Hi All,

I have a page where there are two groupings of nine products each, with thumbnail photos for each product.

My client wants her customers to be able to choose from any of these products and change the quantity, then add them to the PayPal shopping cart, without have a "details" page for each of the products individually.

Can 9 products go into the same form, have an add to cart button, editable quantity box, and then pass the info over to PayPals cart so the customer can see what they ordered?

I tried with item_number_1, item_number_2, etc, with other details, but it didnt work.

Any ideas?

So you want the customer to be able to select multiple items at once and add them all to the cart with one click of the Add button?

You might be able to do this with a custom script, e.g. have a checkbox next to each item, then parse through the form looking for selected items and building the list of item_name_1, _2, etc. (You have to have consecutive item numbers for it to work, which might have been why you couldn't get it to work earlier - you can't have just items 2 and 5, for example.)
