Hello community,
I operate a small press and we have used PayPal checkout buttons for more than 15 years. Last year, one of the buttons stopped functioning properly (but not the others) and I was able to update the site code using the Button Generator on the PayPal site. The same problem has reoccurred, unfortunately, but the Button Generator seems to have disappeared. This page: https://www.paypal.com/merchantapps/setup/checkout/home?engagement=RFY has an option to "generate a snippet of code", which once you click it takes you to a very complex series of integration instructions that are well beyond me. It might be worth noting that the older buttons down below that still work do not go through the PayPal Sandbox service, not that I really understand it anway.
Here is our webstore. The first option, the book and zine bundle, no longer seems to process payment correctly:

When people try to buy with their PayPal accounts, it doesn't work, and then when they try using the credit card gateway, they recieve a message saying "Thank You"—and they think it worked—but it didn't. This is naturally causing some annoyance on their part!
Can anyone kindly suggest a solutionor where I could get started resolving this? It is more than frustrating.
Thanks.
