The > comments about card detail security still apply, of course. > Hello, Thanks for your input. I found a snippet by Scott Kennedy a couple of years ago. It basically placed a paypal button on the receipt page. I never liked the fact that it was one step too far. However I just set up a working model which uses our "Place Order" button on the checkout page - of course there may be details I haven't thought of, I guess the cart gets abandoned locally. I created a clone of my site, and you can feel free to test the checkout (buy this item http://secure.goldissue.com/shop/paypal/NF-131 ) and take it through to the PayPal site. It should do until I mave promoted my site more, and have some good figures to show the bank, Regards, Frank. -- http://www.goldissue.com Ecommerce Consulting _______________________________________________ interchange-users mailing list suppressed http://www.icdevgroup.org/mailman/listinfo/interchange-users
