Im stuck. I really hope you guys can help me :(

You’re looking at a page, and you wanted ITEM A, so you decided to put ITEM A into CART (Using Paypal Add to cart button)

However, every single time you click the "add to cart" button, it’ll direct you to Paypal’s own "view cart" website to see the quantity/price of ITEM A. Then, you would have to click "continue shopping" (from paypal site) to go back into THE WEBSITE you ADD ITEM A.

What I want to know is:

How to Embed "view cart" (from paypal’s site) within my own website, so I can continue shopping (without being redirected back from paypal’s site) ?

Thank you!
I hope my question was clear…

    Unless you have set up your own Payment Gateway and must use PayPal’s Shopping Cart code, you will have to put up with the code they give you which takes you to their secure server for processing. Be better if you installed the eCommerce package your paid hosting site provides inside the account’s Control Panel.

    If you do this and accept Credit Card information, you will need your own secured server ans a Security Certificate (Verisign).

    PayPal’s shopping cart is designed "only" to work that way. You can get a 3rd party cart and implement it on your website where it will transfer the payment data to PayPal at the end… iow, work as you want it to work.

    You might also consider that many are use to the behavior of PayPal’s shopping cart so it might not be that bad, although not too professional.

    I understand what you want… you want it to behave like eBay does, where you pick item after item and at a later point you say you want to ‘check-out" and then, and only then, does it take you to PayPal’s site.

    With a 3rd party shopping cart solution you can create that same type of behavior.
