How to add a Paypal button to your website

May 092012

If you’d like to accept payments via Paypal on your website for your services or products, there’s a quick and easy way to create various Paypal buttons, so that buyers can purchase products or services directly from your website.

By the way, only you, the seller, needs a Paypal account – Premier or Business (which you can set up for free here). Buyers can pay for services and products with any of the accepted credit and debit cards via Paypal.

To add a button, first think about what type of payment you want to accept. Paypal offers various button types, for example: Buy now (for once-off purchases), Subscription payment (for regular payments), Add to Cart (to enable buyers to add multiple items into cart before paying one amount for all items), and Buy Gift Voucher. All of these button types and payment options come with the free Website Payments Standard Paypal account.

Check out the Paypal button options here.

Step 1: Choose your button type

Choose your required button type, then click through to it (for example Buy Now). You can give your button a name and code (for your admin purposes only), then decide if it’s one item at one price you’re selling, or multiple items at different prices.

Step 2: Offer individual or multiple items

If it’s one item you’re selling, simply fill in the name and price. If it’s multiple items, don’t fill in the Price section – instead complete the Customise Button section, and add and complete as many drop-down menu items and prices as you want.

Step 3: Add final details

Add postage cost (if applicable) and email address or Paypal account for payments. If you choose to upgrade, you can also add inventory and profit/loss control options, plus customise check-out pages, etc.

Step 4: Copy and paste code to your website

Save changes, which takes you through to the next page with the button HTML code. Check the Buyers View, and select Go Back to Edit if you’re not quite happy. Or if everything’s as it should be, simply Select Code (or copy all), then paste as HTML code into your website, where you want the button to appear.

That’s it!

Buyers will now be able to purchase items from your website, or donate funds, depending on the type of payment/button selected. Go create your Paypal button now!

Article Marketing: Keyword Research, Article Spinning and Article Submission Websites

There’s a lot more to Article Marketing than you might have read. Most Internet Marketing websites focus on how easy it is to write articles in a few minutes, and while this can be positive, it can unfortunately also encourage a proliferation of badly written or hard-selling articles, written simply because we’re told that’s what Internet Marketers should do! This article will focus on a few important key points that must be considered when creating any article or blog post: Don’t choose Article Marketing as one of your Internet Marketing methods, unless you know you’re able to write well, and [...click here or on post title to read the rest of this post...]

Google's Golden Triangle - or the Best Position for your Website in Search Engine Results Pages (and implications for Webpage Design)

There’s a lot written about the ideal position for your website to appear on Google’s (or other) Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs). The number 1 position, right? Or at least within the Golden Triangle (more on this below)! But while appearing first on a RELEVANT Search Engine Results Page might be ideal (and studies confirm that click through rates to the first link are higher than click through rates for second or lower positions), it’s not always possible. Firstly, your position is based on keywords (amongst other things) - because human visitors type ‘keywords’ or ‘search strings’ into Search Engines to find the [...click here or on post title to read the rest of this post...]

Social Media – the thing we all love to love… and hate! Recently, Google launched it’s copycat Google+ (Google Plus) social media tool to rival Facebook. Although competition is always welcome, and perhaps especially since Facebook appears to have an increasing stranglehold on social media, some commentators have already asked the question that begs on its knees to be asked: Do we really need another social media network? Now Google+ does have some good features. In their design of Google+, Google have considered the shortcomings of Facebook, and added some unique ideas to address these in Google+. Most impressive is [...click here or on post title to read the rest of this post...]

What are QR Codes, How to Get Your Own, and Why Internet Marketers Should Use QR 'Barcodes'

So we’re beginning to see more and more QR Codes (or Quick Response ‘Barcodes’) everywhere - you know, those black and white pixelated square thingeys – on websites and blogs, on posters and leaflets, in magazines, in advertising, on TV, in emails…. What on earth are QR Codes? They are a relatively new (and clever) automated, digital and shortcut way to give and receive a piece of information such as a website address, some text such as a nutrition label, an email address, a phone number, or free bonuses, coupons or giveaways… And lots more innovative uses are being introduced daily as companies, marketers, bloggers, online businesses and everyday people [...click here or on post title to read the rest of this post...]
