Show only my website name in the URL

Post by markarkark »

Hello,
I have a website that accepts orders through Paypal then redirects the user to a page the user can specify details of their order. On the redirect, I would like the URL to state only my website name, rather than the specific page. The reason, is the user after their first order can then not pay, type in the address, and order more. I have looked for days but cannot find an answer. I have seen many answers on websites that simply state they don't like this practice. But without it I don't know how to secure my business.

Thanks for your help.

mark.

Putting aside the fact that it's not actually possible to do what you want, it's the wrong solution to the wrong problem.

The real problem is that your site provides a way to (apparently) place multiple orders and only pay for one. I'm not even sure how it could possibly work that way. What does the checkout process look like?
