I am using PayPal for my new website. This means that once someone clicks
on the "buy now" or "add to cart" button, I do not see what happens --
unless a sale is completed or it is taken to the last step and then
canceled. If they add to cart but never sign in at PayPal, I get no data
from PayPal about that.
Any ideas as to how I could at least track if people click "add to cart"?
Here is the basic code they provide:
<form target="paypal" action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr"
method="post">
<p align="right" style="margin-bottom: 0">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart"> <input type="hidden"
name="business" value="(e-mail address removed)">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="My Product"> <input
type="hidden" name="item_number" value="LW1">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="10.00"> <input type="hidden"
name="return" value="http://www.mysite.com/my_thankyou_pg.htm">
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.mysite.com">
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD"><input type="image"
src="../images/button.gif" border="0" name="I6" alt="Use your Visa,
MasterCard, Discover, or Amex card - or PayPal account" align="center"
width="80" height="57">
<input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">
</form>
Could I add something to their button submit code that would write to a txt
file on my server, in background? (I am on a hosted Unix server w/ FP
extensions and no ASP. Me: FP 2000 and Win98SE.) Note that their cart
pops-up in a new (secure) window (if that matters). Thanks.
