Continue Shopping button not showing up

[stretcharmstrong]

I know this subject seems like its been exhausted but I have read all the posting on this and done everything like people say to do but I am not getting the 'continue shopping' button to show up in the paypal shopping cart. The only option is the 'checkout' button. I have copy and pasted the html from paypal for the 'add to cart' button and the 'view cart' button. When I click on these buttons from my site I go correctly to a paypal shopping cart but there is no 'continue shopping' button there...I don't know what else to try...I have also emails paypal about this...any other suggestions would be helpful...thanks.

Re: Continue Shopping button not showing up

This is really bizarre...I am not doing anything different or unusual with the buttons, just following the straight forward directions and can not for the like of me get a continue shopping button. I am a premier member of paypal not a business member, but that should not matter right? I can't think of anything else to do...

Hi.

You should have no difficulty if you do so directly at the paypal site .. as opposed to doing so in blue voda ..

Hi .. you can check your code against this code .. this has the continue shopping, perhaps you might be able to spot what you might be missing in your code ..


<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="image" src="http://www.xxxxxx.com/xxx.jpg" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="emailaddress">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="product">
<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="xxx">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="price">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/thankyou.html">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/contactus.html">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">
<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF">
</form>


You can take this code, modify things to apply to yourself (I am sure you can see where) and try it ..

Finally got it worked out with PayPal techies...
FYI: if try the above code and STILL don't get the continue shopping button enter the following new line of code (the middle line) in this exact place and it will work...has something to do with browser settings and adding this code will cause the continue shopping button to be force
populated regardless of your browser settings..

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
<input type="hidden" name="shopping_url" value="http://www.YourDomain.com/products.html">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="emailaddress">

make sure you put the page of your site (in this new code) that you want the continue button to send your customers to...

Thanks PayPal!!!
