After I generate the code within PayPal I install it in the footer of a HTML module. The cord renders the PayPal button on my site but the button does not work. When I click on the button it just refreshes the page and returns back to the same page. It does not go to PayPal to complete the purchase. Any ideas as to how I can fix this? I am using DNN 9.4. Thank you.

Have you tried just pasting it in the HTML module itself? Make sure the HTML module is set to basic / raw as it will otherwise strip the SCRIPT tag

Thank you Tycho, I did try that and it still does not work. There is very little info on this topic but from what I understand the issue is that PayPa uses the <form>> tag and DNN does not like that.

Thanks for sending the snippet. Indeed the form tag is the issue. Mitch did a short blog on this once

BTW: another solution if you are not a dev : https://www.dnnsharp.com/.../integrations/paypal
This requires ActionForm as well. If you already have that, it is a viable option.
