To insert an e-commerce object:
1. Click the Insert an E-Commerce object button on the Web
Objects toolbar's E-Commerce flyout.
2. In the Add PayPal Object dialog, pick the email address which is to
receive the payment information. WebPlus will already assume that
the email address set during shopping cart configuration is used.
Alternatively, uncheck the Use the site default account box and set a
different email address to override the site default.
3. Pick an object type from the PayPal Form box. Select a "Form" radio
button if you want to create an E-Commerce Form which will
contain buying options (e.g., color or quantity). If the product for sale
has no buying options then you can use a "Link" object (i.e., to create
a clickable E-Commerce Button).
4. (Optional). If a Form or Button is not what you are looking for, enable
the last option instead to paste code in a subsequent dialog. This
would be code generated from PayPal's website (look under Merchant
Tools). Click Next>.
5. In the next dialog, define a button for use. It's possible to enable a
standard text button (when enabled, enter any text string), a standard
image button (when enabled, pick from an attractive selection of
presets in the scrollable window), or load an image button (when
enabled, use the Browse... button to navigate and select your image).
Images are embedded in your site by default; otherwise uncheck the
last option. Click Next>.
6. Item identification, pricing, tax, and weight information can be
defined in the Item Details dialog. Options to be selected are:
• Item Name: The item name for sale. Shown on the form and
shopping cart.
• Allow customer to specify the item name: Check to swap the
above Item Name for a box in which the web visitor can enter
their own item name (also good for specifying donation details).
• Item ID: Add an easily identifiable string to track the item
through PayPal.
