As a small business consultant and webmaster for several start-up organizations, including Another Way Driving School, Career Essentials, LLC and DaySong Studio, I am often asked to create donation buttons for an event or new service offering. This step by steps guide will take you through the basic steps of creating a button that you can insert into your website or email message.
- Log into your personal or business PayPal account
- Click on the “Merchant Services” tab at the top of the page
- In the “Features you can use right now” area, click on the “Create payment buttons for your website” area.
- On the “Create PayPal payment button” page and complete the first of three steps outlined to create the button:
- Step 1:
- Choose a button type and enter your payment details
- Buy Now Button Process:
- Give the item a name
- Select a price
- Customize the button if needed
- Drop-down menu with price options
- Drop-down menu (without price)
- Add text field
- Drop-down menu with price options
- Add shipping or tax if needed
- Step 1:
- Two additional steps are optional and include the ability to track inventory and customize the check out page.
- Click the “Create Button” icon
- Follow the final three steps to copy the code for insertion in an email or web page
- Click Select Code to select all the button code.
- Copy the code (CTRL+C for Windows, CMD+C for Mac — or right-click and choose Copy).
