How to integrate PayPal-Buy Now button in HTML (JSP/PHP)

In order to perform PayPal testing, you must first need sandbox accounts. Sandbox accounts act as real accounts but the transactions that happen are not actually monetary - they only demonstrate the transactions. You can simply create them by browsing to Accounts in PayPal Developer Dashboard. PayPal Developer Documentation has numerous useful documentations for developers.

Make sure to create both a buyer(Personal) and a seller(Business) accounts.

Once the sandbox accounts are set up, you can use the following template to implement the "Buy Now" button.

	<form action="https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="POST">
	<input type="hidden" name="business" value="bookportal@bookportal.lk"><!--Your business account details-->
	<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick">
	<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Item name"><!--Buying item name-->
	<input type="hidden" name="amount" value="item value"><!--Buying item value-->
	<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="USD">
	<input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://localhost:8080/BookPortal/site/payment/paypalsuccess.jsp"><!--Where to return to after successful transaction-->
	<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="2">
	<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://localhost:8080/BookPortal/site/payment/paypalcancel.jsp"> <!--Where to return to after cancelling a transaction-->
	<input type="image" name="submit" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online">
