Paypal customisation checkout

Hi,
I want to try and customise some things in Paypal Standard Checkout. With other cart systems this is possible because you can manipulate the API integrated within the cart, however BC seems to be embedded and nothing is customisable..... so frustrating.
Anyway, the idea and the way they did it is contained in this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4283251/disable-shipping-address-option-in-paypal-expre ss-checkout
Can this be done in BC? Does anyone know or has anyone tried it out?
Thanks, hope to hear something.

Yes, the way it was intended.  I'm well aware of all their different payment methods, and if you follow their documentation you'll see they absolutely intend for people to be able to checkout quickly, easily, and securely.  Filling out forms goes against their idea of an "express checkout".
Maybe I'm missing something, though.  Are you saying there is indeed some way to allow people to pay through PayPal without filling out the forms on the website?  If so, please let me know and that will be just fine.  Whether it's PayPal Standard, Express Checkout, Adaptive Payments, or whatever, I don't care as long as it accomplishes that goal.  And, for the record, it's not me that really cares all that much.  It's my client(s) using BC that are requesting this functionality.
Everything I'm seeing, though, requires that the buyer (at least the first time they buy something) has to fill out these forms on the website to create an account within the system.  People simply don't like doing that, though, especially when they already have a PayPal account, and the numbers show it. 
Don't take my word for it, study the Analytics data for a bunch of different sites.  Of course, make sure you have data for some that are done the way I've explained so you can see the difference, and I can tell you with quite certainty the conversion rates will be higher when a true "express" checkout of some sort is offered whether it's PayPal, Google, Amazon, or anything where the user doesn't have to type everything out.
I realize I may be coming off as sort of an a$$, and I don't mean to.  The situation is simply this.  I've got a client running numerous websites.  Some of them are on BC and some are on different platforms.  I showed them conversion rate data and explained this concept to them.  I was then hired and I got PayPal integrated the way I'm saying on some of their other sites. They've been so impressed with the improvement in conversion rates on these sites that they want to migrate to a different platform all together if we can't get this working in BC.  Of course, that's a lot more work and will cost them a lot more money, but they're willing to do so because it's that important based on their own data.
Quite frankly, in my eyes, this is opening up a new market for developers like myself.  I could do the same thing with other BC users and many of them would probably feel the same way, especially with recommendations of previous people like this guy.  I would much rather just find a way to make this happen for people in their existing system, though.  Unfortunately, you guys really don't seem to think it's a big deal, and almost seem to be taking offense to what I'm saying..??
BC is freakin awesome!  I'm not trying to talk it down in any way.  I'm just trying to present the idea that, hey, there's still some room for improvement here, and it wouldn't be very hard at all to get working in this fashion.  Lots of other shopping cart platforms had this same problem at one point, but they've all been kinda catching up and offering this when including PayPal.
I think you're missing the boat on this.  BC is sweet, and Adobe products rule, but this one little thing....ugh.

  • Paypal Express Checkout Integration

    Hi All,
    I have paypal express checkout account. I want to integrate it with my apex application. So when a customer wants to pay, he can just click the paypal button on my app's page which takes him to the paypal payment screen.
    I would appreciate if someone tells me how to add paypal checkout button on the page?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Did you actually read the document or just looked at the title and decided it was not what you wanted?
    Here is the text from the PDF document that talks about Express Checkout on Page 4.
    >
    <p>Integrating with the Express Checkout is a little more involved and requires calling three distinct APIs. You first establish with PayPal that you want to start an express checkout transaction by calling SetExpressCheckout. PayPal responds with a token which you will need for subsequent API calls and a redirect. In the call to SetExpressCheckout you pass a URL as a parameter to tell PayPal where to redirect back to. You then redirect to PayPal and pass the token you received.</p>
    <p>The consumer then chooses their payment option on the PayPal site and can optionally change their shipping address. Once they finalize the transaction at PayPal, they are redirected to the URL you provided in the call to SetExpressCheckout. Two parameters are passed with the URL you provide, token and payerid.</p>
    <p>You create a PL/SQL procedure that has exactly two parameters, token and payerid. This procedure is the URL you pass in SetExpressCheckout to let PayPal know where to redirect to once the transaction is done. The procedure looks up the Application Express session for your application using the token.</p>
    <p>Now that the consumer is back at your site, you will make a call to the second API, GetExpressCheckoutDetails. This retrieves information from PayPal about the consumer, such as their name, email, phone number, and shipping address. Your application can use that information to display a summary page and a Pay Now button.</p>
    <p>Finally, when the consumer clicks the Pay Now button, you call the third API, DoExpressCheckoutPayment. PayPal responds with an acknowledgement and transaction details which your application can store in a local table.</p>
    >
    As for your query
    >
    Then I copied the script in the html header section of my apex page. But the buy now button is being displayed in the top left corner of my page. How can I display it somewhere in the body of the page?
    >
    You can put the script into the Region Source, Region Header or Region Footer to get the position you want in the regions.
    Cheers,
    PS: You will find some good tips here as well http://www.apexskins.com/~andrewro/paypal/Paypal_Website_Payments_Standard_and_IPN_Integration.pdf

