PayPal Buy Now Button Problem

I have a Photography site that uses the BUY NOW buttons from
the PayPal ecommerce tool kit extension. Each of the "buy" pages
have the same info for purchasing. I recently upgraded to 8 (pc, XP
Home Edition), since then, when I copy/paste my "buy now" table (
which has always worked before), somewhere between the copy and
Paste a number 2 is added to "cmd" on one line of the code (see
below). This breaks the buttons. Even the Buy Now button disappears
from the wizard window as well.
Any idea what's up with this?
Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to give.

You may want to turn off "Rename form items when pasting"
It's under:
Edit -> Preferences -> Code Rewriting

Trouble aligning Paypal Buy Now buttons in table

This can't be that hard to fix, but I'm despite my best
efforts, ie playing around with valign, various combinations of
<p> and <br> tages, I can't line up the Buy Now buttons
better than this :

Can anyone help me out to best get then aligned with the
price?

Figured it out - just needed to place the form's opening and
closing tags outside the <td> tag for some random
reason.

How do i add buy now buttons for paypal on thumbnails in Adobe Bridge photoalbums

I have a series of photographs which i am selling online. I have found Bridge to be wonderful in creating a photoalbum but can't add the buy now button from paypal as I can in Dreamweavers albums

Nor should you. Bridge is merely focused on processing images. Whatever limited HTML code it spits out is solely to the purpose of allowing others to view your image collections online. nothing more. Bridge has no graps of web design. Still, I don't really see your problem. Nothing stops you from copy&pasting different peices of code together or looking for alternate solutions with dynamic JavaScript or Flash based galleries as well as using PHP-based content managemnt systems for spitting out hundreds of pages based on a server template... if you get my meaning: It's more of a problem with your workflow and placing expectations on something that never was meant to be used that way.

Paypal payment processing with Buy Now Button JSC component

The "Buy Now Button" JSC component is having a property postBackUrl which is supposed to run a program to read (and process) the information from the Paypal server about the payment.
Can this be a pagebean? (or it must be a Servlet?) Can anyone give sample codes for this implementation?(It is enough to show how to receive the POST data from the Paypal server)
Any help from anyone is very much appreciated.
Thank you very much.

I used the following servlet to update my database with the information from Paypal. Any improvements (or criticism) to the codes are greatly wellcome !!
public class Payment extends HttpServlet {
public Payment() {
public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
super.init(config);

String paramValue = request.getParameter(paramName);
try{
str = str + "&" + paramName + "=" + URLEncoder.encode(paramValue, "UTF-8");

How can I link the buy now button in "The Geek Shirt Designer" to my paypal?

I'm currently creating an Adobe Muse ecommerce site where the user can create custom knitted hats.
I was going to make this with a seperate page for each of the possible options, but I did the math, and there are over 15,000 different possible combinations! So I figured a system like the one in the tutorial would be very beneficial!
I've used edge animate a fair amount, but an quite new to coding. (maybe 1 year's experience)
I followed the tutorial and think I understand it all, but I don't know how to link the final script to a paypal button.
Would love some help on this! Many Thanks
Ollie

Hi, Ollie-
You can do a buy now button in either by using the rectangle in Animate or by drawing something in Muse. Either way, you'll need to apply a "payment script" that a payment site like PayPal will give you.
Here's something I found that will help:

How do I get the packing slips to print the selections made under a buy now button

So I started using paypal packing slips about a year and half ago, instead of manually copying the info into an excel document version to create the packing slip. I use the packing slips to make sure I have the order correct and done before packing and then printing out the label. For the past year and half if it is a 'buy now' button with drop down selections, I have to manually edit each one to copy and paste the info from the payment notification into the end of 'thank you' text field. and in the process I have to remember to de-select the save button each time so I don't accidently put that info on my next order. Is there a way either with the button itself or the packing slip to select to have it print out the selections made on the packing slip? Given that in a few cases there are several drop downs, I need them all to list. It would save me a little time with each order and more importantly make sure I have the correct information on the correct packing slip. The information is there. just have not figured out how to automatically have it print on the packing slip. For trivia: I have no problem when I send an invoice or have an item with no selections, but for those items that have selections, because most of my items have several similar variations available, it would be really nice to be able to have it automatically put that information on the packing slip.
Thanks for any help.

