I am using PayPal's add to cart buttons on my website. when you add an item to your cart it opens a new window and displays the items in your cart. https://www.paypal.com/webapps/shoppingcart My problem is the "continue shopping" link on the cart page is redirecting users to the url I specified for completed orders. In the past, this link would just close the shopping cart window leaving the customer on the page where they clicked the add to cart button. Is there a way to fix this or specify what the "continue shopping" link does.

This is happening to me too! Exactly the same. Where you able to fix the link?

No luck fixing it. Tried chatting with PayPal, the keep insisting it wasn't their page and to contact my website developer. I am almost positive that when I implemented the shopping cart a few months ago it didn't do this.

I'm having the exact same problem, and I just created a button today.

Happened to me too. Just set up buttons a few days ago and worked. Stopped working yesterday and links to a different url on my site.

Yes, I have the same thing

- There is nothing in the HTML code for the button.

 

And when you create a new View Cart button, there are no options for the 'continue shopping link'.

 

It's a fault 'Back end' (in Paypal's secret code) at fault here. Their man on the phone couldn't help

- I have now contacted the Paypal programming specialists, but to reply yet.
