<form method="POST" action="https://payflowlink.paypal.com">
<input type="hidden" name="LOGIN" value="Your LOGIN here">
<input type="hidden" name="PARTNER" value="Your PARTNER here">
<input type="hidden" name="AMOUNT" value="Total transaction AMOUNT here">
<input type="hidden" name="TYPE" value="Transaction TYPE here">
<input type="submit" value="Click here to Purchase">

2. Replace the bold text with actual values for the LOGIN, PARTNER, AMOUNT, and TYPE
parameters, as follows:
– LOGIN: The login name that you chose for your Payflow account.
– PARTNER: The name of your Partner was provided to you by your reseller.
– AMOUNT: Total amount of the transaction. The value must be greater than 1.00.
– TYPE: A single letter that identifies the type of transaction (S: Sale or
A:
Authorization). Transaction types are described on page 65.
Be sure to change only the text shown in bold in the example text. Leave the quotation
marks (“) in place.
3. Save the file and insert the HTML text into your Web page at the point where Payflow
Link should complete the transaction.
4. Your next step is to open your Web page and test the button to ensure that it opens the
PayPal transaction pages and performs the transaction properly. See Chapter 5, “Testing
Payflow Link,” for complete instructions.
