I would like to have a simple form with two textfields and a button:

  • product id
  • amount
  • Checkout

When clicking on a button the default PayPal checkout appears with product id and an amount pre-populated. How do I achieve that with Javascript?

update

I would like to achieve this strictly using Javascript, no server side code such as PHP. It would work more like a generic PayPal button with two more textfields carrying product ID and amount.

update 2

Instead of searching for PayPal Javascript API, I should've searched for PayPal button custom amount. Looks like this will solve my question.

Passing price variable to PayPal with custom button

    So, you would like... What have you tried so far? – sdespont Mar 29 '13 at 19:08
  • I tried finding any sort of documentation about it but no luck. – Ska Mar 29 '13 at 19:16
  • You didn't find any paypal tutorial? http://www.saaraan.com/2012/07/paypal-expresscheckout-with-php / http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xvtlja_tutoriel-video-php-paypal-express-checkout_lifestyle#.UVXpXKucHhU – sdespont Mar 29 '13 at 19:20

    I didn't say I didn't find ANY, i.e. "ANY", meaning ANY, paypal tutorial. I said I didn't find a documentation on how to do that with JS. I see a link you sent is PHP, not really what I wanted. It would be more as a version of generic PayPal checkout button with two more textfields. – Ska Mar 29 '13 at 19:25

    I see you're posting more PHP links. Thank you, but that was not my question. – Ska Mar 29 '13 at 19:26

Have a look at https://github.com/paypal/JavaScriptButtons

We've only recently released these, so they don't support all button types just yet (i.e. donations), but they'll work just fine for 'Buy now' buttons. 

<script src="paypal-button.min.js?merchant=YOUR_MERCHANT_ID"
    data-button="buynow"
    data-name="My product"
    data-amount="1.00"
></script>

  • Does anyone know if parameters can be modified to let user choose Quantity of products on Paypal dialog? – Svet Nov 29 '16 at 15:12
