Paypal plugin - can I send customers to custom payment pages?

Is there any way for amember to send someone to a custom payment page?

PayPal requires the buyer to make payment on the PayPal site but I believe their PayFlow Pro option(kind of spendy) allows you to create your own custom payment pages. If someone here uses that they might be able to elaborate but PayPal has a pretty good help section on the different options available.

Yes its possible.

In plugins/payment/paypal_r/paypal_r.inc (if you're using regular paypal payments, not pro) there are two places to add code.

1. Find the function: do_recurring_bill and add the page_style variable (2nd to last line in each below) that you want visitors to see when they get to paypal.

Partial code example...

PHP:

function do_recurring_bill($amount, $title, $products, $u, $invoice){
        global $db, $config;
        $vars = array(
            'cmd'         => '_xclick-subscriptions',
            'business'    => $this->config['business'],
            'return'      =>
               "$config[root_url]/thanks.php?payment_id=$invoice",
            'notify_url'  =>
               $this->notify_url ? $this->notify_url :
               "$config[root_url]/plugins/payment/paypal_r/ipn.php",
            'item_name'   => $title,


            'page_style'  => 'yourcustompaypalpage',


            'no_shipping' => 1,
           

2. Find the do_not_recurring_bill function and add there.
Partial code example...

PHP:

function do_not_recurring_bill($amount, $title, $products, $u, $invoice){
        global $config;

        $vars = array(
            'cmd'         => '_xclick',
            'business'    => $this->config['business'],
            'return'      =>
               "$config[root_url]/thanks.php?payment_id=$invoice",
            'notify_url'  =>
               $this->notify_url ? $this->notify_url :
               "$config[root_url]/plugins/payment/paypal_r/ipnr.php",
            'cancel_return' =>
               "$config[root_url]/cancel.php?payment_id=$invoice",
            'item_name'   => $title,
            'shipping'    => '0.0',


            'page_style'  => 'yourcustompaypalpage',


            'no_shipping' => 1,

Thank you a lot. So do I use the name of the paypal custom payment page or a URL for it? Like if under paypal I call my payment page 'pay2' would I just switch the name in that php to 'pay2'?

Thanks for this. I was looking to add a custom page to this as well. Worked like a charm!

Here is an example of what you can do with a custom coding and design job that uses the aMember/PayPal Pay Flow Pro: https://www.blinetestprep.com/amember/signup.php?product_id=12

It took about 40 hours of work to get working properly but was well worth it. It is improving conversions. Good Luck!
