Online order form with Paypal - 4/19/2007 13:26:20
I need to create a page that will allow users to order a report online. I will accept payments through Paypal. Paypal online purchase buttons do provide for extra information to be sent along with the order, but the problem is that there is a lot of information I will need and it's more variables than Paypal allows.
I could create an online form that would guide the user to give me the information I need, but then it becomes two processes that the user must go through -- entering the required information AND submitting the payment to Paypal.
I suppose I could just create a 2-part purchase process, where submitting the information on page-1 would lead to page-2 with the Paypal button. But I'm wondering if there's a way I can do both with one click of a button?
I imagine Javascript might do something like this, but I'd rather avoid it since I don't know enough about it to create a script for it.
Any ideas? Thanks!

I think you're either going to have to look at Javascript or, more probably, a third party cart that will integrate with PP and will do the fancy extra stuff. I don't suppose something like Mals ecommerce or Roman Cart would help?

Can you not utilize the transaction return page from paypal? Just designate that the return page (after the payment) is sent to whatever URL your info form is at....
just a thought!
best of luck...
