Ok, so basically im wanting to sell decals on my website...

i have a button created and I have been having to tweak it because there were not enough options from the paypal creator ..

so i have added more colors to the drop down menu....

on the first menu its size=price...

i have added a second drop down below that one which says

"second color?

"yes"

"no"

if they select yes I would like 50% of the first dropdown to be added to cart...example

they choose an 8" decal at $10.66

want a second color

i want the cart to be updated with the 50% addition

so +5.33

I have 10 sizes and prices listed in the first menu....can someone explain how to do this to reflect the cart correctly?

thanks

David

Suggest not multiple posting the same question - you just end up waisting time and efforts of others who may be interesting in providing some help. If everything is one thread, then it's helpful to all.

As for what you have in mind, the online button creator does have it limitations as all it was intended for was generating basic HTML Button Code Forms. What you're looking for has to be custom coded and requires a script to manage the logic.

If you're not a coder yourself, then you're going to need the assistance of a Developer.

If you're into coding your own projects, you first want to start with some of the examples here as they demonstrate how to use PayPal's "discount" variables:

http://ccaples.com/index.php/basic-scripts/examples-i/coupons-using-paypal-s-discount-variables

Next, you would need to see how one selection affects another - this is managed by some custom scripting. Below is an example of how that can be done. The challenge from there is to combine both the one selection affects another and the discount variables. The scope of this forum is not intended to provide folks with free custom solutions but, more to give them a better general idea of what can be done.
