Continue Shopping Button not working, missing or requesting a new browser window.
( These changes allow better functionality with IE, Firefox and Chrome. )
*** If you are using "clear text" item button meaning not "hosted" or "encrypted".
Modify the Form target line in both your Add to Cart and View Cart Button Code:
Replace the variable target="paypal" with the variable target="_self".
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_self">
Next, include the "shopping_url" variable to specify where the buyer will be returned after clicking the "Continue Shopping" button.
Add this line to your code to both your Add to Cart and View Cart Button Code:
<input type="hidden" name="shopping_url" value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/your_page.html">
*** If you are using Text Links:
Add the following to both your Add to Cart and View Cart Button Code:
&target="_self"&shopping_url=http://www.yourwebsite.com/your_page.html
*** If you are using "hosted" item button 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 "shopping_url" variable and value: shopping_url=http://www.yourwebsite.com/your_page.html
There's no HTML extras, just the name of the variable, an equal sign and the value.
Next, after you have created your "hosted" item button code.
Modify the Form target line:
Replace the variable target="paypal" with the variable target="_self".
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_self">
