Since the 29th March 2017 change to PayPal buttons, our button links have stopped passing the amount variable.
Below is an example of the link that we send to our Volunteers (when we are collecting money on behalf of our Community Based Organizations):
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=R6S773THAWR8J&amount=12.8&item_number=1945&item_name=Community%20Initiative%20For%20Integrated%20Rural%20Development%20Volunteer%20Deposit%202017-08-19%2000:00:00%20to%202017-09-04%2000:00:00
In this example both the 'amount' and 'item_number' are not being passed to the PayPal payment page - see screenshot below:
What is going wrong / what has changed?
The amount and all other variables change for each Volunteer (based on the price set by the Community Based Organization) - so I cannot set this within the PayPal Button. I need to be able to 'set' the amount within the URL like we have done in the past. Is this possible? If not, how else can we do this?
