I am reading through the  HTML Variables for PayPal Payments Standard And it states this, for Item_Number = Pass-through variable for you to track product or service purchased or the contribution made. The value you specify is passed back to you upon payment completion. However, the only thing that is being passed back is this. &Payment=Successful&amt=43.94&cc=USD&st=Completed&tx=####### It does not pass anything else back.   ... View more

Hello, All. OK, I need to add a tempID to the Button. And once the person completes the order and is sent back to my sites ThankYou page. I need that tempID to be in the URL, so I can then have the person create an account on the site. This way if the person is logged into the site, their order will be placed in their account. And if it is a new user, the tempID will be stored in a cookie and then they can create an account once the order is completed. I used to be able to do this years ago, but it seems that PayPal has changed this, at least that is what I am seeing from others that are trying this. Any ideas on this one? Thanks, Carrzkiss ...

That did it. What the issue was, and well, still is. Is there is NO Button option in the sandbox account. So, what I did was log in to the LIVE PayPal, and got the address location and pasted that into the sandbox account. And from there, I was able to create a test button. So, now I can fully test my site. Thanks, GreenGear. Wayne ... View more

PayPal Sandbox - Things don't appear to be working...

Hello All; (On Sandbox ONLY, the button works perfectly LIVE) OK, when I create a Shopping cart button and set it to [Save button on PayPal] It works. However, if I choose NOT to save it on PayPal. (Which I have to do), it does not work. (My story site has over 100,000 items listed, so, there is NO way I can do this without having it show on the site) It gives me the page:  =-=-=-=-=-=Things don't appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later.=-=-=-=-=-= So, what would cause the non-saved button not to work, on the Sandbox, but work on the LIVE PayPal site? Code for non-saved button <form target="paypal" action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" > <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden" name="business" value="PKUIOSZPVGYUO"> <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US"> <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="My Product Name"> <input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="56585656"> <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="16.95"> <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"> <input type="hidden" name="button_subtype" value="products"> <input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="0"> <input type="hidden" name="cn" value="Add special instructions to the seller:"> <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2"> <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="https://www.site.com/Main.asp?Type=Cancel"> <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="5.00"> <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1"> <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF:btn_cart_LG.gif:NonHosted"> <input type="image" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_cart_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!"> <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"> </form> Thanks, all.
