How to make a PayPal link

Discussion in 'PayPal' started by boron, Jan 15, 2007.

    Is it possible to make a PayPal link which points directly to your PayPal account? To send it to someone and say: Pay me via this link. This is not ment for fix amounts but for any amounts and for use in mails, forums (not for use on a site).

    Umm,I think that's what he needed.
    But not a button, a direct link.

    Also make sure the button will be generated in unencrypted form or it will not give you the link option, just the website button code. Click No to generate it in unencrypted form. The link can be easily adusted to be used for different amounts later on. Leaving the amount value empty will work as well, adding an amount field on the payment page. Very convenient when you don't want to be editting links for every single payment.

    Hope this helps.

    Your right!
    I just tried myself..First click "donations" then scroll down to the bottom saying 'Click Yes to encrypt your payment button.' ,choose NO.They'll give you a direct link later on.

    So:
    Paypal.com > Merchant tools > Donations > Enter details without amont specified, without buyers country specyfied and choose "no" encription.

    It gives you button and hyperlink. Excellent.

    When generating unencrypted buttons, Links for Emails are given, too, underneath the button code. Use that to create hyperlinks. Encrypted hyperlinks that would replace buttons with text are not possible I think.

    Yes, I clicked "no" for encryption and I got hyperlink. It's pretty long. I guess I can use this link in forums post also, right?

    OK; I tried, it works.

    It seems that you post something but it gets hidden by default.
    You'd better no do that,just my suggestion.

    Hidden by default? OK, I edited my above post. But when I clicked on a link I created it takes me to paypal asking to pay on my account, so it works fine from my side.

    Whenever you post a long link on a forum it gets shortened (the caption, not the hyperlink itself). Clicking on it still works fine.

    Well, yes, I see.
    While we at these links changes in forums, the opposite happens many times. You post a ordinary http: link and then you see a long link with full description of that site...
