can I simulate a paypal button

Hi,
I'v created a site for client, with several pages of products for
sale, we're not using any Online payment method yet -so in the
meantime, I'v just provided an Order Form, to be completed, printed
then mailed off with payment....

what I would really like to do, to improve this greatly - would be to
simulate what a paypal "add to cart" button would do - which is click
to add an item, and it places that item in a window in a separate page~
just as paypal does, and so on as they click on any other product to
buy, this would then give them an order form - but just containing the
items they want to buy - instead of the present order form which has
all products from that catagory, but obviously has the ones wanted
marked.
Is there any way to do this? and for someone very new to javascript-
easy to implement ?
many thanks,
Stu'

A google search turned up a free js shopping cart here:
http://www.nopdesign.com/freecart/
and others that may not be free:
http://www.javascriptcart.com/
and a how-to here:
http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/ja...le.php/3471331
and a tutorial there:
http://htmlfixit.com/contribs/JS-shopping.html
Your search may turn up better sites -
I don't know the quality of any of these, so you can decide after reading
them.

this all looks very promising, I'll read through each one of these and
see if -- well... :) see which one I understand the best, and feel I
can implement on the site... many thanks.

Hi neutrino,

As a former user and now the owner of the FREE cart software available from www.javascriptcart.com, I can assure you that it is easily implemented and will allow you to do all that you've asked and a whole lot more...

Because I've been using this script for nearly 5 years on my own site, I know how to customise it, install it and configure from a new user's point of view.

In October last year I took over the project, so can now introduce Merchant ideas into a programmers script, making it an all-round client-side shopping cart with great features, but very soon there'll be some fantastic features, including:

JavaScript Database functionality for loading products on the fly
A mailing script to die for, enabling you to load your own templates in any language for use as a receipt and my
Ship-By-Zone script is going down a storm allowing complete control of shipping charges based on weight and distance by working out the shipping from your country or post/zip code.

I also offer unrivalled FREE tech support to get you up and running in a flash. In fact, I have even installed it for some users who have no idea of HTML let alone JavaScript, because I know how frustrating it can be to understand something so alien.

Review the different options you now have in the links from Hal Rosser above, but should you decide to use my solution, I'll help you every step of the way.

Good luck Stu,


Gary

Hi all, I have an app that allows users to upload files to my site, and then download them at a later date. Once the files have been safely uploaded, I wish to give them a download code to retrieve them at a later date, but only after they've paid for them via PayPal or similar. I am unable to use the standard BuyNow PayPal button as the Form PostBack method only allows one form per page, and although there is a

Hello, I've just been looking at the free PayPal component from ComponentOne and am somewhat amazed how insecure it is. They include all the transaction details in plain text in the querystring, meaning that any rank novice can click the Buy button on your site, then when the PayPal page loads, change the amount for the transaction and press Enter. This reloads the page with the new amount. This is so obvious that anyone could do it.

Guys, it seems that several people have enquired about how to communicate with Paypal as securely as possible. It is obvious that placing the shopping cart details in the URL is about as insecure as could be. Therefore why not use a POST and hide them in hidden variables? Well I would if I could figure it out. The contents of the cart are created dynamically and since I already have a button on my form that needs to be captured by...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
