Paypal VS htm frame set issue

I uses html frame set for my site: http://mayshing.com/sozotnt/home/HOME.htm

And uses paypal to sell my products (on "donate" page) with the frame set in place. It used to work, but now my customer complains that when they use firefox to order my product they see a blank page. And I tested it with firefox with the newer generated code and the problem still remains. On google chrome it just doesn't work within a frame set (it attempts to load paypal page but stops). However, if I do it only on the direct htm page, it works. http://mayshing.com/sozotnt/home/donate.htm

Is there a way to make the paypal payment works with a frame set so I don't have to redesign the whole site?

Hello sozoministries, 

 

Welcome to the Forums. 

 

Unfortunately, frames do not always work when using PayPal as your payment gateway. The best way to make your checkout process the smoothest is the pop the PayPal HTML buttons in a sperate page. I hope this does not cause you to have to re-design your website Smiley Mad This would be frustrating.

Find the first line:

<form method="post" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr">

 

Replace with:

<form method="post" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" target="paypal">

 

This will force the button to open in a new window.
