Saving Payment Buttons in Your PayPal Account
Saving your buttons in your PayPal account helps secure against fraudulent payments because
the HTML button code that PayPal generates and that you paste onto your webpages does not
contain pricing information. PayPal holds pricing information in your PayPal account, so
malicious third parties cannot alter it and submit fraudulent payments.
You can save any kind of payment button in your PayPal Premiere or Business account:
 Buy Now buttons
 Add to Cart buttons
 Buy Gift Certificate buttons
