I have talked with PalPal on the phone and it seems that they can handle different shippers - ie, FedEx, UPS, USPS. I have a client who will be needing to accurately list the correct shipping via those three carriers and I gather that buyers will have a preference.
Paypal says they are restricted from using the name of the carrier but I can describe the carrier (ie, brown for UPS). And I gather I can put the correct name in the page html. Does anyone have enough experience to say for sure that they are able to do this as they say???
Thanks much!!!

Re: handling different shipping carriers and their costs
Bry what does PayPal say about the use of a Combobox/dropdown menu allowing the user to select the carrier? If they allow it just a matter of setting a Combobox in WB then use it in the PayPal button.
the Combobox code will look like this
the Combobox code will look like this
Code: Select all
<select name="Combobox1" size="1" id="Combobox1" style="position:absolute;left:55px;top:50px;width:105px;height:21px;z-index:0;">
<option value="3.95">UPS $3.95</option>
<option value="5.95">USPS $5.95</option>
<option value="7.95">FedEX $7.95</option>
</select>

Thanks BaconFries,
I will ask them next call but I'm not sure they will know what a combobox is.

Bry just mention a dropdown list or dropdown menu offering a selection of options.
