following limitations of payment buttons that you create and add to your website before you
sign up for your PayPal account.
 You cannot claim the payments that people authorize during checkout. PayPal collects and
holds the payments as unclaimed until you sign up for your PayPal account.
 Buyers must have a PayPal account to pay you.
 PayPal limits the features that you can specify with the button creation tool, such as:
– Saving your buttons in your PayPal account
– Tracking inventory or profit and loss
NOTE: You cannot create payment buttons without a PayPal account if Javascript is disabled
in your browser.
Unclaimed Payments From Buttons Created Without a PayPal Account. For buttons
that you create without a PayPal account, payments that buyers authorize are held as
unclaimed by PayPal until you sign up. PayPal holds your unclaimed payments under the
email address that you specify when you create the buttons. Make sure to use the same email
address when you sign up for your account. Otherwise PayPal cannot transfer your unclaimed
payments to your PayPal account balance.
