    I am having an issue with creating a add to cart button for paypal. The creator inside of paypal will only allow for 1 drop down set of options not two. The website I am working on is a photographers and not only are there multiple sizes, but there are different frame types. I am not sure how to create a 2nd drop down field. There is a 2nd curveball to the issue, the shipping price depends on the size and display option. Paypal seems to only let you put in one shipping price.

    What is needed is a dropdown for different sizes, then they choose the presentation option.
    PicSize-1
    PicSize-2
    PicSize-3

    Display-1
    Display-2
    Display-3

    Hi

    Regarding the drop down options you can have up to 4 now (once over it used to be 2), when you click on create buy now buttom there is a section call customise button, you can select add drop down with price/or without price. When you are done, just click done, you can repeat this up to 4 times.

    Regarding the shipping, yes you are limited with the shipping, if this is a must for you have you throught about using something like mals cart with paypal as the payment gateway?, just an idea. I have used it a few times and it works well.

    This is more of a matrix (example shown below), not just 2 straight buttons. For example (all numbers made up) the size options could be 8"x10", 16"x20" and 32"x40" and there are 3 different frame options, Regular Glass, Museum Glass, Acrylic. This means there are 9 combinations and the prices would change depending on which items are selected from the 2 drop downs. Do you know if Mals will do this easily?

                    8"x10"    16"x20"    32"x40" 
    Regular Glass    $200      $400        $700 
    Museum Glass     $300      $500        $800
    Acrylic          $150      $350        $650
    Code (markup):
