my question is once someone signs up for a paypal subscription will the affiliate program recognize the monthly sale for our sales reps? please advise…thanks.

thank you for this information. very helpful. i think i found the problem. when i go thru the test it doesn’t return me to the thank you page, but i clearly have the “thank you page in the code below.

i did my test run again with this code as my button:

<form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221; method=”post”>

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

<input type=”hidden” name=”business” value=”sales@lifelinehosting.net”>

<input type=”hidden” name=”undefined_quantity” value=”1″>

<input type=”hidden” name=”item_name” value=”Testing Product”>

<input type=”hidden” name=”amount” value=”1.00″>

<input type=”hidden” name=”image_url” value=”https://yoursite.com/images/paypaltitle.gif”&gt;

<input type=”hidden” name=”no_shipping” value=”1″>

<input type=”hidden” name=”return” value=”http://www.websitesglobal.com/thankyou.htm”&gt;

<input type=”hidden” name=”rm” value=”2″>

<input type=”image” src=”http://www.websitesglobal.com/images/addtocart.png&#8221; border=”0″ name=”submit”>

</form>

am i missing something?

actually i’m trying to use method 1 – here is what i do not understand:

“If you are using PayPal hosted buttons then you need to specify the values of the “rm” and “return” fields in the advanced variables section of the button on PayPal.

i see the box in paypal where to add the advanced variables, but i do not know what to put in that box….

I see sample codes for method 2 but not method 1. do you have a sample code for method 1?

Ok, i read thru docs… i guess i’m not quite clear…do i need a IPN with paypal? here is my code for my $1 button:

<form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221; method=”post”>

<input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_s-xclick”>

<input type=”hidden” name=”hosted_button_id” value=”SQN4QFY9P4G5S”>

<input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif&#8221; border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!”>

<img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif&#8221; width=”1″ height=”1″>

</form>

your sample code has a few more lines than mine… :

<form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&#8221; method=”post”>

<input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_s-xclick”>

<input type=”hidden” name=”hosted_button_id” value=”7JK4AJCBQGJV6″>

<input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/GB/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif&#8221; border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online.”>

<img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_GB/i/scr/pixel.gif&#8221; width=”1″ height=”1″>

<input name=”notify_url” type=”hidden” value=”http://www.your-domain.com/test1/wp-content/plugins/wp-affiliate-platform/api/ipn_handler.php&#8221; />

<input name=”custom” type=”hidden” value=”<?php echo $_COOKIE; ?>” />

</form>

what am i missing?
