general idea of how the coding works.
<br><br>
Tip:&nbsp;&nbsp; Note, the "shipping_x" override variables are used with each item.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you choose not to include a "shipping_x" override variable with an individual item, shipping will be applied from your Account Profile Shipping Table.&nbsp;&nbsp; If you only want shipping associated with one item and don't want any shipping fees coming from your Account Profile Shipping Table, set the value for the other "shipping_x" variables to "0" or "0.00".
