Add Google Checkout or Paypal

You can easily add the ability to accept payments via Google Checkout or Paypal to your SmugMug Site. Example on Moon River Photography.

The steps are fairly simple with either service.

Sign up with your service of choice.
Go to their tools section, they have a way to "add buttons"
create your button / form code
copy the generated code
insert the code into your SmugMug site, it goes in either a gallery description, or a caption. It is VERY important that the generated code goes in between <html> and </html> tags. Like this EXAMPLE code from Google Checkout, below:

<html>
 <form action="https://checkout.google.com/cws/v2/Merchant/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/checkoutForm" id="BB_BuyButtonForm" method="post" name="BB_BuyButtonForm">
    <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="1%">
        <tr>
            <td align="right" width="1%">
                <select name="item_selection_1">
                    <option value="1">&#x24;1,000.00 - Wedding Deposit</option>
                    <option value="2">&#x24;1,000.00 - Special Events Booking Fee</option>
                </select>
                <input name="item_option_name_1" type="hidden" value="Wedding Deposit"/>
                <input name="item_option_price_1" type="hidden" value="1000.0"/>
                <input name="item_option_description_1" type="hidden" value=""/>
                <input name="item_option_quantity_1" type="hidden" value="1"/>
                <input name="item_option_currency_1" type="hidden" value="USD"/>
                <input name="item_option_name_2" type="hidden" value="Special Events Booking Fee"/>
                <input name="item_option_price_2" type="hidden" value="1000.0"/>
                <input name="item_option_description_2" type="hidden" value=""/>
                <input name="item_option_quantity_2" type="hidden" value="1"/>
                <input name="item_option_currency_2" type="hidden" value="USD"/>
            </td>
            <td align="left" width="1%">
                <input alt="" src="https://checkout.google.com/buttons/buy.gif?merchant_id=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&amp;w=121&amp;h=44&amp;style=white&amp;variant=text&amp;loc=en_US" type="image"/>
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>
</form>
</html>
