multiple levels of recurring payments using PayPal buttons?
Hi, hope someone can help. I have a bit of a doozy here and haven't found what I need by searching the forums.
I need to have customers log in, have the site capture details about the product delivery location, then use a paypal subscription to pay for the rental/lease of the item. Ideally if the payment notification email could contain the data collected, that'd be stellar.
What's the best way to do this?
I've currently got 4 products set up, and each product description has the paypal subscription button code in it, with input boxes added to the code. Here is a sample from one product...
<form name="_xclick" action="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick-subscriptions">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Single Post w Bro Box">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">

So when I'm logged in and click this button, my browser is directed to
http: // xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/index.php?main_page=shopping_cart
and the shopping cart says it's empty.
Is there a better way to do this? The data I need to collect is similar on all 4 products, but the price is different.
Or if this is the best practice, what bit of code am I missing? :frusty:
