    Hello PayPal folks!

    I'm currently running a small game with about 30k players. I would like to monetize the game by offering them a solution to buy in game currency with paypal.

    This is how I thought it would be:

    On the site, there should be a table looking like this:

    10 million UTO Cash - 3$
    20 million UTO Cash - 5$
    30 million UTO Cash - 7$

    And so on, and then I would like a "Buy now" button besides each and every row. I will make this part, but what I want is this that when the people click buy now, they have to enter three fields, first, their name, the seconds, their e-mail and the third their phone number. And then they just checkout using paypal, IF the payment is succesful I would like their order details (what product they ordered) + the information they entered to be sent to me.

    How can I make this without any programming skills? What I've understand you can put Paypal Buy now buttons on your site and you can get paid, but there is no solution that sends you the order information along with some fields that I want..

    This is an example site:
    http://www.zedgame.com/ems/Europe-Maple-Story-Mesos.asp?SVR=Kradia&xCur=EUR

    Just click on buy now on any of those rows and you'll see what I want.

    And how do I change the prices of a button? Can I do it through the PayPal site? I mean,, where I can manage all my buttons and change their settings etc..

    Can I give them names so they are easier to manage?

    Thanks!

    To create a such button click on Profile, My Selling tools then Update next to "PayPal - buttons Manage my payment buttons."

    I'm not sure if you can create data fields in and retrieve it from PayPal but that website you mentioned is using custom coded check out page. But you can definitely get the data via IPN.
