@@websitewiz You are welcome. One question, since I added the client ID the window pops up and immediately disappears. Any idea? Or any video you created regarding that issue. It seems many have this issue. Thanks again.
Hi Mike, The Smart Button checks back with PayPal constantly to make sure everything is working as PayPal thinks it should be. So: 1. Make sure there are no restrictions on your PayPal account. If there are, see this article: www.paypal.com/be/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-remove-the-restriction-from-my-account-faq2189 2. Make sure the Live Client ID you've replace the "sb" part with, is an _exact_ copy of the one PayPal gave you. If not the pop-up will cancel (disappear) when checked for authenticity. 3. Try one of the simpler, stand-alone, non-smart buttons, that doesn't require API calls to work. 4. If you still want to use the Smart Button though, and you have no restrictions on your account and the Live Client ID is correct, it's time to contact PayPal support here: www.paypal.com/au/smarthelp/home Hope this helps Mike.
@@websitewiz The answer of all running around spending a couple of hours on the net is just what you mentioned now. I really appreciate it. Thanks a bunch.
You're welcome Mike! And thanks for the great acknowledgement! Most people don't realize how long it takes to do the research and it's really nice to know that someone appreciates it! It makes it more worthwhile doing it - thanks! 💜
Thank you so much, I've been redoing those paypal buttons for an hour and had no idea why they weren't working. I volunteered to make this website and I had no idea about the whole dev panel on paypal.
Thank you for this! I was searching for hours trying to figure out why the PayPal button wasn’t working on my new website, but your video solved the problem👍
Hi Nelson, thanks for your lovely compliment! 💜 Yes, we've noticed that PayPal has been making changes to their button layout pages lately and it's hard to find things where they used to be. Since making these Pa
Thank you for the beautiful comment Robyn! 💜 And thank you for your great suggestion for a future video. 😃 To add a PayPal smart button to your WordPress site, do the steps in the video up to the 04:15 mark, where you press "Copy Code" on the PayPal website, then do the following 10 steps: 1. Paste the code into a text editor such as Notepad and save it. Note: This step isn't vital, but helpful if anything goes wrong in the later steps. 2. Log into your WordPress site. 3. From the Dashboard go to Pages > All pages. 4. Select the page you want to add the Smart Button code to. 5. Press "Edit." 6. Edit the page in HTML mode by switching from visual to HTML. 7. Paste the PayPal Button code onto the page where you want it to appear. 8. Update the page. 9. Preview the page and make sure it's orientation looks right. 10. Test the "Pay with PayPal" and "Debit or Credit" buttons and make sure all of the details such as the description, price, tax, etc., are correct. Hope this helps Robyn.
This is extremely helpful. I have a question though, does it mean you have to create a button for every product on the website when they a differently priced
Hi, yes that's right. You would need to create a different button for individual products on your website. As such this button is only appropriate when you have less than 10 products.
Thank you very much. Your instructions were clear, easy to understand and follow. I wasn't aware of PayPal changes, finding your video, was so very helpful. Thanks again!
Hi Marva, thanks so much for your comment. We're so glad that you found the video clear and easy to understand/follow. We're always happy to hear that 😃
Hi, thanks for your comment 💜 Unfortunately PayPal is no longer offering standalone payment solutions, such as their Smart Button, without coding it in directly, or using one of their partner applications, such as Wix, Squarespace etc. If you want to take the coding path, please check out this page on PayPal's website to get started: developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/ Otherwise, the only other way to connect PayPal buttons to your website is to sign up for a paid solution as mentioned above. Hope this helps!
@@websitewiz It sucks so much the did that. I used to love the SmartButtons so much. They were free and easy! And now you have to create whole separate online shopping websites that start at $30 a month and up to $80 a month?! Gahd. What a racket.
To the point & intuitive! It would be nice if you could add another video using Stripe. Is the process different when you are using Wordpress? Thanks in advance.
Hi Mour, thanks so much! 💜 Yes, the process is the same when using Wordpress. It's just a matter of adding the HTML snippet to your Wordpress page / post. Hope this helps!
thank you for the video, could you please write the steps for install Paypal smart button for credit & debit card payment for shopify? thank you so much!
Hi, thank you for your comment. Unfortunately we are not yet well versed in Shopify, but we did find a great answer on a forum that may help where the author of the article breaks down the method into easy-to-follow steps: community.shopify.com/c/shopify-design/i-want-to-add-paypal-smart-payment-buttons/m-p/743915#M185742 PayPal also has a solution to your question and that is here: www.paypal.com/c2/webapps/mpp/integrating-shopify?locale.x=en_C2 And Shopify has an answer here: help.shopify.com/en/manual/payments/paypal Hope this helps!
