After the paypal submit buttons.

[williamlsteele]

I've got a Dreamweaver plugin that allows me to build nice little buttons for Paypal. However, since the Ecommerce side of things is new, I'm not quite sure where to direct (or how) after the Paypal transaction is complete. Once I get out of the Paypal sequence, I want to go to a member section with sessions, but only members can log in. Does Paypal or someone have directions on how to incorporate receiving their payment with sending a login page?

Are you using a shopping cart or a forum or is this a hand created static store?

If you just need them to land at a login page, and do not need to automatically log them in to that area (for example, you want them to look in their email receipt for their password), then you can just set the Return URL to the location of that login page.

You can set this up using Auto Return in the Profile of your PayPal account, or you can just add a variable named "return" to your payment button and can set the value of that variable to the URL where you want the customers to end up after the payment.

To enable Auto Return, log in to your account, click on Profile, and then click on the Website Payment Preferences link in the column on the right. Set "Auto Return" to "On", fill in a default URL for your buyers to be directed to after a payment in the "Return URL" box, and scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Save".
