When a customer makes a paypal transaction, how can I add a parameter to their purchase? The item(s) and price come through fine, but I have an additional field on checkout that isn't being captured when purchasing through paypal.
Are you using a hosted button? If so, you can't add your own data directly. It would have to be done in the button manager, and it's very limited there because you can't use dynamic variables as values.
With non-hosted button code, you can add a parameter called "custom" and put anything you want there up to 256 characters. This will come back in IPN as a POST variable named "custom" as well.
If you're unsure about whether your button is hosted or not just look at the HTML they gave you to paste into your page. If it has a hosted_button_id you know it's hosted.

I have created email contents as an html page.
I have placed 4 check boxes and every time one of them is checked I want to run ajax which calls a url with parameters. Is such a thing possible or the email client will not run it for security reasons or/and other reasons?
I can do it with a link to a page with the same contents but the recipient may not bother to click the link.
The whole idea is: Can we run ajax calls in html email contents as if the contents were in an autonomous web page?
No you can't. All JavaScript is stripped from emails for security reasons. The best you can do, as you've listed, is to have a link in the email with parameters to allow the landing page to do it.
You can achieve interactivity, however, with checkboxes - such as hiding/showing content (already placed in emails). If you're already inserting the parameters, I'm assuming then you have the information--so place that content hidden in the email, which when checked, shows. Mark Robbins shows how it's done: https://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2015/10/punched-card-coding-the-secret-of-interactive-email/ (if that's what you wanted, let us know in the comments and/or include your code and we can give a tailored example)
If you go into amend Settings for a custom tab that you have created before, is there anyway to get the existing websiteUrl and contentUrl values in your configuration page?
The microsoftTeams.getContext method doesn't seem to make these Urls available (like it does entityId).
Thanks.
I think you'll need to persist this your side (e.g. in a database), and re-query them from your settings page. This is exactly why the "save" button won't become enabled until you're ready for it (by calling microsoftTeams.settings.setValidityState) - it's for your code to do whatever it needs before allowing the user to actually save any changes.
I have CaptainForm plugin installed on WordPress integrated website, CaptainForm is having Square Payment Gateway integrated with it.
I have created Form using CaptainForm and having Checkout Button on it, When I click on Checkout Button, the page is taking me to below page (as shown in screen shot) . I want the Square Payment Form should automatically capture the data like Name, Address, entered on form (of CaptainForm) to its Payment Page -
Square Payment Page
Square Payment Page is only capturing the Email from CaptainForm Forms (filled on previous page)
How can i capture all the data like Name, address, etc.
The only two fields that you can pre-populate are the buyer's email and the buyer's shipping address. You will not be able to pass the buyer's name to automatically fill it out. In order to have the address populate, you need to fill out the pre_populate_shipping_address field when calling CreateCheckout. I'm not familiar with the CaptainForm plugin, so I don't know how it works with the plugin.

Is there a way to create a page in ClickFunnels(https://www.clickfunnels.com/) website and when I submit that page, I need to store the form details in my rails app(into a particular table). Which means I want to display my database in the clickfunnels integrations list. I googled hours but couldn't get much information on this.
can anyone suggest me if you have done this. A reference link also much appreciated.
We couldn't find any way to do this inside clickfunnels itself, if there is a easy way to add custom systems to their integrations I too look forward to seeing those answers. Until then, here's what we did: We just put our custom form on their page and used ajax to send it back out the end point in our system it needed to hand that data too.
Then, since we also needed to submit the same info to click funnels, we build a fake CF form(I think we actually put one on the page, but used CSS to hide it, then filled it out dynamically from our custom form), and call submit on that form, sending the user through the normal click funnels submission process and sending them to the next page in the funnel.
I'm currently trying to integrate Econda tracking in the one page checkout process of a magento webshop with the special requirement that the tracking which is normaly done on the thank-you-page already is done once the customer clicks the place-order-button (between button click and redirect to payment provider or thank-you-page). The tracking code itself is dynamically created by an magento extension and injected as html into the phtml file of the thank-you-page. By loading that phtml the information is sent. Also the order in magento must exists before the tracking code can be injected (means place order button must already be clicked).
Currently I'm trying to create an "invisible" phtml, which is loaded once the customer clicks place-order-button and which contains the tracking code. This page should be shown for some seconds and then forward/redirect to either the payment provider or the thank-you-page. This is where I'm totally lost.
I have an observer on the event that is fired once the order is complete/saved. This observer calls an action within my model. But the model can not load/show a phtml.
How can I load a custom phtml-file once the customer clicks the place-order-button, show this phtml for some seconds, and then dynamically forward to either payment provider or thank-you-page?
The Cart Success page, by its very nature is the place that you should be putting any e-commerce tracking Javascript or markup.
It's the very first thing to be delivered to the browser once all the necessary order processing has gone on in the back end. Delivering them to an interim page for only a few seconds seems cumbersome and ultimately inefficient. It's possible, but it's bad practice.
Do you have any particular reason why the success page is insufficient? I can't seem to find that in your question.
Loading a new block into your success page is an easy process. Learn some more about Layouts and Templates (Maybe try Alan Storm's tutorial here) and use this method.
There would be two more options:
You could add your tracking to the on click event of your button
You could use server side tracking using the econda PHP SDK
Here's how you can add tracking to click events
<script type="text/javascript">
function trackIt() {
window.emosPropertiesEvent({
siteid: "my-site.de",
content: "CONTENT-LABEL"
});
}
</script>
<tag onclick="trackIt();">content</tag>
Be careful using click event tracking in links, it will not work if your page unloads before the tracking event was send.
I could not find the english version of the econda PHP SDK documentation, so sorry, here are the German docs: https://support.econda.de/display/INDE/PHP-Helferklasse
As already mentioned, your thank-you page is the best place to add tracking. An additional reason is, that normally you want to track if a customer really ordered or not. Payment pages are common problems, so it makes no sense to add "order successful" tracking calls before.