I have a problem where when I add a quantity of a product the price doesn’t get refreshed and when I check the price it’s always the old one not the price with new quantity ?
Hi Benti, this PayPal 'Smart' button doesn't offer the customer an option to choose different quantities. If you want to offer this option, we suggest using the 'Add to Cart' button. We've made a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html
thank you it was clear, but i have one question in my website i have variable price each product have a specific price how can i let the button know the price o each article thank you
Hi, thank you! Glad it was clear 😃 If you have multiple products with variable prices for each product on your site, we would recommend using a different type of button for that. You can check out our video on which button we recommend here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html
Hi Neta, yes the 'Smart' button is only for single purchases. If you want to offer your customer the option to pay for multiple items at once, then the 'Add to Cart' button would be a better solution. We've made a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html
Very well tutorial but my account showed me not the option to create the button in the menu bar from Pay&Get Paid, after created the app. Any Idea why?
Hi there, thanks for your feedback. You can also access the buttons page by going to >> paypal.com/buttons if the option is not showing in your menu bar. However, PayPal has changed the process since we originally created this video 2 years ago. So once you go to the buttons page, it may redirect to you to a Developers page. It appears that all PayPal buttons now need to be coded in directly. If you'd like to avoid coding your buttons, or are not familiar with how to do it, you could set up your buttons using a website service like Wix, or Squarespace that makes this easy. Hope this helps!
Hi - thank you so much for this instructional video - it has been very helpful. When I put the code into the wix embedded widget- no PayPal button appears - transparent back ground- but the txt and drop Down price menu do appear. have no idea how to remedy this - so that I get the PayPal and credit card buttons with the info
Hi, you're very welcome! We're so glad it was helpful 😃 Sorry to hear it isn't working for you. When it comes to pasting code into your website, there is a key thing to remember and that is that if you change even just one character, that shouldn't be changed, or delete something that needs to be there, it will break the button, and won't perform as it should. It's possible that this is the reason why, but unfortunately, it's very hard to troubleshoot without looking at it. So we recommend that you contact PayPal directly so they can work out why and provide a solution. www.paypal.com/au/smarthelp/contact-us
@@websitewiz Thank you so much for your reply. This makes a lot of sense- and was my first guess - as a friend copied the code and sent it to me via email to put into the website we are working on together- so it must be a change to the code that occurs when sending the code via email- It worked perfectly from my own PayPal account - and inputting the code straight to the wix editor Thank you again 🙏🏽🙂
Hi Obajinmi, sorry to hear you got stuck. You can try typing in the link to the PayPal buttons page directly and see if that works: paypal.com/buttons Hope this helps!
BRO WHY THE F is it so complicated to implement discounts by default? cost,discount,then tax? why has all the eccomerce options stopped doing this? wtf is going on?
Hi Yordan, not much we can do about that. We agree. We aren't programmers and that's why we rely on solutions like Wix to do the heavy lifting for us. We agree that you shouldn't need to be a programmer to use things like PayPal. Hope you find an easy solution somewhere out there. Wish we could help more.
Hi Razelle, thanks for your question. If you have items with different variants and prices, please check out the button shown in this video: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
can you please show how to do the same on a shopify website....and paypal has changed a lot can you please make a new one.....and i also tried adding the code for me its not showing up
Hi Rocky, thank you for your suggestions. If you have pasted the code into your web page and the button is not showing up, that could mean there is an error in the code. We suggest starting again from the beginning and go through step by step to make sure the code is correct. Even adding an extra period, or comma etc. will break the coding so that the button won't work. Hope this helps!
Thanks Mahmoud! 💜 You can do that with two other buttons - an "Add to Cart" button and a "View Cart" button. We made a video on how to create them here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html
Thamks for the explnation that was the best but i got a question why when i click on smart buttons it redirects me to the paypal developer mode and integration stuff help please
Hi, thanks for your comment! We recommend you to contact PayPal support directly, as there could be many reasons why it's redirecting there and hopefully they can work out why and provide a solution. www.paypal.com/au/smarthelp/home
beautiful explanation but they change a lot now. and you cant create any more that button and just copy that code. they move to json now which is very heavy for my machine
Thanks very much for the feedback 😃 Yes, unfortunately PayPal has updated their interface and it requires a lot more work to create the button than before.
