you want to buy a Mac but don't have your new card yet, but you need to place order now. ability to switch out payment method at a later time (e.g. hide your true card number for security reasons pay at places that charge lower/no fees for debit (e.g. buy items at places that only take Mastercard The real surprise is that this new virtual card seems to be processing as a debit card, even if the actual card you are using underneath it is a credit card (do you see where this is going?). However, this is not the main reason why we are interested. In simplest terms, it wraps your actual card with a virtual card, thus protecting your real card number from being exposed and can be used anywhere MasterCard is accepted. Last year, PayPal launched a new virtual card feature called PayPal Key. However, I have used this tactic for almost a year now and have earned tens of thousands of points with it! Read on to find out how you can do this too! It was fun while it lasted.Īt first, this sounded too good to be true. I am enjoying Sparkle very much and making good progress with my site.UPDATE 3/21/22: PayPal just announced the PayPal Key program will be going away in late April 2022.
PAYPAL KEY MANUAL
Perhaps if I was using Paypal’s newer API system, the Sparkle Payment tool would interact with Paypal’s web site? But I’m fine with using the old manual system, if there is no problem with doing so. So that’s why I tried just doing it the old way, manually, with copy and paste, which seems to work fine.
PAYPAL KEY HOW TO
From there I don’t how to get the code back to my Sparkle page. Then if I log in, I still have to navigate to the place to get the html code for Legacy buttons. When I fill in the boxes for payment destination, price, and description, and then and click the PayPal Control Panel button, it just takes me to the PayPal login page. Here’s my problem with the Sparkle Payment function. Is there any problem with just doing it like that for the rest of my products? if no issue, then I will just go ahead and add the buttons for the rest of my products. Both buttons appear just as I would expect them to. The buttons are customized within the code for product ID, price, and description.Įverything looks fine on my Sparkle page and in preview. I made one set of buttons for just one of my products, Buy Now, and Add to Card. I couldn’t figure out how to add the legacy buttons with the new Payment function of Sparkle, so I just used the old system of embedding the html code that PayPal generates. I had to search around in the PayPal web site but found that PayPal still offers the option of using the older legacy buttons. So I decided to just add legacy buttons to my Sparkle web site. I was confused with Paypal’s new developer system to create their new style of buttons. I have 50 products and everything works fine. My old site uses legacy PayPal buttons - Buy Now, and Add to Cart. My old web site is still active while I am building my new Sparkle web site.
Anyone with ideas, please post here and thanks in advance! Gotta be in there somewhere, but I haven’t seen it yet.
(My artist sells prints of various sizes.) I have yet to see how/where you can do that in these new mobile-friendly buttons.
Thought #2: In the old-style PayPal buttons, you could create a drop down menu for different sizes and prices of a product. I know I can go into PayPal and make a whole new app for each individual product on the site but that seems like overkill to me (as in too much work there’s got to be a simpler way.) I’d like to title each button appropriately. There’s no way in Sparkle to name a button to tell what is being sold…is there? I am building a site for an artist now to sell lots of her paintings and prints. One more thing about these buttons, as I think about them. And once I got the proper Client ID from PayPal and entered it into the PAYMENTS field in the Sparkle settings, Sparkle makes it a piece of cake to add buttons to a page…much faster and easier than the clunky old copy and paste PayPal button code into an “embed” box on your Sparkle page procedure. Meanwhile, one of my wishes is for PayPal to greatly simplify the process of creating mobile-friendly buttons.You should not have to become a PayPal Developer and stare cross-eyed at code you don’t end up needing, just to make a button!įYI: here’s what the buttons look like…they really are much better looking and better functioning for mobile. When the dust settles, I will have to sit down and write a step by step tutorial on how to plow through this. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure of how I got this going but am gonna have to do it again as I make more buttons to sell more products for my client. That said, it was for me a healthy learning experience in the long run. Not for the faint of heart or mind, believe me. Oh yeah! It took me several days to get one of the new mobile-friendly PayPal buttons working.
