Answer
NOTE: You will need at least a Premier PayPal account or a Business PayPal account to be able to use this function in PayPal. This feature is not available for a (PayPal) Personal account type.
 
If you want to set up a redirect or auto-return after accepting a PayPal payment for a product or service that is purchased on your website, please do the following:
 
1.) Login to your PayPal account, www.paypal.com 
2.) Click “MY ACCOUNT” -> Profile
3.) Under My Profile -> select MY SELLING TOOLS -> click “Website payment preferences”
4.) Click “on” for “auto-return”
5.) You must enter a return URL, http://merliza.santu.com/contents/en-us/thankyou.html 
6.) Click Save
 
Everytime a buyer completes payment in PayPal, they will be automatically redirected to your shop’s Thank you page rather than clicking on “Return to shop” link in PayPal page.