Hi Mike, Using the Smart button shown in this video, PayPal only knows what the payment is for based on the info you provide when setting up the button - in the field 'Item Description'. It's in no way connected to your website or dynamic products on your site. It's a standalone button on PayPal only. Once a payment is complete using the button, PayPal displays a successful payment message. If you need to redirect your customers to another page after they purchase, then we recommend using a different button for that. The 'Smart' button requires coding to make that work. So the easiest way would be to use another button that allows redirection to another page as part of setting up your button. You can do this easily using PayPal's 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' buttons. These are located on the same page as the ‘Smart’ button of your PayPal account, as shown in the video. There is a field listed for redirection. This is the easiest way we have found to redirect a customer to another page after purchase. Please note that it is not a secure link. Meaning that once a person knows the redirection URL, when they land on it, they will be able to access it anytime. If you want a more secured option, where the URL only loads after confirming that a person is a paying customer, this would need to be coded in and required a more advanced setup. If you're not familiar with coding, in that case you'd be best to pay for a third party platform to manage this function for you and avoid the standalone PayPal buttons altogether. We hope this helps answer your question.
Hello 👋.your videos are life savers. Thank you so much. I would like to ask is there a way to customise every product page in Wix differently since all the products has different prices and the button which we add applies to all the products with same prices. I am so frustrated i can't find a solution. Please help me if you can 🙏. Please 🙏🥺
Hi Pranav, thanks so much for the positive feedback. We appreciate it 💜 If you have different products with different prices, and don't want to use the integrated paid Stores app with Wix, then you'll want to check out the PayPal 'Add to Cart' button. We made a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
Hi. I have everything else that you described but I don't have the PayPal button option on my page to click link you are showing, is their an alternative
Hi Jennefer, unfortunately PayPal is no longer offering standalone payment solutions, such as their Smart Button, without coding it in directly, or using one of their partner applications, such as Wix, Squarespace etc. If you want to take the coding path, please check out this page on PayPal's website to get started: developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/ Otherwise, the only alternative for connecting PayPal buttons to your website would be to sign up for a paid solution as mentioned above. Hope this helps!
Hi Shickler, you're welcome 😃 Yes, you would have to create multiple Smart buttons. However, the PayPal 'Smart' button is recommended for those who sell only a few simple products or want a donation. If you have more than a few products, and want to offer your customer the option to checkout with many products, all at once (in one checkout), then we would recommend using the ‘Add to Cart’ button for your store. This will allow your customer to buy a combination of products from different categories and pages, all within one order. Using the ‘Add to Cart’ button, you’re able to create a shopping cart (for multiple products) which would probably work better than the ‘Smart’ button, which is best used for single products only. This allows your customer to go back and add more products to their cart, before paying and in doing so, streamlines the entire shopping experience for them. You will need to create a different button for each product, but this is the case with any online store. For each product you have, you need a button. To learn more about the ‘Add to Cart’ button we've made a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
Hi Sehrish, thank you for your question! Unfortuantely, we wouldn't recommend using this method with a Shopify website as their suite of integrated payment solutions are more functional and user-friendly than these standalone PayPal buttons.
How does this work for shopping cart applications though? My website allows customers to design/order screen printed apparel, so obviously no two order amounts are going to be the same. I need PayPal to handle the transaction, but the transaction amount is dynamically generated (depending on what they're ordering). This approach seems a bit redundant, as you've got to generate a separate button for each individual item in your store. My website uses a "shopping cart" approach, where the user builds an order and then "checkout" is the final step, and I need PP to capture payment for the full cart total.
Hi Sixstanger00, yes you're right that this approach is tedious for those with larger stores that need to generate a lot of buttons and have dynamic pricing based on variable product options. However, we do mention that at the beginning of the video, and only recommend this method for those with smaller stores and low start up budgets. This button doesn't provide you with an entire e-commerce solution. But it does allow you to take payments on your website with no upfront setup costs. ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html From what you've said that you need, this system would work, but there are many paid shopping cart integrations that plug into PayPal more seamlessly and easily, which would work better.
I have a question I offer 3 subscription plans on my website but when I embedd all of 3 of them on their respective place only button is showing up . PLease help !!!!!!!!!!
