View cart/ checkout button

[JaneHR]

Hi

I am trying to add a view cart/basket/checkout button to our website. We already have website payments pro. Can anyone help? this one has me stumped and it is delaying us from launching our site. Many thanks Jane

Hi , I am working on this issue as well, what I have discovered so far is that you can access the shopping cart area using the pay buttons, but the code needs to be changed.   I recreated my own button called Go to your shopping cart, and then tried having 0 amount added, this didnt work. but it is very close.  Maybe we need pay pal to change one of their buttons so that no money is requested.  I hope this makes sense

Jane-

You have payments pro correct ? How do you have it implemented  ? Is it in a commercial shopping cart or did yiou have developers implement a bespoke system ?

Cfer -

It sounds like you are referring to payments standard, and need the view to cart code which for some reason is no longer on the Paypal site :

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
 <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart" />
 <input type="hidden" name="display" value="1" />
 <input type="hidden" name="business" value="Enter your PayPal e-mail address here..." />
 <input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US" />
 <input type="hidden" name="charset" value="windows-1252" />
 <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_viewcart_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!" />
</form>

- Hope I got that right

best regards
