Payment links on my website

    I'm using paypal as my processor for my website. What I want to do is place links to the paypal page throughout my salespage instead of just having the paypal button at the bottom of the page.

    For example:

    I want to have hyperlinks like the following throughout my page -
    Click here to order now.

    The problem is, Paypal doesn't offer you a way to link those above words to their payment page. Unless I'm doing something wrong.

    Any advance on this will be greatly appreciated it.

    PayPal allows you to use the generated button code . You just need to modify that code to serve your need..

    https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=YOUR PAYPAL EMAIL&item_name=PRODUCTS NAME&amount=1.00&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&currency_code=USD&lc=IN&bn=PP-BuyNowBF&charset=UTF-8
    
    PHP:
    Maybe it's what you are looking for.

    Ex:
    <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=YOUR PAYPAL EMAIL&item_name=PRODUCTS NAME&amount=1.00&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&currency_code=USD&lc=IN&bn=PP-BuyNowBF&charset=UTF-8"> Buy Now</a>

    Let's say my sales letter looks like the following:

    lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
    llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
    -->Click here to order
    lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
    lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
    lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
    -->Click here to order
    lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
    lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
    llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
    paypal button here
    PS lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
    llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll click here to order

    OKay, I get what all of you are saying. I completely understand it BUT I just don't know where to put the words "Click here to order" in that Paypal html code. See, I want to catch those customers that say, "I want this product now", and don't want to wait to get to the bottom of my sales page. Please advise.

    insert this code where you want it to appear on your site.

    <a href="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_xclick&business=YOUR PAYPAL EMAIL&item_name=PRODUCTS NAME&amount=1.00&no_shipping=0&no_note=1&currency_code=USD&lc=IN&bn=PP-BuyNowBF&charset=UTF-8"> CLICK HERE TO ORDER</a> 
    PHP:
    Just make sure you change value in the code
    Your Email
    Products Name
    Amount
    Shipping
    currency

    And your all set

    Good Luck

    It still didn't work

    At first it was telling me that the paypal link i was using was invalid. Then it was sending me to the log in page of paypal, telling me that I need to login in order to see this page. Not sure what's going on.

    Hey, it worked I figured out what was wrong.

    You set the code up without shipping. I need the code set up so that I can add my shipping cost in it. If you can do that for me I would greatly appreciate it.

    there is a great paypal class out there that you can use. I use it all the time on my sites.

    google it and it should come fairly high on the results.
