I've been searching for this question before I post my own but did not find any. (I got here sent by the paypal page support).
I am testing the paypal paynow button in paypal sandbox, when I am abble to pay directly the amount lets say 1000 and it works ok, the page doest not display an option to select months for example to use 9 months. I have correctly activated in the configuration the option with months. To test the fake accounts I have to to login with them for being able to pay. I'll try the next example:
-Click on pay now button
-The button sends me to paypal
-At first there are 2 options the first one login with paypal account and the second one create a new one. (this option gives me
months 3,6,9,12 but since I am using a fake account to test, the page
does not allow me to enter any fake data, for instance: a fake
credit card)
-So I login with the sandbox account
Once I have loged in I dont have more options but "pay now" or "use a gift certificate".
So theres no way to select months there then.
This is the first time I am trying to integrate paypal on a site, so first I want to familiarize with the functionality first. I have to say as well I had locked for in the documentation and in the advance variables but nothing about when it comes with paynow button. Thank you very much in advance (please excuse my broken english). :)

Apologies for not knowing the exact terms to describe what I want, but I am using a simple WordPress theme site, the included WPForms plugin, and am trying to take orders using Square as my payment processing.
The current system I'm using works: I have a WPForm that gets the order information I need, they submit the form, then that redirects to a page where they click a link and arrive at the payment window on Square.
The problem is that I'm finding there's abandonment between the order form sending and the payment -- so I get orders in my Inbox, then have to wait and eventually track down whether they're wanting to pay. I'd really love to have my order arrive ONLY if payment is completed.
I could do this most simply by reversing the process, requiring someone pay first, THEN redirect to the order page...but that's a bad customer experience and I think people are more invested in completing a purchase if they're already excited by "ordering" it.
So I'm hoping someone can tell me if there's a plugin or method such that the very same "Order now" button will send the order to me AND process (and complete) the payment.
If this is more complicated than I think, if it's a huge headache, I will opt for either leaving it as is and tracking down payment...or reverse and make them pay first. But any help or suggestions, particularly for a Plugin that can do what I'm looking for, would be great. Thank you in advance!
If you're willing to purchase the Pro version of WPForms then it easily integrates with Stripe to collect payment at the same time that your Form is submitted.

PayPal and Authorize.Net are other options that integrate with WPForms.

So,
I have a blog with a "demo button" with leads the user to a sign up page.
On sign up page, the user fill the general entries. Then he is brought to a payment page to enter his card details. and then from there he is taken to a confirmation page.
Now, I want to track every page. Basically, whether any user coming from a blog becomes a user or atleast how far he goes before closing the tab
Use Enhanced E-Commerce Tracking.
The EEC in Google Analytics lets you assign step numbers to the various steps in a checkout. It then creates a custom funnel report (remember that EEC must be enabled and configured not just in your code, but also in your view settings) that show how many users completed the checkout and how many dropped of at each step.
I currently use Big Cartel for my online shop. Big Cartel is a web-based eCommerce solution specifically designed to help artists, whether musicians or crafters, sell their merchandise online easily. So when customers order my products online they can checkout through big cartel which they have an option to use PayPal after trying name, address, email address, etc, however, to add a more efficient/speedy checkout so they don't have to type out all of their info, I embedded a PayPal express button. The problem is when they order by clicking the pp button, it doesn't take away from my current stock resulting in overselling. It's acting like a separate entity and I can't see what they actually purchased- Only a PayPal message that they sent me funds. Obviously I want to avoid overselling and need to know how to get the PayPal button to collaborate with my big cartel shop when someone purchases with the "pay now" PayPal button. Is there an additional code I'm missing? Any advice and help with this issue is very appreciated! (This is the first time I've used code and inserted anything before so I'm not tech lingo savvy)
You must verify that you have entered your PayPal API information in Big Cartel settings. You should also add "Return URL" in your Admin Panel.
I would also suggest you to use Sandbox and test it yourself so you don't have to worry when real orders come in.
The API login credentials look like this:
USER=API_username
PWD=API_password
SIGNATURE=API_signature
is there an sandbox account for testing Bill Me Later just like paypal?
BML (PayPal Credit) is now tied into Express Checkout directly. Just do a regular EC integration, but in your SetExpressCheckout request you'll set the following:
USERSELECTEDFUNDINGSOURCE=BML
SOLUTIONTYPE=Sole
LANDINGPAGE=Billing
So then you can just have two separate buttons on your checkout page, and if they click the BML/Credit button you'll add the extra parameters.
The buyer gets a different experience depending on whether those params are added or not.
I am setting up a simple shopping cart type system, and i was wondering how i set the value of a paypal button? Whats the best way to do this?
PayPal has rather extensive documentation on their buttons. I suggest you visit PayPal's website for their full documentation.
When you create a Buy It Now button using the PayPal interface, it asks you to enter the price. If you are creating one programmatically, then the documentation provides details on setting a wide range of the values including the price, currency, etc.
You can find all of this information by logging into PayPal and then Choosing the "Merchant Services" tab. Start with the "Buy Now" link in the Create button section.
PayPal will generate the code for you.