  • Paypal - express checkout issue

    My formcentral account Paypal express check out no loger working. I have contected  the adobe formcental suppor team with in last 3 weeks several time,  all I heard is case was escalated to advance support team. So far not a single attempt made to resolve the issue.
    My account ID - [email protected]

    Hi;
    I don't see the image attachments but I think I get what is going on...  I apologize for mis-leading you there, the page I mentioned is the old page, I saw it because of the cookies in my web browser when I tested your form, now that I have signed into and out of Paypal I get the expected new page that does not have as obvious of a "credit card payment" method...
    The reason you have seen two different landing pages is likely the same, cookie based, but none of this is controlled by FormsCentral, it is Paypal.  For alternate payment methods the new page has a "Checkout as Gues" option below the "Log In" button:
    Thanks,

  • Placed order using paypal, bestbuy site crashed, now my order lists someone elses account info!

    Extremely upset and concerned. I placed an order on your website and used paypal to checkout. Was directed to the paypal site where I entered my info. It took me back to bestbuy to complete the order, however your page crashed and took me to a page that said oops sorry an error has occured, but my order still went through. I go to my account and check the order status, and IT IS LISTING SOMEONE ELSES PAYPAL ACCOUNT INFO as my payment method. This should NOT be happening. Tried calling customer service who was absolutely clueless and was of no help at all and would not do anything. I checked paypal, and there is a pending charge for the order total for bestbuy.com so there should not be any problem on their end. Someone contact me ASAP about whats going on. We should not be able to view other customers private info!

    Good morning redspeed,
    Placing an order on BestBuy.com using PayPal should be a pleasant and hassle-free experience! From the sounds of it, your experience has been far from what we strive to provide for an online shopping experience. With that said, it is truly odd that your order would be reflecting another person’s PayPal information, but the transaction still appearing on your PayPal account. I am truly sorry for any confusion or inconvenience that this may cause you.
    Using the information you registered with the forum, I believe I was able to locate the order. I am sending you a private message to gather some details to further research this issue. You may check your private messages by signing into the forum, then clicking the envelope icon in the top right corner of the page.
    Sincerely, 

  • How can you tell if a process step is already being processed?

    Further to my last note regarding assigned a process step to multiple users, how can you determine if the step is currently being processed by another user?  When opening a task which has already been opened by another user, the message "The following action has been opened by another 1 user(s)...."
    I would like to prevent the second user from making any changes to the object if it's already been opened by another user, hence this request.
    Thx!

    Top Right hand corner of the Safari window you will see a padlock. This shows it's secure.
    Otherwise, you are pretty much working on trust. If you want to purchase something online and the site takes you through a paypal based checkout, it's fairly standard practice.

  • How to insert paid video download on my Dreamweaver website

    Hi All,
    I would like to sell my documentary videos and other merchandise through my website.  The site has been successfully published for several years, so publishing it is not the problem.  I need to know what I must do to enable people to download something from my site, but pay for it first.  I have looked at e-commerce extensions for Dreamweaver, and am willing to go that route, but I don't understand the process of inserting a downloadable file on the site.  Is the video file just inserted like a PDF file and linked through an html link?  If I connect with PayPal and have access to their payment source, can I somehow insert my video download on my site without letting people download it for free -- they would go to PayPal and pay and then return to my site for the download? I am working on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.4 and have Adobe CS3 Design Premium with Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, etc. and I AM NOT A PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMMER -- I only work at the basic level in Dreamweaver and know enough to publish my site. Is there a better solution to this problem like another e-commer site for video downloads?  ITunes doesn't handle independent videos.  Thanks to all who reply.  Small Town Gal

    PayLoadz is a commercial solution.  They handle the digital downloads and process payments via PayPal, Google Checkout, etc... for a %.

  • Apple loses hundreds of millions of dollars of potential online sales a year and is oblivious - Why?

