Adding pricing/ordering option?

Hello!
I'm sure this has been discussed previously, however there have been no recent replies to Pbase options for adding ordering/pricing to my page(s).
This is an important tool, and recently enough of an issue for me to leave Pbase, despite the easy uploading/maintenance here.

Please help if you can?
Any ideas or comments??

Thanks for your help.

If you have a PayPal Account, you can add the order form to a photo. It is a manual process, but there are some values on the page you can access to make it a bit easier. I am doing it on my pages where I offer prints for some of my images. I'll see if I can find the original instructions that were posted many years ago.

UPDATE: Here are two posts I found with the HTML code and the page values you can access to plug into the form. You have to have a PayPal account that allows you to create the buy/purchase buttons and shopping carts.

Here is a sample of the code I use. NOTE where the [Your PayPal Email] is you must replace all of that will your own PayPal email.
See PayPal Documentation for Integration using PayPal Standard: https://developer.paypal.com/docs/integration/web/

Code: Select all
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="paypal">
   <input name="cmd" type="hidden" value="_cart">
   <input name="business" type="hidden" value="[Your PayPal Email]">
   <input name="item_name" type="hidden" value="IMAGE_TITLE()">
   <input name="item_number" type="hidden" value="IMAGE_ID()">
   <input name="amount" type="hidden" value="10.00">
   <input name="no_note" type="hidden" value="1">
   <font color="#000000" size="2">Order 5 x 7 Print: $10.00 </font>
   <input name="currency_code" type="hidden" value="USD">
   <input name="on0" type="hidden" value="finish">Finish:&nbsp;&nbsp;<select name="os0">
   <option value="Glossy-5x7">Glossy</option>
   <option value="Matte-5x7">Matte</option>
   <option value="Semi-Glossy-5x7">Semi-Glossy</option>
   </select>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<input alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!" border="0" name="submit" src="https://www.paypal.com/images/x-click-but22.gif" type="image"><input name="add" type="hidden" value="1"></form>
