Hi Larry, I am trying to adapt your classic PayPal guidance to make a simple one-time payment from a website. First, PayPal seems to have changed its button creating directions as I can't see any "Merchant Services" tab as per your guidance on page 157. In fact I cannot log in at all to the sandbox using the test business account that I set up. The website owner has a production PayPal business account and it was via that that I was able to create the test business and personal accounts as per page 156-157. I was however able to create a production button via "My Selling Tools" and then change the code to direct to the sandbox as per your advice on page 159. However, I have a specific question re point 10 on page 159, re the cancel and thanks URLs. In the website to which I want to add the simple one-off payment capability, I have used your site design as per your PHP Advanced book where all accesses to modules go through the index.php module (page 44 onwards of that book). So can I simply use "HTTPS://www...etc/index.php?p=thanks and ....?p=cancel where they will be redirected to the appropriate thanks and cancel modules? All other accesses to modules go through HTTP://www...etc/index.php(i.e., without the "S" of the required HTTPS for these PayPal redirections)? Sadly I cannot use Stripe for this website owner:-( I do not have a security certificate for this website. Thankyou in anticipation, and Cheers from Oz.
