Integrating Your Website Using API

Using the Button Manager API with Hosted Solution Checkout

To create a checkout button on your website, you call the BMCreateButton API operation.

When the buyer clicks on the checkout button, PayPal initiates the Hosted Solution checkout

flow.

You must decode the response from the BMCreateButton API. For information about URL

encoding, refer to the

Name-Value Pair API Developer Guide.

There are two options in the response to initiate the Hosted Solution payment flow:

 Using URL Returned in the Response (Recommended)

 Using Form POST

Using URL Returned in the Response (Recommended)

Using the URL identified in the response as EMAILLINK, you can redirect the buyer and

initiate the payment flow.
