Redirect link needs to be "renamed" after payment to PayPal

How do I get PayPal to change the "name" of the redirect link??? Right now, after the buyer has paid for my product, they are given a link "return to xxxx", where xxxx is my email address. It is not intuitive to click on this link. I need the redirect link to say something like "Click here for purchased product". Any ideas out there???

Artgrrl, I have an art website. Do you?

Frank, you're fantastic. I just changed the raw html as advised and published. Now, I just wait to see if it works. Thanks, so much, Scott.

 You're welcome! 🙂

Thx Frank...just to be sure...all ready created buttons, that are saved in PayPal and embedding on my site (I have quite a few)...just to be clear: I can put the cbt= in the advanced field, save, and it will automatically update my embedded buttons? Also, please suggest to the 'button people' there really needs to be a testing mode. I'm really publishing to blind faith until a customer tries to use my "system"....kinda unprofessional for me if I can't check mistakes ahead of time....

 

Hi Artgrrl81,

 

That's right.  One of the benefits of using hosted ("saved") buttons is the ability to edit them without replacing the code. 🙂  That's a great suggestion that's easier than editing the HTML code directly.

 

As far as testing, we do have a Sandbox Environment that allows you to create fake PayPal accounts for sending and receiving fake money. 

 

PayPal Sandbox

 

Sandbox Training Docs are here:

Overview of the Sandbox

 

I know this isn't as easy as having a quick testing mode on the live site to see what checkout will look like but it is an available option that I wanted to mention. I will also submit feedback about having a quick test mode to check live PayPal site buttons. 🙂
