6. Choose a button style for your Donate button.
Select the radio button next to the image that you want to use, if you are going to be
accepting payments from your website instead of by using an email payment link. The
image that you select is hosted by PayPal.
To display your own image that you host on your website:
– Click the Use your own button image link.
An additional radio button and text box appear.
–In the Button Image URL text box, enter the URL of your button image.
If your image is hosted securely, change the entry to begin with https//.
7. Specify whether to use button encryption.
– Select the Yes radio button to encrypt the generated code for the payment button.
– or –
– Select the No radio button to leave the generated code for the payment button and the
email payment link as clear text.
PayPal highly recommends that you use button encryption to protect the HTML code of
your payment button. Encryption protects payment details from fraudulent alteration by
third parties, thus increasing the security of the payments you accept. However, consider
the limitations that encryption imposes:
– Encrypted HTML code cannot be edited.
Select the No radio button if you want to edit the HTML code for your button after the
code is generated.
