PayPal Buy Now button problem

**Basiq** · 21 October 2022, 12:09 AM

I'm trying to update a Paypal Buy Now button but when the window opens it says I need to update WDP19. Except I'm up-to-date with the latest version. (Subscribed to May 2023). I've attached a screenshot to show the popup window message. I get the same thing if I try to insert a new Buy Now button from the content catalogue. However, it appears I can insert the Add To Cart button (the dialog box appears as expected). I'm wondering if this is a problem with the Paypal button in the catalogue, or am I missing something? The current Paypal button on my site is working fine. I'm simply trying to alter the code to remove a couple of product options.

Hi, Xara has updated the technology for the widget controls from IE to Edge. Read more here in the release notes.

This is available in the Desktop Plus editions of the product, currently v22.2 (another release is on track in the next few weeks, maybe even next week).

If you have further questions and want more details about migrating to the Plus products, then drop us a chat or email https://www.xara.com/contact-us/

@Basiq, Matt has not really explained the reason for your failure.

Most organisations no longer support Internet Explorer (IE) as a safe, secure or compliant browser.
The early versions of Xara Desktop relied on an internal installation of IE for Preview, Help, the Online Content Catalogue and third-party Widget access.

An IE Preview also could not handle some Xara presentations so it needed replacing.
Steps have been made such that current systems Preview in your default browser.
Xara Pro+v21.9 went further and replaced the internal IE with MS Edge WebView2 Runtime such that third-party Widgets no longer complain.

You could try out the trial Xara Plus product closest to your XWDPv19.
In the absence of you jumping to a Xara Plus product, the only recourse would be to access and change your PayPal buttons directly through PayPal.
If you chose to change to Xara Plus, I am sure Matt/Xara will discount your current Magix cover.

@Acorn and @MB365 (Matt), I thank you both for your replies. In fact, I've now added a rectangle shape into the page as a placeholder and, in Web Properties, have inserted the existing Paypal formcode html into the <body> section of the page, having first altered the <options> as required. I'm pleased to say this has worked.

Given this, I'm not sure whether I would upgrade to XWDP+ just yet although I have gone ahead and downloaded the 14-day trial version and will see how it compares.
