Q: 

PayPal $0 Dollar Transaction?

Hi. I have a client who wants a paypal shopping cart. All of the services have "Buy Now" buttons, all with different prices.

However, there is one service, which is a FREE 0 dollar service. The client wants the "Buy Now" button to remain there, to be consistent with the rest of the site.

Does anyone know how I can do a $0 dollar transaction with paypal? I can't find any insight on this being possible.

Thanks.

Leave the 'buy now' there, but just don't process that transaction through PayPal in your code. Do things behind the scenes to make it work.
