Head on to Merchant Services -> Buy Now Buttons

Item Details

You can create a Buy Now/ Pay Now button for any of your items or services. The Item Number is there for you to categorize your number of items or services (example, if you have a shopping cart). Select your choice of currency and the weight of the item (for delivery charges purposes say if you were to engage a courier)

There are 6 different types of buy/pay now type of buttons. If they don’t suit your web page, you can always customize a button and have it uploaded somewhere for it to be used with Paypal checkout.

Button Encryption

For products/ services that doesn’t require much changes in terms of price or miscellaneous data, it’s best that you choose ‘Yes‘.

Set your shipping method and tax amount here so that your buyer can incur the required costs.

Click on ‘Create Button Now’, you’re done! A bunch of HTML codes will be displayed, just simply cut and paste the text to where you’d like your Paypal button to appear.

That’s my button, someone wants to try and send me some funds to see if it works? *Blinks
