Operation Manual

Adding Dynamic Web Objects 153
The dialog that is displayed when you add an e-commerce object will entirely
depend on the currently enabled shopping cart provider (see Configuring your
shopping cart provider on p. 150).
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 account 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., color 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
in online Help). Click Next>.
(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 website (after login, look
under Merchant Services). Click Next> to exit the wizard and paste
the HTML code fragment onto your page.
4. In the next dialog, define a button for use. It's possible to enable a
standard text button (when enabled, enter any text string) or a standard
image button (when enabled, pick from an attractive selection of
presets in the scrollable window). Some images support automatic
rollovers.