Could you check your "shrink to fit" and scaling settings? Easiest way is:
tap the Alt key > File > Page Setup
The default would be
* Scale: 100
* Shrink to fit checked (this disables editing the Scale box, but you can uncheck it, edit, then re-check it)
If those are at their default settings, perhaps they do not work well for particular pages? You can use Print Preview to examine how shrink-to-fit works on that page and override it by using a different percentage instead.
Occasionally Firefox printer data gets garbled and manual adjustments don't seem to work. In that case, you can "reset" those printer settings. This article has the steps: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problems_printing_web_pages#Reset_printer

How to us Paypal "Buy Now" in BB web browser

I am unable to complete a purchase using a paypal "buy now" or "Add to Cart" button in the BB web browser or Opera Mini. When I click these buttons I am directed to Paypal's homepage.
I have a BB 8330 with Verizon service
Thanks for your assistance!

Hi and thanks for your support!
I do have a paypal account and when I log in I am taken to my standard log in page with my account history, add funds, withdraw, history, etc options. But no option to complete the transaction, or even any sign that a transaction attempt is being made. (This is all taking place in opera mini browser)
If I attempt to make a purchase in the BB browser I am taken to my mobile paypal account that still has no option or sign of the transaction.
Thanks again! I like all your smiles!

Landing Page with Buy now Buttons for products?

Hi,
I've been searching all morning and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction please.
We have 1000 products on BC and I wanted to create a custom landing style page offering 3 set products that people can click to buy now. ie just a simple buy now button.
I don't want it to look like our normal small or large catalogue but as a separate landing page.
I would like when the customers to click Buy Now or Add to Cart that it adds them to the cart.
e.g
blah blah blah
large image of the item
underneath = Buy Now / Add to cart
blah blah blah
large image of the item
underneath = Buy Now / Add to cart
etc.
I tried using {module_product} inseting the item but it only shows a tiny pic and has no buy now button.
I also tried inserting an actual html code of the products button, but it didn't work either.
<div><img src="/images/btn_addtocart.png" alt="add to cart" onclick="AddToCart(98416,1375845,'',3,'','',false);return false;" /></div>
If I just create them as text is there a product specific buy now button I can insert so that item gets added?
I've seen websites do this with a paypal buy button but then it wont go through our CRM etc.
Any ideas?
Thank you

My routine, as always, has been to do the pages in iWeb and then using iWeb I select "Publish site changes" to a folder locally on my drive. Then, using Transmit (and I have used Cyberduck) I upload the folder of files and the file ending in .html for the changed pages to my server that hosts the site. What you are telling me is that either iWeb is not "publishing" all the changed files to my local folder, or there are files that are located somewhere else within the structure of the site that I have failed to upload.
I looked for paste.css files and found it in the scripts > regions or whatever folder but these are not files that I typically have ever looked for or uploaded when changing a page in iWeb.

Trying to put Buy Now button on my site

I downloaded code for a 'Buy Now' button. When I view my page, I see the code. Will the viewer of my website see code or the button? Is there an extra step I'm missing

The code needs to be pasted into an HTML Snippet...

We want to customize some of our product pages with different colored buy now buttons, but we know that when using the module it is already set, can we create an app to use

We have some items for sale on our site that have a separate buy now button and layout then others. Is there away to customize some of our product buy now buttons through the web apps?

How to change shopping cart Buy Now button?

Hello All,
I've been racking my brain on this one and could really use some help!
Check out the "BUY NOW" button on my website here:
Themes For MuseHome
How do I get rid of the grey/white color behind the text? (it's grey on one browser, white on another!)
I want it to be a solid red button and would like the gray area to be transparent.
I looked in a lot of the css files but can;t figure out which style matches up with this button.
Does anyone know where I'm supposed to go to change this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Jason

Thanks again Alex!

I can `t buy OS X Mountain. A game can buy. When I click on the Buy Now button, this message appears: We could not complete your purchase, the product distribution file could not be scanned. It may be damaged or not signed.

Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy / paste: /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file from the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
Relaunch the App Store. Try purchasing Mountain Lion.

How to style 'Related Products' "Buy Now" Button?

I have been styling my site to the way I want it, but I hit a road block.
I styled the "Buy Now" button on my store with - input.productSubmitInput in my css stylesheet
But it is making ALL the Buy Now buttons the same size...
Now my "Related Products" section is smaller, so I want the "Buy Now" button to be smaller than the regular ones.
How can I achieve this? I can't seem to target the button in my css file for just my Related Products section...
Thanks in advance!
