If you would like to use PayPal as a payment method for your account, you'll need to take some special steps to set it up.
1. Create a Thank You Page
Create a web site page called "thankyou.htm/php", using the add page feature within the Site Builder administration.
On this page, type out the following text:
Thank you for your payment. Your transaction has been completed, and a receipt for your purchase has been emailed to you. You may log into your account at https://www.paypal.com to view details of this transaction.
Save this page to your web site.
2. Update Your PayPal Account
Access your PayPal account and select the My Account tab.
Click the Profile subtab.
Click the Website Payment Preferences link in the Selling Preferences column on the right.
Click the Auto Return On radio button to turn on Auto Return
In the "Return URL", enter the web site of the page you created in step #1. (Note: Mals does not require you to enter a thank you page here - but if you plan to use PayPal outside Mals, you will need to add this page.)
Save the auto return variables.
3. Update Your Mals-E Account
In your Mals-E account, select the "Cart Setup" link.
Select the "PayPal" link under "Payments".
Enter your PayPal email address under the account ID.
Select the currency if needed.
Under Thank you page, select "return the customer back to the cart. See the notes below...".
Once you have updated your accounts, when a customer makes a purchase and pays via PayPal, they will automatically be taken to the Mals-E cart finish page, or to your thank you page if they didn't go through Mals to purchase your products.
IMPORTANT: Make sure that in step #3 you have selected the "return the customer back to the cart. See the notes below..." link. Do not add the thank you page you created in step 1 or choose any other radio buttons. The "Thank You" page you created in step 1 is ONLY used for payments that go through PayPal but not through Mals.
