PayPal button return URL
I am sort of new to the whole PayPal payment in my applications. Ive only done this one other time and it seems to work just fine but I cant see the difference that is causing it to fail between my old working app and the one Im currently working on. I gave the Paypal button both the return field and cancel_return field. When I get to the sandbox, I can hit pay or cancel. Cancel goes back to the url I tell it to. When I hit buy it goes to the next (confirmation) screen with a Return to Merchant button that brings them back to the site. It comes back to the correct url but the url variables are missing. Eg.. I have input type=hidden name=return value=http://mysite.com/join/index.cfm?act=ppcomfokey=#orderkey#; But when it comes back to the site it comes back to HYPERLINK http://mysite.com/join/index.cfmhttp://mysite.com/join/index.cfm? Ive looked at the source of the paypal Return to Merchant button and the forms action is indeed the correct path: Action=HYPERLINK http://mysite.com/join/index.cfm?act=ppcomfamp;okey=jw8ahsj3o8dm1mnhttp:/ /mysite.com/join/index.cfm?act=ppcomfamp;okey=jw8ahsj3o8dm1mn Here is the source of the actual button on my site... form action=https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr; method=post input type=hidden name=cmd value=_xclick input type=hidden name=business value=[EMAIL PROTECTED] input type=hidden name=item_name value=Membership input type=hidden name=item_number value=jw8ahsj3o8dm1mn input type=hidden name=amount value=20.00 input type=hidden name=no_shipping value=1 input type=hidden name=return value=http://mysite.com/join/index.cfm?act=ppcomfokey=jw8ahsj3o8dm1mn; input type=hidden name=cancel_return value=http://mysite.com/join/index.cfm?act=canceledokey=jw8ahsj3o8dm1mn; input type=hidden name=no_note value=1 input type=hidden name=currency_code value=USD input type=hidden name=lc value=US input type=hidden name=bn value=PP-BuyNowBF input type=image src=https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but03.gif; border=0 name=submit alt=Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure! /form (Hopefully, all of that stays in a readable format when I hit send!) Anyone see something Im missing? I just cant see why it would cut off the url vars like that. Thanks for any help. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

RE: PayPal button return URL (update)
Actually, I set the other site up locally (the one that worked) on my dev box and it is doing the same thing. Weird. The whole process is pretty useless without the URL variables. Hopefully someone else is seeing this or has seen it before? -Original Message- From: Bobby Hartsfield [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, August 28, 2005 6:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: PayPal button return URL I am sort of new to the whole PayPal payment in my applications.

RE: PayPal button return URL (Solved)
Well that was a fun conversation :) hehe that's what I get for posting on Sundays. Well between now and the olden days paypal has given the option of defining the return method get or post default is get so my vars were dead. For the sake of the archives, use a hidden field called rm to define the return method 1 (or omitted) = GET 2 = POST input type=hidden name=rm value=2 man I miss PayFlowPro and Verisign accounts! -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
