How to Substitute Submit Button with PayPal Button

Permalink
I'm a total newbie to everything on the internet so I apologize upfront for any dumb questions. I've been "volunteered" to help a nonprofit with it's web site and I'm almost done except for the e-commerce part.

We put on events and charge attendees an amount to basically break even. The person registering often registers for several people and we need to capture all the names. The way I'm trying to implement this is to create a form to capture the name and contact info for the person registering and all the names he is registering. Then he clicks a Paypal "Pay Now" button where he finalizes the transaction.

I want to substitute the "Submit" button with the PayPal button. Or find some other work around. I thought of the Submit taking the user to another page with only the PayPal button but that page would look kinda silly with nothing but that on it.

If it requires getting into code, please let me know where I can find the file to alter. I've been looking around my files in CPanel and couldn't find it. Also as a newbie, I could use all the details you can get yourself to provide.

Thanks!

There is an addon that does exactly what you're talking about. I have used it, and can say it works as advertised.

Although it's $65, that's a reasonable price for saving on lots of development time, and easily pays for itself.

Hey Thanks Growthcurve!!!

I looked at the two screen casts as well as the screen shots and it does exactly what I want as far as that submit button goes.

I'll be checking it further.

Aloha,
