That's basically it. I'm looking for a way to collect form entry data of 1 text box and 4 or 5 options and send it dirctly to check out at PayPal. Allowing the user to edit the entries in the check out is best but not required if it's a hassle.

I created a (very) simple web store for my wife, with PayPal
http://www.direct2usales.com

As far as I know, there is no way to pass dynamic data to PayPal

Everything I pass to the PayPal shopping cart is hard wired in the code for each "add to cart" command on the site... based on the example code I downloaded when developing the store site

For anything else, if it is even possible, you might browse around at the PayPal developer site to see if they say anything about passing dynamic data to their shopping cart... I never saw anything like that, but it's been awhile since I got her store code working, so PayPal could have added new options since the last time I looked

Did you get anywhere with this? I'm looking to do the same thing.

Please email me at 'simply strat at hot mail [.] com' (take out the spaces) if you know how to resolve this.
Many Thanks
