Wordpress PayPal Help Pls

[Ziggery.com]

Hi Guys n Gals,

A friend asked me to help out to see if they can get a quick paypal button onto their wordpress site that will help customers in paying for their storage unit.

Parameters needed.

Name, email address, Unit Number, Amount.

I thought I might be able to use the contact-7-form for ease of setup, but just having a headache doing so.

The unit number is manually entered by the payer and so is the amount.

I tried checking through the paypal parameters but didn't see anything that would work in this instance.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

~Zig

I've looked at the Paypal's merchant services tab and it will only give you an option to pay for an item. I didn't see anything that will allow payers to place any amount of payment. One option you can do is to set up buttons for each payment. For example create a button for $20 that will sell 1 item, a button for $40 that will sell for 2 items, etc. etc..

You can't do this through a contact form.

You need to integrate a payment gateway plugin.

Do a search through Wordpress's plugin directory for "paypal" or "payment", and you'll see plenty of options.

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" id="payPalForm">

<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="Payment to XXXX">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://whereyouwantthemtogoafterpayment.com">

Item Details:<input name="item_name" type="text" id="item_name"  size="45"> <br />
Amount:<input name="amount" type="text" id="amount" size="45">
<br /><br />
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

</form>

That basically gives you a text are for the Unit # and the amount to be paid both filled in via the customer. The name and email would be supplied from paypal in the receipt you would get form them paying

And you could easily style it to look however you want.
