Creating Advanced Subscribe Buttons with JavaScript Disabled
The button creation tool on the PayPal website requires JavaScript. If JavaScript is disabled in
your browser, PayPal offers you an alternative tool that does not require JavaScript.
Read the following topics to learn how to create Subscribe buttons with JavaScript disabled.
 “The Pages in the Button Creation Tool for Subscribe Buttons” on page 173
 “Page 1 – Specifying the Basic Features of the Subscribe Button” on page 173
 “Page 2 – Specifying Advanced Features of Your Subscribe Button” on page 177
 “Copying and Pasting the Subscribe Code with JavaScript Disabled” on page 180
NOTE: With JavaScript disabled in your browser, you can create Subscribe buttons on the
PayPal website, but you cannot save your buttons in your PayPal account.
The Pages in the Button Creation Tool for Subscribe Buttons
The button creation tool with JavaScript disabled has three pages:
 Subscriptions & Recurring Payments button – the initial page to specify the required
and most often used optional features
 Subscriptions & Recurring Payments – Page 2 – an optional page to specify additional,
advanced features, including the button image for Unsubscribe buttons
 Add a Subscribe button to your website – the final page that has the generated code for
your payment button
You can switch between the first and second pages until you click the Create Button Now
button to display the third page that has the generated code.
