https://www.paypal.com.
2. Click the Edit Profile link.
The Profile Summary page opens.
3. Under the Selling Preferences heading, click the Create New Button link.
The Create PayPal payment button page opens.

The PayPal Shopping Cart page opens.
5. Enter the details of your item.
– Item name/service – Enter the name of your item or service.
– Item ID/number – (optional) Enter the inventory ID or tracking number of your item.
The value you enter is displayed to buyers at the time of payment, and it is displayed in
the transaction details that both merchants and buyers can view on the PayPal website.
– Price – Enter a fixed price of your item.
– Currency – From the dropdown menu, select the currency in which you priced the item.
The dropdown menu automatically selects the currency of your primary balance.
For more information, see “Pricing Items in Multiple Currencies” on page 270.
– Buyer’s default country – From the dropdown menu, select a country for the PayPal
log-in or sign-up page that buyers see when they click the button. The content on the page
will be appropriate for the country you select. Buyers can change the country that you
select, after the log-in or sign-up page appears.
– Weight (optional) – Enter the weight of the item. Select Lbs or Kgs from the dropdown
menu to specify the unit of measure. If you set up shipping rates for your account with a
basis of weight, PayPal uses the value you enter here to calculate shipping charges for
orders that include the item.
