Thanks, Candance. Unofrtunately I feel like this demo is missing bits of info that may be obvious to SQL coders but not to amateurs like me (sorry). Based on the demo, I added this into the PayPal Gateway section:
&item_name=CinCHouse Classified Ads
&amount=$(amount)
&no_shipping=0
I deleted the caluclation option code. Then for each item, I added the values into each item's "Update Option Value". So for Item 1 (one Classified ad), I put:
amount=7
For two classified ads, I used: "amount=14" and so on. These are the tokens used by PayPal.
Finally, I delibertaely cut and paste these terms here because I ultimately get the PayPal error. What could I be doing wrong now?
