Mobile optimized checkout for PayPal Website Payments Standard

Question

How can I get the \"mobile optimized checkout experience\" to work as described by PayPal on their Mobile Website Payments Standard page https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/

Answer 1

Try updating your example with an email address other than name@domain.com. I used your code exactly as is with email=seller@designerfotos.com (an example email PayPal uses for sample buttons) and it worked just fine. Went into the mobile optimized website payments standard experience.

Also, make sure your account (email address) that you're testing with doesn't have any shipping and tax rules defined in the profile settings. These are marked as currently unsupported at https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/products/mobile-website-payments-standard. You can pass in shipping and tax values as button parameters and those should work.
