How to Redirect Back to Website After PayPal Payment


1. Log in to your PayPal account. Click the 'Merchant Services' tab to access PayPal's tools for online merchants. Click the icon labeled 'Buy Now Button.' A new page will load containing the options to create a PayPal button that lets your customers purchase an item using credit cards or their PayPal balance.
2. Fill out the 'Step 1' options that explain what the item in question is and set a price for it. Select a button type, choose tax and shipping amounts if applicable for the item you're selling and customize the button if you wish using the provided customization options. Set your preferred merchant account ID as the default for the purchase or select an email address associated with your account from the drop-down list.
3. Click the 'Step 2' section to expand it and access your tracking options. The option to save the button to your PayPal account is selected by default, though you can unselect it if you wish. You can also choose to track both inventory and profits or loss using PayPal sales through the button.
4. Click the 'Step 3' section to set optional advanced features. Answer the questions in the section to add features such as a need for the buyer's address or an option for buyers to give you special instructions.
5. Check the 'Take Customers to This URL When They Finish Checkout' box to enable the page forwarding option once their payment is complete. Enter the address of the website you want to redirect your customer to in the text box. You may also add the option of directing them to a specific web page if the checkout process is canceled as well.
6. Click the 'Create Button' button to have PayPal generate the code for the button you've created. Paste this button on the website of your choosing to create a PayPal payment option that redirects your customers back to the page you specified once their payments are complete.
