Paypal expresses an “order summary”

I am in the process of replacing the free and standard paypal button with Express checkout integration. I believe that I did most of the work, but I have 2 unresolved issues.

  • Using the old button, she redirected me to the order summary page, where I could update the quantity of the product I wanted to buy. With express checking, this option seems to be disordered. While the quantity field is still present, it is read-only and therefore cannot be changed anymore. Can I make this field editable again?

  • When I redirect to the paypal site after clicking on the form submission, it is incompatible, I suspect that Paypal is in the process of deploying some updates to this page and does some A / B checks to see which layout works better, but it would be nice if would someone else be able to confirm similar behavior and, if there is something that I can do to get a specific layout? I found other posts on this forum, but they were posted some time ago, so check back.

thanks

1.Express Checkout, its actually an API call to the PayPal server. If you want to edit the quantity, you need to change the L_PAYMENTREQUEST_n_QTYm value using your own logic and send the request to PayPal (the quantity cannot be edited). Doc

2. In general, PayPal has released a new Express Checkout layout.

There are two URLs here:

Old layout : https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token=EC-24P528268C112244W enter image description here

New layout : https://www.paypal.com/checkoutnow/2?token=EC-24P528268C112244W enter image description here

You can force any layout you want.

I found that you can force the old layout by including the "force_sa = true" parameter in the payment request URL. It is not possible to find documentation anywhere, but it seems to work sequentially. I asked for technical support from him and received an answer:

The new express checkout layout is gradually expanding, you may have the option to force the link with the following redirect URL: ' https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/checkoutnow/2?token= ' to force the new checkout layout, it does the same thing as force_sa = true

I did not answer my question, but I assume that they recognized it as a valid way to force the layout, and not be at the mercy of their "deployment."
