Installing payment buttons on your website through PayPal is easy, as long as you use their payment buttons.

However if you have your own artwork, or have a ready made sales page that you want to use with payment buttons provided, I have found PayPal’s instructions to be unclear.

So here is how you do it:

(1)Go to the Pay Pal site and click Merchant Services then
(2) click Buy Now Buttons

(3) Click Create Your Button Now

(4) Click the No: Create a “Buy Now” Button, Enter your product details, price and currency, then
(5) click Customise Appearance

(6) Click ‘Use Your Own Button Image’.

(7)Enter the exact web address where your button artwork is located. PayPal doesn’t accept special characters like back-slash(\), so replace these with a full stop. Your web address should look something like this: http://www.helpviahypnosis.com.index.bluebutton.gif

(8) Click ‘Save Changes’ at the bottom which will generate the code.
(9) Choose the ‘email’ tab.

(10) Click ‘Select Code’copy and paste the code into your web editing software such as Dreamweaver or Microsoft’s Frontpage.

(11)Paste the Paypal email code into your button Link. Upload to the Internet and you can now accept payments…..Hope this helps.
