I searched through all the "paypal" related questions and didn't find a response.
So I have a mobile website and I created a Subscription button for a service I am offering.
How do I make this link work on mobile website?

on the desktop browser it works perfect but I would like to get this layout:

Unfortunately, mobile layout is not supported for Subscription buttons.
For now only merchants integrated with 'Buy Now' buttons or third party shopping carts (using “Cart Upload”) will benefit from Mobile PayPal Payments Standard.

I'm building a web app with Stripe checkout. On desktop it loads a nice modal when you go to pay, but on mobile it brings the users off to a Stripe page, and then back. I want it to look like the user is never leaving our site.
Is there a way to force the modal to be loaded on mobile? I'm building the web app in ionic at the same time, so if I want to turn it in to an app I can. Ionic uses a WebView on the phone and that loads the modal fine, so there must be some setting that is allowing it?
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
edit If I 'request desktop site' on my mobile it loads the modal fine
As Stripe makes these determinations based on the User-Agent you could try changing the User-Agent of your webview to match that of a desktop browser, (I did a similar thing except I needed to force mobile behavior in the desktop).
It should be stated, that this is definitely not recommended by Stripe nor supported and could break at any time. They'd recommend you just build a custom form using Stripe.js
How i can set User Agent in Cordova App has how to set the User-Agent in iOS and Android.
I've set up a Buy Now PayPal button on my site and everything works absolutely fine, including the PDT, etc.
However, on the mobile version of my site, the payment page is not at all mobile friendly. When the user clicks/taps "Buy Now", they are redirected to PayPal, but the screen that is displayed is not responsive.
I'm just using the standard code from the Buy Now button generated through PayPal. Am I missing something here?
Thanks in advance.
There are some feature that is not supported on mobile checkout page.
If you use these the checkout page will still be a PC page.
Please refer to the page below:

I'm working on a responsive website. Currently when a user clicks the "Tweet" or "Like" button it takes the user to another page to complete the steps. I wonder whether there is a way we can integrate iOS 6's inbuilt Twitter and Facebook functionality rather than directing to the user to another separate page.
Thanks in advance.
At this time of this writing, there is no way to access the Share Widget available on iOS6.

One of the big flaws in Android webphones (and probably other Operating Systems for phones): You are surfing some website, and want to use the site's embedded share button for say Twitter. You want to use the embedded Twitter share because it pre-populates the tweet based on how the site designed it: namely, it has the title of the page and the link and maybe a relevant Twitter hashtag. If you were to use your mobile browser's share feature, you only get the link, and have to attempt to type in the title and guess relevant hashtags--not ideal. The same is the case with other social media shares, like facebook.
So, from the above, you understand why users would prefer to use a given website's own embedded share features, rather than that built into the mobile browser.
However, if a user clicks the site's embedded social media share button, it opens a new browser window for that social media. Ideally, this would not happen, as typical users do not log into these social tools using the mobile browser, and the resulting pop-up share is clunky to use on a small mobile screen. Instead, ideally, you would click on the site's embedded share button and it would attempt to open at least the official twitter (or whatever) app on your phone instead. This is ideal because users tend to use the apps to use their social media, and so would already be logged in. Moreover, such an app is obviously optimized for mobile use, and thus not as clunky.
And yet, this apparently does not exist... am I right?
That is, as a web designer, there is nothing I can do on my embedded Twitter and Facebook share buttons to prompt mobile phone users to use the official app to share (rather than through the mobile browser). Is that right?
Thanks,
Derek
At least on my iPhone the twitter url-scheme does work.
the following opens the twitter app:
twitter://post?message=hello%20world
And facebook is fb://
Haven't tested it on android.

What about open a pop up box (not window)- when we click a link to share the URL site/page we are in, without have to go through the mobile browser ?
just a pop up box.
do you think it is possible? or any social media link would automatically opened in a browser?
I've a mobile version of my site which has a 'Donate via Paypal button' on it which is working fine. It's a button generated from within the paypal account that when clicked brings users to my account and asks them to enter an amount to donate and then either login or pay with CC.
Problem is the Paypal page it brings me to is not mobile optimised. From reading online It appears Paypal only offer the mobile enhanced version if you're using Paypal Mobile express checkout which is far more involved than simply adding a link onto your page.
The system I have now is 100% functional and does everything I want it to, I just want it to switch to the mobile version when you go to Paypal, to be honest it's very surprising Paypal doesn't do this automatically. They should detect a mobile browser and just change the stylesheet or redirect to the mobile-login page.
Is there any way of getting the mobile-styled paypal page without having to jump through the hoops of using the express payment system? I know it's not masively difficult but it is when compared to the really simple version I'm currently using.
After hours messing with Pain Pal I finally figured out the issue. If you use a link generated by PP for donating ON THEIR SITE - ie. You go to Paypal and once there you enter the amount you wish to donate - the it won't style as the mobile site.
However, if you take the amount in on your own site and pass it to Paypal then it will auto change to the mobile site.
Ignore anyone on line (and there are plenty of people who do) telling you that to get the mobile styled site you need to use their mobile express checkout. You do not. At least not in the above scenario.
As stated here the mobile optimisation is not working for "Donate" buttons.
Which command did you use ?
With cmd=_donations its not showing the mobile version. When you use cmd=_xclick its mobile optimised, but then its not a "Donation" Site.
