Using the Button Creation Tool for an Unsubscribe Button
Each time you create a Subscribe button, PayPal gives you a chance to create an Unsubscribe
button. You can use the generated HTML code for any of these Unsubscribe buttons – the code
is identical. Paste the same HTML button code onto your webpages for as many Unsubscribe
buttons as you need.
N OTE: You cannot save Unsubscribe buttons in your PayPal account, and the HTML button
code that PayPal generates does not require protection.
For more information, see “Working With Unsubscribe Buttons” on page 137.
