3. Take customers to a specific webpage (URL) when they cancel their checkout?
You might have a special page on your website where buyers return when they cancel their
checkout. If so, select the checkbox and enter the URL for that page.
4. Take customers to a specific webpage (URL) after they finish checkout?
You might have a special page on your website where buyers return after they check out
successfully. If so, select the checkbox and enter the URL for that page.
NOTE: If you have a special webpage where buyers return after they finish checkout,
consider implementing Payment Data Transfer (PDT). It lets you display
information about the completed payment.
To learn more, see the
Payment Data Transfer webpage on PayPal X Developer
Network..
5. Advanced variables
If you are familiar with HTML programming and the advanced HTML variables supported
by PayPal Payments Standard payment buttons, enter them here. Select the checkbox, and
then enter the variables in the text box below it.
Enter any advanced HTML variables by using the name/value-pair format
variableName=allowableValue.
Do not enclose values in quotes, even for values that contain spaces. PayPal surrounds
values from the equal sign (=) to the end of the line with quotes in the generated code
automatically.
For example, you want PayPal to display during checkout custom payment pages that you
set up in your Account Profile. When you include a page_style variable in HTML code
that you write manually, you use the standard HTML format <input type="hidden"
