Basic Steps in the Button Creation Tool for Installment Plan Buttons
The button creation tool on the PayPal website is a single webpage with three sections:
 Step 1 – Choose button type and enter payment details – This section lets you specify
the basic details of your payment button.
 Step 2 – Track inventory, profit and loss (optional) – This section lets you control
whether to save your button in your PayPal account. If you save your button, you can enter
information that PayPal uses to track inventory and to track profit and loss on the item.
 Step 3 – Customize advanced features (optional) – This section lets you work with
advanced features of payment buttons. If you are familiar with HTML programming and
the advanced HTML variables supported by PayPal Payments Standard, you can enter
them here.
One section at a time is open for you to work with. To work with another section, click its step
bar to expand it.
You can switch between the sections as often as you like, until you click the Create Button
button at the bottom of the page. Then, PayPal generates the code for your button and displays
it on the You are viewing your button code page. Copy the code and paste it onto your
webpage, and your payment button is complete.
