PayPal integration with Web Form...

Hello all.
I really hope this is not a dumb question, but I am building a web form and adding a payment option that will go through PayPal.
I have added a four choice tick box each with a price attached. Example, I select the $2.50 option.
When I click 'submit' it goes to the next screen and advises that I have selected the $2.50 option, but shows the actual PayPal amount as $0.01.
Can anyone help me out here? It's driving me nuts!
Thank you.
:mad:

Did you enable the payment option for the checkbox element?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Is the identity token the same as the merchant account?

Um, don't think so. What you do for the Identity token is log into your paypal account. Select 'Profile', then select 'My Selling tools'. Scroll down to 'Website Preferences' and click the update button.
This screen will show you your settings. If you enable 'Payment Data Transfer' under that you will see the Identity Token'. This is what you need to enter into WFB where it asks for your identity token.

Let us know if you still need more information. :cool:

So I don't know where PayPal changed their site but using the example Coffee Cup uses for their web form PayPal payments are completely different. There is not a Website Payment Preferences in the Seller Preferences column any longer, and I don't see anyway to get an Identity token. I can setup an API like we do with their shopping cart, but there just isn't anyway that I can find to get once again an Identity token. HELP!

I just checked this again and this is where my 'identity token' is listed.

For me it's
1. Profile
2. My Selling tools
3.Website Preferences (Update)
4.Select Auto return On
5.Select Payment Data Transfer On
6. Scroll to bottom of page and Click save.
You should get an Identity token that appears near the top of the page.
After you set it it will appear at the Payment Data Transfer location when you go back to that page.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
