  • paypal shopping cart question

    Hi (Beth) all,

    I have managed to install the shopping cart from paypal onto my website www.bubbeesbeads.org and it looks great and WORKS!
    Only one question.................I tried a sample purchase, and paypal asked me for name and password. Could not go further without it.

    DOES THAT MEAN THAT NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO PURCHASE THRU PAYPAL UNLESS THEY ARE REGISTERED THERE?
    YET, PAYPAL SAYS, PEOPLE DO NOT NEED EVEN CREDIT CARD TO PAY...

    Any info on this would be appreciated. Hope I didn't fall for a scam since its supposed to be free...............
    thx, Mindy

    Mindy,
    I just tried it and it worked the way it's supposed to for me.

    They do not need a paypal account - they are given the option to use it if they have it - but to simply use their credit card if not.

    I think it must be recognizing cookies from you and it knows it's your account. See if you can access your site from another computer and try it - it worked perfectly from mine.

    BUT - you did not code any of the different products differently - so when I clicked to add 3 different pairs of earrings - I got to paypal and simply says 3 pairs of earrings - how will you know which ones they ordered? And I probably would have abandoned the order because it didn't detail my purchase. You should go back through and make sure EACH and EVERY add to cart button has the specific info for THAT product - and that it is named to describe THAT product.

        No one said it would be easy :) - However, if you get the code for one - you should be able to then take that code and make the necessary changes to it for each other - like if the name is Pink Earrings1 for one - the other would need Blue Earrings, etc etc - but each pair needs either it's own name or product number - something that matches what it says on the website and describes to you AND to the customer that they have ordered the product they want!

        You're doing a great job.

              The same thing happened to me. I tried the same thing with another browser and it worked perfectly then. It was a bit stressful at first!!!
