Change Cancel and Return text

Hello,

Does anyone know how I can change the text on payment page from Cancel and Return to Blue Widgets to something more generic, such as Cancel and Return to previous page?  

 

I have two websites, and the same thing displays on each payment page no matter what site the customer comes from.  Clicking on the link takes me back to the appropriate page (the previous page the customer was on), but the text is misleading. 

 

I am not using buttons, so cannot configure those.

 

Any ideas out there?

 

Thank you!

Unfortunately at the present time with PayPal's Website Payments Standard there are no features or options available to do what you have in mind.

 

With PayPal's Website Payments Standard, you're limited to changing the color scheme, displaying a business graphic logo (providing you have a Business Account), changing the text on the Note to Seller option box ("cn" variable) and changing the text on the "Return to Merchant" link ("cbt" variable).   That's basically it.

 

Regards,

Thanks, Skier. Where do I change the "cn" and "cbt" variables? Are they on buttons only?  I wouldn't mind having the text say "Return to Merchant" instead of "Return to BlueWidgets.com." Can I do that?  I have a business account.  Thanks!

Depends on the type of item button code you're using, "hosted" or "clear text".    Clear text is another term for manually coding your item button.   "Hosted" is the default mode if you are using the online button creator.

 

If using "hosted" code:

In Step 3 of the button creation process look at the bottom you will see "Advanced Variables"
Note the text box near the bottom of the page. There you can insert extra variables.
Insert the "cbt" variable and value: cbt=what ever text you want
There's no HTML extras, just the name of the variable, an equal sign and the value.

You would do the same for the "cn" variable.

 

And you need to do the same thing for each of your item buttons.

 

 

 

If using clear text item button code:

You would simply include or add the following line of code to your
existing button code:
<input type="hidden" name="cbt" value="what ever text you want"

You would do a similar line of code for the "cn" variable.

 

And you need to do the same thing for each of your item buttons.
