Step 3 – Adding Advanced Features to Your Buy Now Button
Use the Step 3 section of the button creation tool to specify advanced features of your button.
1. Do you want to let buyers change order quantities (optional)?
– Yes – Select this radio button to prompt buyers for item quantities. PayPal prompts
buyers for quantities after they click your Buy Now button.
Use this feature cautiously, because buyers could specify quantities greater than you
could fulfill.
If you save your button in your PayPal account and you set up inventory tracking for
your item in “Step 2 – Tracking Inventory With Your Buy Now Button” on page 44,
PayPal can help prevent buyers from purchasing more items than you can fulfill.
– No – Select this radio button to let buyers purchase only one item at a time. “No” is the
default choice for this advanced feature.
2. Can your buyers add special instructions in a message to you (optional)?
– Yes – Select this radio button to let buyers add special instructions to you during
checkout. In the Name of message box text box, enter the text that you want displayed
for the text box in which buyers enter their special instructions; the default value is “Add
special instructions to merchant”.
