cancel and return text

[glen1971]

I am trying to change the cancel and return text i have set a custom variable like below

cbt=some text

but i am still getting cancel and return to the company name

I want to be able to change the text because we want one company to receive payment from different websites. so company a has website b and if the user is coming from website b i dont want the text to say cancel and return to a.

Hope this makes sense and someone can help??

Cheers

After you made the change to the code, did you delete your web browser's cookies, temp files and history before retesting the code?

I am directing the user to paypal using the email link code. The button has been generated on the paypal site with cbt=some new text in the advance variables section. I have tried it using a completely seperate computer but it is still showwing cancel and return to 'company name'.

I am doing it this way because i already have a form to sign up for the website and i only want to link to paypal if they choose a paid subscription which is a dropdown on the form, if not i simply send an email for the user to verify their free account.

Thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

Please forget my last post

I have just gone through checkout as a test and the text does say cancel and return to 'some new text'.

However this is not what i was after i am trying to change the cancel and return text displayed at the bottom of the page before the user completes the paypal transaction, which still states cancel and return to company name.

Is this possible???????

The PayPal Checkout Screens you see are limited to changing the scheme and/or allowing you to display a business logo graphic (Business Accounts only) and/or changing the text for the "cn" variable value and/or changing the text for the "cbt" variable.

The "cn" variable value is a the Label that appears above the note field.   This value is not saved and does not appear in any of your notifications.   If this variable is omitted, the default label above the note field is "Add special instructions to merchant."   The "cn" variable is not valid with Subscribe buttons or if you include no_note="1".   The "cn" variable value is limited to 40 characters.

The "cbt" variable default value is displayed as a link which says "Return to Merchant".   If you are utilizing Payments Standard and have a return page set up, you will find that your non-PayPal members will need to click on the "Return to Merchant" link to be directed back to the return page.   In some instances this may not be the best way to alert customers that they can return to your website by clicking on the link.   The good news you can change the value to what ever you would like.   The "cbt" variable value is limited to 60 characters and only takes effect only if the return variable is set.

That's all you can do.

If you want total control over your checkout screens, you would need to use Payments Pro.   Pro does not redirect customers to the PayPal Checkout Screens.   The customers remain on your web site thru the entire process therefore you can design any checkout experience you have in mind.   (Payments Pro costs $30 a month plus transaction processing fees.)
