If you use dap generated button for paypal or the dap shopping cart, you can specify at button-level where you want the users redirected upon purchase and place the conversion code there.

NOTE: After purchase is compete, DAP automatically logs in the new member and redirects the user to the product-level post-login redirect URL field (or the post-login redirect field in dap setup -> config if product level is not specified).

If you put the conversion code in the webpage (post-login redirect url) that the new member is redirected to after the purchase is made, then every time the member logs in thereafter it will be a false conversion.

The good news is you can override the redirect settings at button level.

If you want to redirect the member to a thank-you page or some other page after purchase and place the conversion code there, you can do so.

For dap generated button for paypal standard, you can specify a 'redirect field' at button level. Read this for more details:

If you use the dap shopping button that connects to Paypal Pro or Authnet, you can specify where you want the users to land in the payment_succ_page field at button level.

I can't use DAP-generated buttons, because I need a simply URL, like https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/websc...d=XXXXXXXXXXXX rather than a <form> that DAP generates.

So, can DAP generate simply URL's to attach to buttons OR is there a way I can use Google Analytics conversions with PayPal-generated buttons ?

You can set the 'return URL' in Paypal button to point to a php page that you create... say http://YOURSITE.com/mygoogleanalyticspage.php. Then in that php script, add whatever tracking code you want... and also set a header redirect to whatever page you want the users to land on after the analytics stuff in taken care of in the .php.

In order to use PayPal with DAP, you advised me to set the Advanced Variables to notify_url=http://www.themusicbroker.net/dap/dap-paypal.php. When you say 'return URL' do you mean 'notify_url' or are you referring to something else ? Can PayPal both "notify" the URL in 'notify_url' AND return the customer to a specifc page ?

[Veena Prashanth]

No, the return url is a separate setting. When you generate paypal button, you will see there is an option to set 'cancel' url and 'return' url. It's separate from notify_url set under Advanced Variables.

So for a DAP generated button - if the user is sent to a eg 'thank you' page after purchase. Will there be an issue if the paypal account is the same one for multiple products?
