How do I pass the amount and description to a PayPal Buy Now button?
I have generated a PayPal Buy Now button which leads to a payment page in which the user needs to enter the description and amount. However I would like to pass the amount and description directly to the button so the user does not have to add anything.
Below is the button code which I generated from PayPal. I added the currency_code and amount hidden fields but this is not passed through. I also need to pass the description.
Do I need to generate the button again? If so please advise on the selections.
