  • Paypal Buttons

    I went into my Paypal account, so that I could create a custom "add to cart" button.
    Once I finished creating it, I got the HTML code which I copy-pasted into my website.
    But nowhere ever was mentionned any "success"/"cancel-failure" URL Link...
    How come ?
    Will this "add to cart" button work without these two links ?

    Re: No "success"/"failure" URL Links in Paypal proper...

    They are called something different in PayPal:
    something like
    return page if payment is successful
    and
    url on payment failure

    Dont quote me but look for similar instructions......................
    Have fun

      Thank you DavidUndAlicia.

      Well, I'll go back there and verify it,
      but I'm sure I didn't see any question related to linking anywhere....
      I customized my Paypal button, then I clicked on "create button",
      Paypal created it, gave me the html code, and that was it...

          I did it more than once, and because I did so,
          I was "accustomized" to find the "success" and "cancel" URL links asked for.
          I was surprised not to find this links question into Paypal proper.
          Hence my question here, in our BV forum...

          This is what I obtained, once my "add to cart" button was created :

          "Vous avez créé votre bouton
          1. Cliquez sur Sélectionner un code pour sélectionner tout le code du bouton.
          2. Copiez le code (CTRL+C sous Windows, CMD+C sur Mac -- ou cliquez avec le bouton droit de la souris et sélectionnez Copier).
          3. Collez le code dans votre propre code (CTRL+V sous Windows, CMD+V sur Mac -- ou cliquez avec le bouton droit de la souris et sélectionnez Coller)."

          Translation :

          "You've created your button
          1. Click on Select a code in order to select all of the button's code.
          2. Copy the code (...).
          3. Paste the code in your own code (...)."

          Not a single time were the "success" and "cancel or failure" URL links mentionned/asked for, and this, in Paypal proper...

              Thank you Carbon Terry.

              I went back into Paypal, to do what you suggested.

              Well, in order to get this "option", I am said to upgrade my Paypal account,
              and they ask me to give them some "customer service number", and so forth...
              Waow, hey, I'm not (yet) a company...(LOL)

              Does this mean that I won't get any "success"/"cancel" URL links soon (if ever) ?

                Paypal doesn't provide the success/cancel links. You have to make the pages and publish them.
                The link would be something like:

                  I know this, Carbon Terry, thank you, but nowhere, in Paypal proper,
                  am I asked (neither givven the oppportunity) to give to Paypal my "success"and "error" URL links
                  (of those two pages I already created).

                  To resume :
                  I watched the BV tutorials,
                  know I need "success" and "error" pages,
                  created them some days ago,
                  went to Paypal to create a multi-options "buy now" button I need,
                  Paypal provided me the html code for the button I created,
                  I copied that code,
                  expecting to have Paypal asking me for my "success" and "error" URLs...
                  NO such question by Paypal, NO URLs asked for...

                  This is where I am.

                    You add this page in your paypal profile under website payment preferences i believe. You have the option to use their page or your own.

                        Well, I've been there anew.

                        I didn't find the option to have those pages built within Paypal or not,
                        but anyway, I already have created them some days ago.

                        What you did here, Karen, is giving me courage to go there again.

                        Once there, I did what Carbon Terry suggested,
                        but before I could do that ("select step 3 -option-"),
                        I upgraded my Paypal account to "premier", which would be "premium" in english.

                        So, one HAS TO have his/her account upgraded to at least "premier/premium"
                        in order to get (in the step 3, which is optional) Paypal asking for "success" and "cancel/error" URL links.

                        Thanks to you all, I've stepped upon one more trouble in my website building path.
