Just found the new buttons page and it is an unmitigated disaster. Even if the designed functionality worked - and it doesn't - the design is truly dreadful. An edit button functionality with no cancel? buttons in random order and no search facility not to mention no First or Last button anymore. and the 'view code' no longer has the email link which is what a lot of Wordpress sites like ours needs.

 

Could it be worse? no, since in its current format, it is 100% unusable.

It is worse. Shipping profiles based on weight will now just produce $0 shipping as the weight variable for PP classic buttons has been removed. If you edit an existing button or create a new one, the weight will be set to zero. Advanced Variables for weight or shipping no longer work.

 

PP support told me this is part of their effort to transition to 'smart buttons'. When I pointed out that there was no notice of this change and the Smart Button paradigm essentially involved modifying my entire website and all products which would take many, many hours, I was basically told I was SOL. I now have to eat about $150 of shipping expense from yesterday's sales.

 

I've used PP since it was created, but I am now done with it. It can't be depended upon and it's clearly not a real business solution.

HI, can you tell us the link? I am facing a similar issue. 

I cannot create a new button with the link below.

Besides, I cannot create a similar button on the page of my previous button. The console of the page gave me the error log below.

What have I done?

1. Clear cookies and cache of Chrome.

2. Update locale and encoding in Account Settings-Website Payments-PayPal button language encoding and more options.
