Adding more options to pay pal addtocart forms

[escellentguy]

Not sure if this is the correct forum, if not -- please direct me and I will post there.

I am working on a fairly straight forward e-commerce site using pay pal. For most items, pay pal works great for our needs, however, pay pal button factory only allows 2 input options (drop down or text) for only 2 variables. In most cases this is fine however, I need to alter the code slightly to allow more input for example:

a shopper selects a bracelet and may select "size" and "color" (which pay pal will generate) but the shopper may also add a birthstone and a name (neither of which alter the price).

I have been working on modifying the code as I know this is possible. I found a site

which

discusses this and the examples work great but it is very difficult to follow from the standpoint of modifying the code.

Does anyone know of a different faq page that I could read to learn how to do this?

Thank you very much for any assistance.

I just add options to a product to the description field when the form is submitted. How you could do it depends on what code you are using.

javascript, PHP, ASP etc.

Chris,

Thank you. I re-read what I think is an excellent tutorial on forms on the bravenet website (the most consise I have been able to find) and I think the information from you and these two sites really helped.

Thanks again!
