PayPal Button Form Conversion for ASP.NET

This utility converts a standard PayPal button form so it will work inside an ASP.NET page.

Instructions:

  • Paste the PayPal-generated code into the text area below.
  • Click the Convert button.
  • Paste the converted code into your ASP.NET page.

PayPal Code:

Converted ASP.NET Code:

Note 1: I have not tested this converter with every permutation of PayPal button. If you have problems with it, use the contact link at the top of this page to send your button code to me and I'll adjust the converter accordingly. There's nothing secret in the button code: anyone can do a view source on your page and see it.

Note 2: The converter only works for one PayPal button on a given page. The problem is that all the buttons of the same type use the same field names. The workaround requires additional tweaks to the PayPal code and some inventive JavaScripting, and I just haven't had time to experiment with it. If you put together a solution you'd be willing to share, please contact me.
