Buy Now buttons and PayPal redirect…

[intern007]

Hi, I would like to have the ‘Buy Now’ type buttons take the customers directly to PayPal for payment when clicked. Following the instructions in your video I did get it to work with the following shortcode/funciton:

[wp_eStore_buy_now_fancy id=1]

print_eStore_buy_now_button(1);

However I like the look & feel of some of the extra fancy layouts. I installed the additional plugin to allow for the use of additional shortcodes. So I tried it with the one below and when I click the button the page is just refreshing, it’s not taking me to PayPal:

[wp_eStore_fancy4 id=1]

Tried the function show_wp_eStore_fancy4(1,1) and it is also not working.

I was wondering if I’m trying the impossible to work here, perhaps the PayPal redirect only works with:

[wp_eStore_buy_now_fancy id=1]

print_eStore_buy_now_button(1);

Thanks for your help.

Got it figured out, I was passing as parameter the wrong button type:

show_wp_eStore_fancy4(1,$button_type=1)

Where for “Buy Now” button it should have been:

show_wp_eStore_fancy4(1,$button_type=2)

I guess what confused me is that the shortcode [wp_eStore_fancy4 id=1] doesn’t allow for passing a button type parameter, it defaults to button type 1 (which is not a Buy Now), so the only way for me to get this to work was to look through your code and find the function behind the shortcode, and then I realized that I have control over the button.

Cheers
