Using drop downlists with buttons

November 30th, 2008 · 2 Comments

If you are creating buy now button by hand and if you want to give customers an option when they are buying a product with PHP-eSeller, you can easily do this using a drop down list.

An example might be :

<form action="http://www.yourservername/eseller/ipn/process.php" method="post">
<select name="item_number">
<option value="">Select a product</option>
<option value="item_a">Small $1.00</option>
<option value="item_b">Medium sized file $2.00</option>
<option value="item_c">Large file $3.00</option>
</select>
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but23.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>

You will need to create three products with item_number of item_a, item_b and item_c. The customer then selects which one they require and click the buy now button which takes them to PayPal.

    I’ve been looking for an easier way to offer two different shipping options: U.S. and International. I’ve already created two different products with the respective shipping cost built into the sales price. Right now, each product has its own BUY button. With a drop down list, I can create one BUY button that allows the purchaser to select the product with the appropriate shipping cost. I’ll give it a try.

    What if I wanted to use checkboxes? Does Paypal’s process.php handle mutiple items? What if I wanted to use checkboxes to add items to the template system’s cart?
