Paypal buttons in Web Designer?

[tony65]

Can paypal buttons be added to a page, to enable a site to operate as a 'shopping cart?'
Thanks,

Hi Tony,

welcome to TalkGraphics.

Yes, PayPal buttons can be added to a website made with Web Designer, and what's more: they work great! We've incorpated quite a few of those buttons ("Buy Now" as well as "Add to Cart") on our website.

So, if you need to know more we'd be glad to assist you; feel free to PM or email us.

Welcome to the Web Designer forum, Tony.

You need to use a placeholder object the same size as the button. Then you create the button specifications on the PayPal website, create the code for the button, and then paste the code into the Placeholder, Replace with HTML text entry box.

We'd like to know more Albert
Perhaps you can create a mini-tutorial and attach an example .web file for all TG members who would consider Paypal for their sites to learn from?

Any developed tutorial might also address other payment methods, like Clickbank (who provide a number of payment options, including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Eurocard, Bravo, Diners Club, Carte Blanche, and JCB), and others.

Thanks for the help guys.

I particularly like the idea of mini-tutorials - on this topic and the use of placeholders in general.

Sure Steve, I'll put something together. Might take a while though before I get to it.

Hi everybody,

I made a short tutorial about how you can make and integrate a PayPal button onto your Web Designer page.

Hope you'll find it helpful. Any comments or remarks are always welcome.

It would be great if I could include your tutorial in the Community Guide akubbeng. If that's possible, in Word format would be ideal!.
