Buy Now Paypal with drop down option/price menu

Post by SelfSimilar »

I am new to this product

I am trying to figure out how make paypal buy now button with a drop down menu that the user selects one of six items - each item has a different price.

In fact I want to reproduce the exact Buy Now Button with options drop down menu that I can create in my paypal account.

Could someone please direct me to an example?

Thanks

Have you looked in Form Controls? The following uses add to cart but it should be enough to get you started... If not then it will require custom variable/hidden fields. As it late in the UK (GB) I will try to put up a example tomorrow.
Form Controls ->Form Wizard ->Create a new form based on a template->Next->PayPal - Price Option

Thanks - I really don't need a cart. I just need a "Buy Now" (not add to cart) Button with a drop down menu to select 1 or 6 items with different prices for each item to purchase. Also I would like the credit card etc images that PayPal provides.

In fact I would like to generate the code from my PayPal account and copy/paste the HTML code given in PayPal to a specific location on a given page in the web site.

Thanks

You can use the 'HTML' object to insert custom code.

Understood but if you read the following The following uses add to cart but it should be enough to get you started. meaning if you view the templates code you should be able to use or modify to use with a "Buy Now"

Thank you. I would like to use the 'HTML' object to insert custom code option but I am having difficulty figuring out how to the insert the HTML code at a specific location in the generated HTML code. After the code HTML is generated I cannot seem to place the cursor in the code at the location I want to do the insert. If I use the tabs in the low window of the Page HTML the code is inserted at undesirable locations.

Is there conventional HTML editor mode that will allow me to put the HTML code at the location I want?

BTW - for years I usually code directly in HTML editor - this is the first time I have used a WYSIWYG editor. It seems a bit foreign without an full HTML editor mode - I will eventually get use to this new editor - thanks

Sorry no WYSIWYG Web Builder is not a HTML Editor but a HTML Generator what this means is that the HTML doesn't exist till you publish.
To use the HTML Object see the following:
https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/add_html.html

Since it is more than likely that the PayPal code is a form insert the code into the HTML Object and set using the first selection from the drop down Use <div> to set position and size HTML then simply move the HTML Object to were you wish

Thank you. I will look at the tutorial closer. I read it a couple of time yesterday but I must admit I found the description rather confusing. I will experiment with it today

If you wish I can still upload a demo project using the Buynow and a Combobox with added variables (hidden fields) to show it can be achieved with the tools available.

Sure - that would be helpful.

What I really need is an example of how to take the code generated by PayPal and insert it in an exist page create with WYSIWYG Web Builder. The nice thing about the code generated in PayPal is that all of the details are set to variables required for my account. It would be the simplest approach.
