Updating paypal checkout..

[crust]

Hi, I'm trying to update the paypal section of my checkout page due to the information paypal has given me. I was having trouble accepting payments from paypal, an error message said something to the effect that there was a problem with the store owners email address. Paypal has given me a code to install to see if this will take care of the problem. I guess the short of it is to send payment to the store and not to an indiviual email address. Any help on where to place this code would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

If you have your own shopping cart, you will want to pass your

information

to a PayPal payment page. You will need to post this information to our

system using our upload variable. You will need to use the variables

that

we have defined in our system and not your own for our system to

recognize

the information. You will need to post your value to the values of our

variables. Below you will see the minimal variables needed.

 

The minimal variables needed are:

 

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"

method="post">

 

<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">

 

<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1">

 

<input type="hidden" name="business" value="Your PayPal Email

Address">

 

<input type="hidden" name="item_name_1" value="Post Your Value

Here">

 

 

<input type="hidden" name="amount_1" value="x.xx">

 

<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">

 

</form>

Here's the whole email sent from paypal when I called them.

developer

an error message said something to the effect that there was a problem with the store owners email address.

 

I think it's a problem at the PayPal end, given that my store owners email address is correct.
