how to directly link to paypal but register an order
Posted: Mon Oct 27, 2008 5:01 am
Hi, currently when the user selects paypal they are directed to view their order
/checkout/receipt.aspx?orderId=##
and then there is another paypal button to click that sends you to PayPal.
I'm trying to simplify the process so when the user clicks on paypal they are sent directly to paypal. ie i do really see why you need to have this additional click. Of course there is the express checkout option but this does not create orders in the database. The key file here is
<uc:PayPalPayNowButton ID="PayPalPayNowButton" runat="server"></uc:PayPalPayNowButton>
This files contains a button that on submit creates a page like the following

<body onload="document.PayPal_Button.submit();">
