Creating View Cart Buttons Before You Create Your PayPal Account
You can create View Cart buttons before you create your PayPal account and add them to your
website. However, to begin accepting payments, you must add some Add to Cart buttons, as
well.
NOTE: You cannot create payment buttons without a PayPal account if Javascript is disabled
in your browser.
Each time you create an Add to Cart button, PayPal gives you a chance to create a View Cart
button. You can use the generated HTML code for any of these View Cart buttons – the code
is identical. Paste the same HTML button code onto your webpages for as many View Cart
buttons as you need.
