Hello,





I am a merchant I want to sell products on my own website and set up an affiliate program with ejunkie to recruit affiliates, but I do not want to add ejunkie's add to cart and view cart buttons or any other buttons options ejunkie offers on my website, I just want to stick with using Paypal's original 'buy now' tabs on my site.



If so how do I set up my Paypal buttons so I could still successfully run an affiliate program with ejunkie.



I know one thing is when I set up my Paypal buttons i can direct buyers to a certain page after they have made a purchase. But I dont know how if that can be utilized to work with ejunkie.



Or if theres an alternative way to make it work please let me know.



Regards



Harley

I am sorry, but there is not a way to use our affiliate program, or any of or other features, unless you use the purchase buttons we provide.



Your buyers will still checkout via PayPal and you can change the image of the button codes we provide by customizing them, so your website could still be setup to look the same:

I did exactly what you have instructed me to do. Now the 'buy now' tabs I have on my sites looks exactly like the Paypal buy now tabs instead of ejunkie's buy now tab.





However there was something missing when customers made a purchase by clicking through my newly created 'buy now' tabs. After the payment is completed and processed by Paypal, normally the transaction will be recorded on a page which can be accessed in my Paypal account (by clicking details of the transaction) and the details (name and address) of the customer would be available to view, but not with customers who used my newly created 'buy now' tabs to make a purchase, instead when I access my transaction page I only find the quote 'We have no postal address on file'.



It seems like the customer wasn't taken to a page to fill in the details before the payment was processed. Is this skip normal with ejunkie's buy now codes?



I need to mention, this didn't happen with ejunkie's add cart codes.

Make sure you enable Shipping/Buyer's Address in the settings of each product which should trigger collection of a street address during checkout.

First, obtain the PayPal button image URL you wish to use from here:

1https://developer.paypal.com/webapps/developer/docs/classic/api/buttons/1



Once you have that URL, copy and paste your standard E-junkie button code into your page, then simply replace the src= URL in that code with the PayPal button URL you obtained -- e.g., if your standard E-junkie Buy Now button code looks like this example:



<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?i=XXXXXX&c=single&cl=YYYYYY" target="ejejcsingle"><img src="http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/x-click-butcc.gif" border="0" alt="Buy Now"/></a>



...and you want to use this PayPal Buy Now button image:



https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/enUS/btn/btn_buynow_cc_171x47.png



...then your modified Buy Now button code would look like this:



<a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?i=XXXXXX&c=single&cl=YYYYYY" target="ejejcsingle"><img src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/enUS/btn/btn_buynow_cc_171x47.png" border="0" alt="Buy Now"/></a>
