Re: How do I email blast a link to purchase on Pay...

Hi,   For this Purpose you could create a payment link in your account. Unfortunately, our system doesn't provide an option to select from a list of items once the customer is redirected to PayPal. So in this case you will need to create a shopping cart link for each event and you will need to include all links into your email.   If a customer wants to buy a ticket he can click on that link, the event is added to his cart and he is redirected to PayPal. If he wants a ticket for a separate Event as well, he would need to click the second link within his email.   I've attached a Screenshot which is showing what you need to do in order to receive the Link instead of the HTML Buttoncode.   To create a Button in the first place, please login to your account and use this link to access the Button Factory.   https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_button-management ...

Hello,   It appears that your account has the new profile Layout and the steps you are reffering to are not working in the new profile pages.   When you click on profile, you will see a box on the left hand site(you see my selling preferences there), below that box is a link which says "See the old/classic profile layout". When you click on that you will be redirected to the old profile and the steps to get your API Credentials will work there.   However, here is the direct link, please login to your account and then click on this link, you will be redirected directly to the section where you can request your API credentials:   https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_profile-api-access   Regards,   Volker ...

Hi,   The whiote background isn't the background of our add to cartButton, this is the background of the gadget/iframe you are created in googlesites. Have a look in googlesites if you can change the background easily within their tool. If not, i am afraid you will need to contact google as i am not familar with googlesites and i don't know how to setup their Product, sorry. ... View more

Hi,   First of all i would suggest to contact the Provider of that Software in order to ask if they have an Option to insert plain HTML Code within their tool. If yes, perfect you will be able to paste the HTML Code paypal provided you.   If no, in this case the only alternative would be to use a payment link instead. You can do that easily by following the steps below:   Login to your PayPal account. Click the Merchant Services Tab. Under Create Buttons click Add to Cart. Fill out the form and Click the Create Button. Click the Email tab an there you should see your generated link for your shopping cart. Once you did that, we will provide you with a link for the Button which can be ioncluded into your site:   Here is an example:   "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_cart&business=YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS_HERE_OR_YOUR_SERCURE_MERCHANT_ID&item_name=YOUR_ITEM_NAME   The steps above are valid for any other Button, except if you add a drop down menu, in this case you won't be able to create a link for your Button. ...

Hi,   You will need to verify the ipn on the paypal server to secure your ipn script. Have a look in the following blog on x.com. That article describes how you can secure your IPN Script:   https://www.x.com/blogs/Robert/2011/08/19/securing-your-instant-payment-notification-ipn-script   Hope this helps. ... View more
