I need to add an EULA / Agreement to shopping cart

[40something]

Hello everyone and thank you for your help.

I need to add an Agreement to my paypal shopping cart.  I am using the button creation tool on the paypal site to create the subscribe button.

The site is a kind of club that meets and the agreement would cover conduct and liability issues.

Preferably, I would like the agreement to appear before final checkout.  It would be great if the user could not check out until they click a box stating they understand the terms.

Im also going to be implementing paypals password management if that matters at all.  I guess I could require the same on the website at the initial login, although I do not know how to do that either.

ANyone have any ideas?

Thanks much,

John

Unfortunately with PayPal's Website Payments Standard there are no features or options to support 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 it.

One option would be to include an Agree to Terms checkbox with an item button.  See the two Agree to Terms examples on this <outdated link removed>

If you need something on a review of a Checkout Page, then you would have to have a custom mini-cart type application developed.   Just for some ideas, here's an <outdated link removed>of a mini-cart which could be tweaked to include what you have in mind.

Thanks a million, I think one of those examples will work.  Heres a couple other questions:-)

1)Can I get a record(screenshot or similar proof) saved to the server automatically? I will be using password management.

2) I am not the primary account holder and am curious if I can create a admin type account.  Much like you do with a hosting company.  I dont need to see balances and similar items but need acces to the button tools ect.

3)I am not getting much help from the hosting company as far as assistance setting up the basic user authentication and password management on a shared Unix plan. Any ideas?(total noob on the server side).

If you can't answer these I understand, you've been a great help so far.

If you can, Kudos.

Thanks again,

John

1.  One method would be to PayPal's IPN feature.   It takes a bit programming but it's intended to return variable values back to you.

2. The Primary Account owner needs to have a PayPal Business Account.  Business Accounts have a feature called Multi-User Access.   Here's the details:

Providing you have a Business Account, you can grant various account access privileges to another person. For example you may have a Business Partner or Assistant or a Developer who only needs limited access to your Account.

To setup the access privileges:

Login to your PayPal Account.
Select "Profile".
Under "Account Information".
Select "Manage Users".
Select "Add User".
Complete the Form.
Save.

When you setup the account for them, you enter their full name, the ID you want them to use and the password you want them to use. Next, assign the privileges and save. You can then logout and test the login ID and password yourself.

Note, the login ID is "not" an email address, it's just a unique user name you make up. The unique user name is used to log in along with the password you assigned.

The privileges listed below are the typical business operations that can be performed on PayPal.

* Send money
Allows users on your account to pay almost anyone with an email address in the countries that accept PayPal, with no fees.
* Request money
Allows users to request that someone send money by email or through invoicing.
* Add funds
Lets additional users add money to your PayPal account from your bank account.
* Issue refunds
Lets your users send a full or partial refund.
* Withdraw funds
Allows the user to withdraw money from your PayPal account to your bank account.
* Cancel payments
Lets the user cancel unclaimed payments for you.
* Distribute mass payments
Lets another user on your account pay large numbers of people using only the recipients' email addresses and the payment amounts.
* Set up recurring payments
Allows the user set up automatic billing cycles for your customers' credit cards or PayPal accounts.
* View balance
Lets the user view the available balance shown on your Account Overview page.
* View profile
Allows another user on your account to view your profile's settings.
* Edit profile
Lets users add, remove, or edit information on your PayPal account for you.
* Discuss account with Customer Service
Gives the user permission to discuss your account with our agents. All you have to do is accept our Account Administrator Agreement after you select this privilege.
* Handle authorizations and settlements
Lets another user perform this task for you daily.
* Activate and authorize APIs
Allows your developer to integrate your website with our products by setting up PayPal secure API credentials and permissions.
* Schedule and download Transaction History, and run Settlement Report
Means when you create a virtual agent on your account, these reports will be run and made downloadable daily.
*Use PayPal shipping
Lets the user buy U.S. Postal Service and UPS shipping labels online and set up shipping charges and tax, too, so that shipping is automated.

3.  As for Password Management.   Here some info on one method.  Some info on login scripts.  And here's an off the shelf application that may be of interest.

And if you need specific help, you can always contact a Developer. You can find a list of them here.

I also need to have the purchases agree to terms before buying.  The examples on the links don't work.  Can you redirect me so I can see the two ideas, Skier?
