Actually, PayPal Pro is not necessary if you want to have the overlay-style cart appearing "inside" your page, though it does add a checkout button to your cart for card-based direct payments.



To get the overlay cart working, you just need to make sure you paste at least one complete block of your View Cart code (it's unique to you but the same for all your products) into every page that has any number of Add to Carts. The View Cart code includes a section of javascript that manages the cart overlay in your page.



I notice you're using WordPress, so you may be interested in the tips we provide here:

That is coming from the CSS in your WordPress theme, which the overlay cart is inheriting because it works as a part of your page. Figuring out how to override that would require some Web design expertise, for which this help page provides tips on how to proceed with sorting it out:

So, did Hulby end up going with PP Payments Pro?



I'm hoping for some assistance.



I like the way Hulby's window looks upon clicking 'Add to Cart' here:

The fact that you have the option for 'credit cards' (3rd button on the right)means you have pro, right?



I checked PP pro because I thought I had it - I pay an extra $20/month to pp for something, I thought it was pp pro - but then there was an error code that came up when people clicked on it.



So, I had to uncheck PRO, called pp and they said it was another $30 a month to have pp Pro.



So, now my clients can use cc but they have to click on a pp button first.



Here's an example:

Go to any of the "download' purchase buttons and you'll see what I mean.



So, my question is, is there any way that I can get that nice "Use your cc" button like on Hubly's page without having another upgrade on my account?



Thanks

Hulby, then you have "Pro", is that correct? Why did you decide to use that since people without pp can still use the pp flow for a cc without Pro?



Which gray shaded boxes? What do they say? I looked and am not sure what you are talking about.



I think my cart IS "inside" my page - when you go there to give me more details about YOUR question, let me know!



I'm in trying to get the affiliate stuff all set up and launch that - are you doing one?

Fitdream, if you want to use PayPal Website Payments Pro to accept card-based direct payments and add the separate checkout button for that in your cart, you would need to upgrade your PayPal account to Pro and also follow our integration instructions to make proper use of that service level, as explained here:

Hulby, the cart with grey table-cell backgrounds would be our standard cart appearance; your site's WordPress theme is overriding that. Unfortunately, sorting that out is not nearly as simple as what you've described trying already. The problem really requires in-depth working experience with CSS/HTML coding and Web page layout structure, and the tips on the help page I linked are intended to point someone with that knowledge towards looking in the right places to apply their expertise.



If you're not experienced enough in Web design to be capable of, say, writing your own WordPress theme in raw code from scratch (not that such is necessary here, just indicating the level of expertise required), the easiest thing you could do would probably be simply applying different WordPress themes to your site until you find one that doesn't override our cart's standard appearance. If you'd like some help trying to sort it out with your site's current theme, we can recommend the competent, E-junkie-experienced developers listed in our directory here:
