How do I get PayPal to redirect users back to my website after a successful payment?

How to set PayPal to send customers back to your UENI website after a successful payment.

After paying with PayPal, customers normally land on a Payment Successful page. Set PayPal to send them straight back to your website instead, so they can keep browsing your products and learning about your business.

Note: You need a PayPal business account to accept payments. Your customers can pay by card without a PayPal account.

Step 1: Log in to PayPal

Step 2: Open Website payments

  1. Click your name in the top-right corner.

  2. Select Account Settings.

  3. Click Website payments in the bottom-left of the screen.

  3. Enter your website address in the Return URL field.

  4. Click Save.
