Hi, I have created a Paypal button for our website. It is for different combinations of CDs, there are 10 options. I have logged in with a different Paypal address to check the button is ok and clicked to buy my selection. When I do this, the order page doesn't show which option I have selected from the drop down menu, it only says 'Bundle offers'. So if someone orders an option, as far as I can tell without actually clicking 'Buy' and completing the sale, I won't know which CDs they have selected from the drop down menu. This is the generated code of the button:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="ARZ6Z62X5K78W">
<table>
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="CD Bundle Options:">CD Bundle Options:</td></tr><tr><td><select name="os0">
<option value="Mirabilia / Three Fires">Mirabilia / Three Fires </option>
<option value="Mirabilia / As turn the Seasons">Mirabilia / As turn the Seasons </option>
<option value="Mirabilia / Runes">Mirabilia / Runes </option>
<option value="Three Fires / As Turn the Seasons">Three Fires / As Turn the Seasons </option>
<option value="Three Fires / Runes">Three Fires / Runes </option>
<option value="Runes / There to Here">Runes / There to Here </option>
<option value="Runes / As Turn the Seasons">Runes / As Turn the Seasons </option>
<option value="There to Here / Mirabilia">There to Here / Mirabilia </option>
<option value="There to Here / Three Fires">There to Here / Three Fires </option>
<option value="Bespoke (tell us in text field)">Bespoke (tell us in text field) </option>
</select> </td></tr>
<tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on1" value="Bespoke combo:">Bespoke combo:</td></tr><tr><td><input type="text" name="os1" maxlength="200"></td></tr>
</table>
