Can I make a Buy Now button that is NOT a hosted button

I have a site where I'm making buttons for users. I want to be able to make old style buttons where I'm just sending the paypal email, amount and a return url.

Can I still make these?

It used to look like this:

<FORM METHOD = "post" NAME="f1" ACTION = "https://www.paypal.com" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" target='_blank'>
<input type='hidden' name ='business' value='test'><!--AdOnlyPayPalEmail-->
<input type='hidden' name ='no_shipping' value='2'><!--2-->
<input type='hidden' name ='return' value='https://lfred.com'><!-- -->
<input type='hidden' name ='cancel_return' value='https://lfred.com'><!-- -->
<input type='hidden' name ='cmd' value='_xclick'><!-- -->
<input type='hidden' name ='item_name' value='3267 - Stock No. errr 474'><!--order_number short_item db_id -->
<input type='hidden' name ='amount' value='55'><!--AdOnlyPayPalEmail-->
        <input type='submit' name='_xclick' value='Go To PayPal' class='selectClass'>

Yes, just select the email address in the options, not the merchant ID and export code, in the button maker in Tools menu then you replace the email address.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂

this won't work. i need to have different email addresses. 1 for each of my users. you're suggesting a hosted button which is coded with my email. i don't want it coded.
