I am very frustrated and saddened by PayPal's decision to deprecate the Buy Buttons. They have also decided to remove the redirect URL features for Buy Buttons for both a cancelled transaction and a successful purchase, rendering the buttons no longer viable for my needs. A PayPal representative said that PayPal is in the process of restoring the redirect URL feature back into the Buttons, but "it will take some time." The PayPal rep said I should look into the PayPal Checkout products, so I started reviewing the guides. When I started looking at the integration video that others have mentioned in this string, I turned it off after about 4 minutes. As a non-developer "standard Joe," I understood nothing. I have been looking into other options to of no avail, so if anyone finds PayPal Button and Add To Cart solutions that don't require any code (like PayPal had done for years), please post it here. Something that escapes me is: why would PayPal do this? They receive a percentage of every purchase, so I can't imagine money being the reason. However, I can almost guarantee it is, otherwise it wouldn't make any sense to deprecate the Buttons and Add To Cart Features. Either way, I'm very sad and disappointed with PayPal's direction on this.
