Integrating PayPal buttons into site

1 Views

I am trying to integrate PayPal buttons to a website. It was a really tough job making such a big number of buttons but I some how did it, but now I see that some of them work while some of them do not(and go to PayPal's homepage.) I am unable to determine what would have gone wrong which has caused this error.
The code was very big to fit in here so I am sharing to forms, the first one works while the second does not. 

 <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="xxxxx">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Sumission Order 1- 3 articles ">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="xxx">
<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="tax_rate" value="0.000">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="0.00">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF:btn_cart_LG.gif:NonHostedGuest">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.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.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"></p>
</form> </p>
<p>Sumission Order 2- <strong>5 articles</strong></p>

  <form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

  1. You have changed the names of the inputfields in the second form. These are the variables that are send to PayPal. This means you are now posting other variables; PayPal does not understand cmd2 for example, but it understands cmd. So rename the inputfields inside the second form to cmd, business, lc, item_name .. etc and it should work.

    BTW It is not illegal to have duplicate names in html-tags, only duplicate ID’s are not allowed.

    Success!

  2. Since your buttons are in different forms, you don’t need to mark your input’s name with number at the end. This violates PayPal’s convention. Change cmd2 to cmd, etc.