    Apple loses hundreds of millions of dollars of potential online sales a year and is oblivious
    how is that? i hear the apple trolls saying??
    Because paypal is not a payment option, only credit card
    (sorry i have used parts of the text in this post to answer some related posts, but this is the full original text i wish to post with this issue);
    you cant use paypal on the store as only 3% of the wortld has a credit card.. and foreigners in Thailand cant get one even if you open a ten million dollar company. They have a policy with the banks that they do not issue credit cards to foreigners. This means that apple loses about 15 movies and 4 albums and 5 apps a week i would purchase, and would have purchased about 150 thousand baht of stuff on the store by now if they accepted paypal..
    There are millions of people just like me..
    You are losing money Apple! do you realize this? and missing out on a potential 97% of potential onlne sales with paypal express checkout.. why? credit cards = 3% of the online shopping population. Paypal please!
    Yes i know in the USA paypal works, but i am in Thailand..
    I have bought a 27 inch iMac, a 64 gb iPhone 5, and a 13.3 inch Macbook Air and an Airport Extreme
    Bought at iStore in Pattaya, Thailand
    the dumbos at the iStore don't know how to advise and would much prefer to buy my next upcoming stuff online which is this list;
    starting with macbook pro 15 (17 inches would have been my choice  if Apple hadn't removed it from the lineup…  what a bad move!)
    iPad with cellular biggest drive space
    macbook air 11 inch 512 gb 8 gb ram core i7
    Loads of movies music games etc all the time from iTunes store anyway continuously
    after which i would purhase within a month;
    two more airports, and a mac mini with an osx server
    apple tv
    mac mini osx server
    A 3 terabyte drive with thunderbolt ss drive
    then within 3 months the mac pro with the full works
    Why is paypal US Only?
    i sell online with 4 stores and do extremely well with paypal
    Im in Thailand and it works perfectly. So why can't apple who are bigger and stronger than little old me as an individual entrepreneur online merchant.
    I have a saved shopping cart here which i cannot checkout or pay, and would buy movies and music in itunes all the time, but cant as i only use paypal Thailand banks wont issue a credit card to even a multi millionaire if hes foreign, so paypal is the only internatiinally trstworthy option
    i am apple user have many apple products but i cant even download a song movie or single app because there is NO way to pay
    there are milions of itunes and apple users justy like me.. think of all that extra money apple and let yourt users actually be able to BUY someting.. not only the 3% of the world with a credit card
    How totally dumb and frustrating it is to see a store that has loads of stuff you want to buy and they are too dumb to even find a way to take my money
    a store totally full up with stuff you really want, but can't buy in any method. Even phne the online assistance can not make a 150 thousand baht sale to me because no way of accepting the money. Seheez if my online store didnt take paypal that would be 20 thousand bucks a month less for me.. and im an individual entrepreneur.. just imagine how many hundreds of millions of dollars apple would make if they had paypal!

    I'm sure Apple would love to hear from you, and you can contact them at the link below.

  • Steps involved in creating an online SHOPPING BASKET / CART

    I am trying to learn how to create a website for selling products online, and I have no idea where to start with the details of adding a shopping cart to a site etc. All I know (I think) is that SSL Certificates are required for the secure page where payment details are asked for.
    So, first of all, could someone please break it down for me in simple terms what I need to know (and do) in order to create this feature on a website. Step 1, Step 2, Step 3..... etc.... I just need to know how it all functions, and then I can ask for more specific help based on each step.
    Many many thanks in advance for helpful advice from those who are skilled and knowledgeable about this setup.

    First, contact your bank to set-up a merchant account.  You'll need one to accept on-line credit cards.
    Second, establish accounts with your payment processing gateway providers like Authorize.net, PayPal, Google Checkout, etc...
    Third, find a cart that
    a) supports your payment gateway(s) and
    b) uses a server-side programming language supported by your web server. PHP/MySQL is widely supported by most commercial hosts. If unsure, check with your host.
    Time is money.  If you crave a full array of shopping cart features and flexibility to customize your cart pages, you'll need to pay.  Cartweaver is very reasonable when compared to other shopping carts in its class.  You get what you pay for.  If your cart requirements are few and you don't have a lot of products to sell, Coffee Cup Shopping Cart Creator might be all you need.  Last time I checked it retailed for under $50.
    Finally, I highly recommend against collecting or storing sensitive credit card data on your site.  If you do, you'll have a hell of time with PCI compliance.  See Payment Card Industry - Data Security Standards guidelines:
    http://www.pcicomplianceguide.org/pcifaqs.php   IMO it's safer all around to pass your customers over to the payment processor's site to complete their CC transaction.  If you do it this way, you won't need an SSL.
    Good luck,

    Hi;
    I don't see the screen shot that you added.  The Paypal checkout page is entirely controlled by Paypal and we have no control over it.  The page changes sometimes, but there is always a link to click to checkout without a Paypal account (checkout as guest) which allows a user to pay via credit card without signing in:
    Thanks,
