New Smart Button

[knightsarmore]

I have used a simple PayPal button on my website for a few years that I created on the PayPal site, that i then used on my website built in WordPress with elementor. They have now updated everything and in not sure how to create one. It only had 3 needed fields, name item/box #, amount. This is not for a e-commerce store. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

The new smart buttons do not resolve the issue. I would like to express my deep disappointment and frustration regarding the sudden discontinuation of support for PayPal buttons with Inventory tracking, which has left me and many other users unable to collect payments on our websites.

We are not developers and we do not have access to resources to pay the services of one. Up until now we have been able to manage the Inventory and buttons without the need  for a developer.

This abrupt change incredibly disruptive to my business operations and has left me unable to collect payments.

I urge you to take immediate action to resolve this issue and reinstate support for this or provide an alternative equivalent solution.

I will raise an official complaint about this and encourage other impacted users to do the same.

This I hope will make PayPal take the matter seriously and prioritize finding a swift resolution.

Thank you

I suggest raising an official complaint to PayPal as the impact of the removal of the Buttons with Inventory tracking has many other users unable to collect payments on our websites. The New smart button does not support an equivalent functionality and requires a developer to implement.

We have already lodged an official complaint.
