Moving from Website Payments

Standard to

Hosted Solution

If you are moving from Website Payment Standard to Hosted Solution, you must make the

following changes:

1. In the FORM tag, change the cmd value in the action attribute

from:

to:

<form

action="https://securepayments.paypal.com/acquiringweb?cmd=_hosted-

payment" method="post"><input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_hosted-

payment">

2. Change HTML variable amount to subtotal.

N OTE: Website Payment Standard has separate values for amount and quantity,

whereas Hosted Solution uses subtotal only. Ensure that the subtotal includes

the amount you want to charge the buyer, taking into account any applicable

discount and the quantity of items.

3. If you have already customised your checkout flow, such as color and background, you will

need to redo those settings for Hosted Solution. For more information about customising

the look and feel of your payment page, refer to Chapter 3, “Customising Your PayPal

Payment Page.
