HTML Variables for Filling Out PayPal Checkout Pages
Automatically
HTML variables for filling out PayPal checkout pages automatically let you specify
information about buyers. PayPal recommends that you include automatic fill-out variables
with all of your payment buttons for consistent address handling in the checkout experience of
your buyers.
NOTE: When you pass in address_override=1 or tax or shipping variables, PayPal
displays the values in the payment widget. Also, PayPal hides the calculation widget,
regardless of setting up shipping and tax rates in your Account Profile.
HTML Variables for Filling Out PayPal Checkout Pages Automatically for Buyers

word “Merchant” by default. For Donate buttons, the text
reads “Return to donations coordinator” by default.
NOTE: The cbt variable takes effect only if the return
variable is set.

they cancel checkout before completing their payments. For
