I am getting error “some information missing..” on paypal when my site will redirect to paypal.
following is html page and code behind from where control goes to payapl

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>PayPal Payment Detail</title>
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
    function submitform() {

        var frm = this.document.getElementById('confirmOrder1');
        frm.submit();
    }
</script>
 </head>
<body onload="submitform();">
<form name="confirmOrder1" runat="server" id="confirmOrder1" method="post">
<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="cmd" name="cmd" />    
<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="business" name="business" />
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" runat="server" id="no_shipping" />
<input type="hidden" name="return" id="return" runat="server"  />
<input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" id="cancel_return" runat="server" />
<input type="hidden" name="notify_url" runat="server" id="notify_url" />
<input type="hidden" name="currency_code" runat="server" id="currency_code" />

<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="item_name_1" name="item_name_1" value="Item 1" />
<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="amount_1" name="amount_1" value="20" />


<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="item_name_2" name="item_name_2" value="Item 2" />
<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="amount_2 name="amount_2" value="20" />

<input type="hidden" name="tax" id="tax" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="upload" value="1" />

<%--<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="item_name" name="item_name" value="Item 1" />
<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="amount" name="amount" value="20.00" />--%>
<%--<input type="submit" value="Buy!" />--%>
<div style="text-align: center;">
    <h4>
        We are redirecting you to paypal
        <br />
        It will take some time meanwhile do not refresh ,go to back or close page</h4>
</div>
</form>
</body>

and code behind is like

 cmd.Value = "_cart";    // set for multiple items or cart
            //cmd.Value = "_xclick"; // set for single item

            business.Value = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["BusinessAccountKey"];
            bool useSandbox = Convert.ToBoolean(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["UseSandbox"]);

            if (useSandbox)
                confirmOrder1.Action = "https://www.sandbox.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr";
            else
                confirmOrder1.Action = "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr";

            cancel_return.Value = clsAppConfig.CancelURL; //System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CancelURL"];

            @return.Value = clsAppConfig.ReturnURL; // +"&PaymentId=" + paypalParams.FindByText("PaymentId").Value;
            notify_url.Value = clsAppConfig.NotifyURL; // +"?PaymentId=" + paypalParams.FindByText("PaymentId").Value;
            currency_code.Value = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CurrencyCode"];

it works very well for 1 item but for multiple item i am getting error , please anyone can suggest me what i am missing here..?

Thanks
Arun.

    If you have more then one product you will need to do multiple posts example also change the cmd value to “_cart”

    My Cart Item 1:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="paypal">

    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
    <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">

    <input type="hidden" name="business" value="youremailaddress@yourdomain.com">
    <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="My Cart Item 1">

    <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="10.00">
    <input type="hidden" name="shopping_url" 
           value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/shoppingpage.html">

    <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/success.html">
    <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/cancel.html">

    <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF:x-click-but22.gif:NonHosted">
    <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but22.gif" border="0"

        name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
    <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1"

        height="1">
</form>

My Cart Item 2:
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="paypal">

    <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_cart">
    <input type="hidden" name="add" value="1">

    <input type="hidden" name="business" value="youremailaddress@yourdomain.com">
    <input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="My Cart Item 2">

    <input type="hidden" name="amount" value="5.00">
    <input type="hidden" name="shipping" value="1.00">

    <input type="hidden" name="shopping_url" 
        value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/shoppingpage.html">
    <input type="hidden" name="return" value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/success.html">

    <input type="hidden" name="cancel_return" value="http://www.yourwebsite.com/cancel.html">
    <input type="hidden" name="bn" value="PP-ShopCartBF:x-click-but22.gif:NonHosted">

    <input type="image" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/x-click-but22.gif" border="0"
        name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">

    <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1"
        height="1">
</form>
