I've set up a subscriptions button on my website, the monthly amount can be chosen by the customer: £5, £10, £15, £20, etc etc... and these all show up fine in the drop-down menu. The issue is that when a supporter clicks on any of these amounts and is taken through to PayPal to complete the transaction, the button only shows £250 PER MONTH. I've deleted the old button and created a new one but no difference. I've tried with two different people buying through their PayPal accounts and they have the same issue.
I don't know what else to try as I'm not a coder.
Thank you,
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hello,
I had to go to PayPal tech support in the end to get the answer to this, but they found the issue and it now works. Such a simple mistake, but it changes everything. I'll post it here just so that if anybody else has the same issue they can find the answer:
We have analyzed your "Subscription" button code and we could find the issue is with same option value used on your button code as below
<option value="support Sophie's writing">support Sophie's writing : £5.00 GBP - monthly</option>
<option value="support Sophie's writing">support Sophie's writing : £10.00 GBP - monthly</option>
<option value="support Sophie's writing">support Sophie's writing : £15.00 GBP - monthly</option>
<option value="support Sophie's writing">support Sophie's writing : £20.00 GBP - monthly</option>
<option value="support Sophie's writing">support Sophie's writing : £25.00 GBP - monthly</option>
<option value="support Sophie's writing">support Sophie's writing : £30.00 GBP - monthly</option>
<option value="support Sophie's writing">support Sophie's writing : £40.00 GBP - monthly</option>
<option value="support Sophie's writing">support Sophie's writing : £50.00 GBP - monthly</option>
<option value="support Sophie's writing">support Sophie's writing : £75.00 GBP - monthly</option>
<option value="support Sophie's writing">support Sophie's writing : £100.00 GBP - monthly</option>
Please replace the same option value's with support Sophie's writing 5.00 GBP (OR) based on your requirement which will solve your issue. Option values should be Unique.
I've changed the option value to a different name for each amount and it now works perfectly.
Thank you PayPal Tech Support for clearing this up for me.
