Does anyone know an easy way to change the price on my Website Payment Standard, Add to Cart buttons without going into PayPal's button generator on their website?

I need to increase the price of 100s of my items by $2, and the shipping by $1, and to do that on the Paypal website will take me days.

Anyone know something I can add to the script for the buttons that are already on the webpage that will add some amount to the sale?

I am really surprised they don't just let me download the database of all my items, edit it and upload it again.

Thanks in advance.

If this isn't possible can anyone reccomend a free and easy to set up shopping cart that can create add to cart buttons with multiple dropdowns for me?

If the buttons are scripted just change the script, if not just go and edit the code on your site.

This is an example of the code, I am not sure if it allows variable to be added like a price = (price + 1) or something, but I am pretty sure it does, I just can't find any info on it.

The option value prices are display text only.

the values in "os0" are the ones to change.

thanks for identifying the variable, anyone know how to make os0 = (os0 + 2) ? in a way that paypal will accept it ?

The problem you have here is the :
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="8522175">



This bit means it verifys against the button stored on paypals website ( when you generated it )

Changing values on the form can mean that value actually doesnt change when people visit the store ( is it uses the saved value on paypals system under that ID )

Sometimes you just need to generate a new button and paste the new code in / change the ID and prices.

The "hosted_button_id" is only required if you are saving the button data in your paypal account and using the code "short form" on your site. (Save Payment Buttons).

You would normally send either the button ID OR the payment parameters.
