I am sort of new to the whole PayPal payment in my applications. I’ve only
done this one other time and it seems to work just fine but I can’t see the
difference that is causing it to fail between my old working app and the one
Im currently working on.

 

I gave the Paypal button both the return field and cancel_return field. When
I get to the sandbox, I can hit pay or cancel. Cancel goes back to the url I
tell it to.

 

When I hit buy it goes to the next (confirmation) screen with a “Return to
Merchant” button that brings them back to the site. It comes back to the
correct url but the url variables are missing.

 

Eg.. I have

<input type="hidden" name="return"
value="http://mysite.com/join/index.cfm?act=ppcomf&okey=#orderkey#";>

 

But when it comes back to the site it comes back to 

HYPERLINK
"http://mysite.com/join/index.cfm"http://mysite.com/join/index.cfm?

 

I’ve looked at the source of the paypal “Return to Merchant” button and the
form’s action is indeed the correct path:

 

Action=”HYPERLINK
"http://mysite.com/join/index.cfm?act=ppcomf&amp;okey=jw8ahsj3o8dm1mn"http:/
/mysite.com/join/index.cfm?act=ppcomf&amp;okey=jw8ahsj3o8dm1mn”

 

Here is the source of the actual button on my site...

 

<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"; method="post">

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">

<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">

<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Membership">

<input type="hidden" name="item_number" value="jw8ahsj3o8dm1mn">

<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="20.00">

<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">

<input type="hidden" name="return"
value="http://mysite.com/join/index.cfm?act=ppcomf&okey=jw8ahsj3o8dm1mn";>

<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return"
value="http://mysite.com/join/index.cfm?act=canceled&okey=jw8ahsj3o8dm1mn";>

<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">

<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">

<input type="hidden" name="lc" value="US">

<input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-BuyNowBF">

<input type="image"
src="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but03.gif";
border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free
and secure!">

</form>

 

(Hopefully, all of that stays in a readable format when I hit send!)

 

Anyone see something I’m missing? I just can’t see why it would cut off the
url vars like that.

 

Thanks for any help.
