Attach form to Paypal

[willc]

Is is possible to attach a form to a paypal button? I would like the cust to upload a file and enter some prod attributes before clicking the paypal button.

I need to get this info in order to process their order. I know it can be done using the other shopping carts but I need the cart template to look like my web page but Ive had problms editing the template to look just right

No, the only information that paypal will process in the information needed for the payment. The best solution is setting up a database on your website that stores this information that you need before they make payment, and then they go on to paypal.

Whithin certain (tight) limits, you can have a form that will allow the user to attach some details to the item name.
I.e., if you sell T shirts, and you want the user to add the size and color, you can do it. If you need to attach long texts, it is impossible, and you would need, as Watdaflip said, to keep track of the order details in a database, BEFORE the PayPal button is displayed for the user to click.

PayPal allows for a certain size of the header that you use ... check for the size and resize your header to use for paypal ... I believe this is your problem ..

When you create buttons in PAyPal's site, you have the option to add options. You can define the Option name (Size, colour) and the values (up to ten) for each option (ten sizes, ten colours). More can be added manually editing the button code that you will recieve. When creating the button click on "Add options" and follow the wizard.

Re: Attach form to Paypal

Yes, you can set the options either as radio buttons (to tick) or as drop down lists. When PayPal creates the button code, you copy it and paste it in a html box in your products pages, as usual.
