'Continue shopping' issues

Created Paypal buttons with the continue shopping url entered in appropriate fields.

Add to cart button works OK, opening Paypal cart in a new window when clicked. But when customer adds to or removes items to cart and/or clicks 'continue shopping' the page just refreshes instead of returning to my web page?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, can you try to add in your hosted button the shopping_url ? It is "The URL of the page on the merchant website that buyers go to when they click the Continue Shopping button on the PayPal Shopping Cart page." and you can find here at this link the reference.

Hi, thanks for your reply.

 

I've made sure all my buttons are set up with my home page url entered in the field for continue shopping.

This works after a purchase is made, or if the order has exceeded the number of items available.

However, if customer removes items from cart and clicks the continue shopping button, it refreshes paypal window only.

 

I can live with this issue, as my site needs to go live now. Just thought I'd pass on the feedback.

 

Thanks.
