Adding Paypal Shipping

When setting up the Paypal forms in any Allwebco template you can also add a shipping and handling option. You can also generate this code at Paypal. Login to your Paypal account and see their instructions.

Options: In the sample below we have added 3 shipping lines. You can add any 1 or all 3 to your template Paypal forms. Keep in mind that depending on your Paypal settings the "handling_cart" option below will always work and may be your only option to add.


About the options: Paypal support indicates how each of the three highlited (see below) options work:

shipping: (applies to first item added to cart)
shipping2: (applies to each additional item added to cart)
handling_cart: (applied once to cart regardless of quantity)


What to use: You can copy any one or all three highlighted lines below and add these to any Allwebco template Paypal form. The exact location in respect to the other Paypal options does not matter.

<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="your@email.com">
<input type="hidden" name="quantity" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Item1-1">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="35.00">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="15.25">
<input type="hidden" name="shipping2" value="1.25">
<input type="hidden" name="handling_cart" value="1.05">
<input type="hidden" name="custom" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://yourdomain.com/thanks-payment.htm">
<input type="submit" value="Add to Cart">

You will find other Paypal setup info on your help.html if Paypal forms have been setup on your template. Also see the developers area in your Paypal account.



Adding a payment choice:
In the sample below clients can choose a shipping method and the shipping cost will be added at checkout.




Copy the code below and paste this into your template Paypal forms. You can add this just before the form "submit" button line. This should be the only form element named "shipping" in your Paypal forms. You can generally not include the other two shipping options outlined above if you use the following code.






Problems with shipping & how to setup more options:
If the shipping options on this page will not work for your setup (The Paypal combined shipping for example does not work for all items) you can login to your Paypal account and setup "Shipping Calculations". This option in your account will be under "Profile", then under "Shipping Calculations". You can also find more options under "Shipping Preferences" in your Paypal profile. You may want to investigate the "allow transaction-based shipping" options.
