3. Under the Selling Preferences heading, click the Create New Button link.
The Create PayPal payment button page opens.
4. Under the Create button without JavaScript enabled heading, click the Buy Now link.
The Buy Now buttons page opens.
5. Enter the details of your item.
– Item name/service – (optional) Enter the name of the item or service that you wish to
sell. If you do not enter anything in this field, buyers can fill it in at the time of purchase.
PayPal recommends entering an item name to make it easier for you to ship the order.
– Item ID/number – (optional) Enter the inventory ID or tracking number of your item.
The value that 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 – (optional) Enter a fixed price for your item. If you leave the field blank, buyers
“name their own price” after they click the Buy Now button.
IMPORTANT: PayPal recommends that you enter a price so that you collect an appropriate
amount for the item.
– Currency – From the dropdown menu, select the currency in which you priced the item
or in which you want the prices that buyers name to be denominated. The dropdown
menu automatically selects the currency of your primary balance.
– 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.
6. Choose a button style for your Buy Now button.
If you will accept payments through your website instead of an email link, select the radio
button next to the image that you want to use. Use a “Pay Now” button image if you accept
payments for single services instead of single goods. PayPal hosts the button image you
select.
