Operation Manual

284 Adding Dynamic Content
The following procedures assume that PayPal is configured as your shopping
cart.
To insert an e-commerce object:
1. Click the
Insert an E-Commerce object button on the Web Objects
toolbar's E-Commerce flyout.
2. In the Add PayPal Object dialog, pick the email address which is to
receive the payment information. WebPlus will already assume that the
email address set during shopping cart configuration is used.
Alternatively, uncheck the Use the site default address box and set a
different email address to override the site default.
3. Pick an object type from the PayPal Form box. Select a "Form" radio
button if you want to create an E-Commerce Form which will contain
buying options (e.g., colour or quantity). If the product for sale has no
buying options then you can use a "Link" object (i.e., to create a clickable
E-Commerce Button). Repeating form and area options let you add
items from a database rather than defining them explicitly in an Item
Details dialog (see
Using database merge with e-commerce on p. 297).
4. (Optional). If a Form or Button is not what you are looking for, enable
the last option instead to paste code in a subsequent dialog. This would
be code generated from PayPal's Web site (look under Merchant Tools).
Click Next>.
5. In the next dialog, define a button for use. It's possible to enable a
standard text button (when enabled, enter any text string), a standard
image button (when enabled, pick from an attractive selection of presets
in the scrollable window), or load an image button (when enabled, use
the Browse... button to navigate and select your image). Images are
embedded in your site by default; otherwise uncheck the last option.
Click Next>.
6. Item identification, pricing and tax information can be defined in the
Item Details dialog. Options to be selected are:
