I am running a Django app that is hooked up to paypal payments standard and that generates encrypted 'Buy Now' buttons. Everything works as it should on desktop, but when I use a mobile device (android and IOS), I do not get sent to the mobile optimized checkout page.
If I go to this non-encrypted test page, I actually get the mobile checkout page. As soon as I change that fake business email to my real one, I only get the desktop page.
This leads me to believe I have some kind of configuration issues in my merchant account, as opposed to an issue with encrypted buttons.
I looked at the documentation on x.com. They mention that the mobile checkout page is not compatible with these use cases:
- Instant Update API
- Buyer Supplied Price, Desc, Qty
- Profile Based Shipping & Tax Discounts
- Payment Type: Auth, Order
- Inventory Management
I originally had shipping rules, so I deleted those. I don't think I have any of the other things enabled, but its hard to tell seeing as these unsupported use cases are really vague. I've also read this SO post, and I have disabled my tax rules, but it did not fix the issue for me.
Does anyone have experience with this? Is there a way to force the mobile version of the checkout page, using paypal payments standard?
