Shopping Cart Checkout info

[jgal19]

It's not possible to edit information required from a buyer on the PayPal shopping cart checkout page, is it?

This solution works great with Payments Standard, but we need the buyer's business name.

Hello jgal19, 

Welcome to the Forums. 

That is correct, you can not edit the information on the buyers checkout page due to that page being hosted by PayPal. 

If you are looking for a better solution you may want to look into a third party shopping cart. Check out the PayPal Partner Directory (make sure you are logged into your PayPal account).

You can include an extra field to be shown along with the button to capture the buyer's business name *before* sending them to PayPal.

See for example code http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8307174/PayPal/WPS/business-name.txt

This may get us by - thanks!  
Any way to require this before going to Shopping Cart?

You could make it a required field using a bit of JavaScript. See http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_form_validation.asp for some examples

(Note: the 'name' (item_name) of the input field would have to match the name you want it to be required for in the JavaScript code.)

Many thanks Rob!