Hi Tate, thanks for your comment. We suggest contacting PayPal directly as they have more control over button features than we can offer. It could be many reasons why it's not working properly. Here's a link to their contact page: www.paypal.com/au/smarthelp/home

Hi Salaudeen, thanks for your question! To determine if your PayPal account is in Sandbox mode, you can look for a few key indicators: 1. **URL Check**: Check the URL when you are logged in. If the URL contains "sandbox.paypal.com", you are in the Sandbox environment. The regular PayPal accounts operate under "paypal.com". 2. **Dashboard Appearance**: When you log into the PayPal Sandbox environment, the interface typically mentions "Sandbox" somewhere on the dashboard, often at the top or in the account overview section. 3. **Email Notifications**: If you receive email notifications from PayPal and they mention "Sandbox" or "Test Email" within the subject or body, it's a clear indication that the actions are being performed in a Sandbox environment. 4. **Testing Features**: If you're able to perform tests without real money transactions and with test data, such as using test credit card numbers, this is another sign that you're in the Sandbox environment. If you're developing or testing integrations and you're unsure or need to switch between modes, you might need to log out from one environment and log in to another with the appropriate credentials. Hope this helps!
Hi Faith, you're welcome! Unfortunately, I can't find mine either!? I searched a lot online too, but no-one is discussing it, so I tried contacting PayPal directly, but they aren't there for another 13 hours now.

Hi Elisa, great question! Not that we know of unfortunately. It's weird but there are no 'saved' Smart buttons within the PayPal account. All other types of PayPal buttons such as 'Add to Cart', 'Donate', 'Subscribe' etc. can be saved and edited, but not Smart buttons.
I have an education site, so my products are services rather than physical items. In a non-shopping cart scenario like mine, how do you determine whether the buyer's payment was approved or not? If approved, how do you redirect them to, in my case, the lesson page? How do you prevent the tech savvy buyer from 'viewing' the page, obtaining your client-id and forwarding URL to bypass the payment page altogether? Thanks for any help.
Hi Jeff, Great question! I can only give general educational advice of course, as I'm not a qualified business advisor. That said, building an educational site with the requirements you're specifying, these simple stand-alone PayPal buttons won't be able to do what you need, unless you are able to code them to do more. And even If coding is an option for you, it will require so much expertise and upkeep, you'd probably be better off paying for an already-built e-commerce system that does what you need out-of-the-box, such as WooCommerce, BigCommerce or Shopify. A quick comparison of these three is: 1. WooCommerce - the cheapest (free), but it has the greatest learning curve of the three. 2. BigCommerce - cheaper overall than Shopify but with a greater the learning curve than Shopify. 3. Shopify - the easiest to implement, but the most expensive solution, in our opinion, over the long term. I'd contact each of their customer-service departments and ask specific questions about whether they can do what you need, especially asking if their software can detect when payments are made, and if so, whether it then able to redirect customers to specific "paid only" pages. Hope this helps.
Thankyou so much For this it was really very helpful. Well can you please help me out a bit beacause my issue is complete opposite. Actually I want to remove the express checkout button from my Wix e-commerce website as when people select it they are automatically redirected to PayPal and shipping is not getting calculated. So can you please let me know how can I just remove the PayPal express checkout button from the checkout page? Thankyou so muchhh☺️

"Hi Malibamat, thanks for your question.

Hi Nicolas, it does appear that PayPal has made some changes to their button pages since we created this video over a year ago. From what we can see it now needs to be coded in to work. If you're not familiar with coding, you'll need to outsource this. Another option would be to connect to PayPal through one of the paid website platforms out there such as Wix, Squarespace etc. Or a third option would be to use a different button type such as 'Add to Cart' or 'Buy Now'. We have another video that shows how to set these buttons up here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
Hi Zabii, usually the fees are based on each transaction value. Last time we checked it was a small flat fee + a percentage of the transaction value. But the exact rates may vary depending on your banking location and other factors, such as your customer's location etc. Best bet would be to do a Google search for "PayPal Merchant Fees (ADD YOUR COUNTRY)" for more info or contact PayPal direct: www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/contact-us Hope this helps!
Hi Mark, sorry we missed your comment, and just replying now. No, it doesn't work with Shopify, as they have their own built in system to integrate with PayPal. Hope this helps!
Hi, you're welcome! 😃 Redirecting to a secure confirmation page which includes a secure download link is an advanced feature and would require some server-side coding to make it work. If you're not familiar with coding, your best bet would be to pay for a premium solution that includes this download option as part of your website builder. E.g. a Wordpress plugin, or a Wix business plan etc. where it's all taken care of for you. If you go the coding route, the first thing we'd recommend is using PayPal's 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' buttons. Not the 'Smart' button. Reason being is that they both include a 'redirect to URL after payment' option when setting up the buttons. You could include a URL where your digital product is located. That said, to make it secure you'd still need to do some custom coding. And unfortunately we don't have the coding skills to tell you how to do this. Here is a link to the PayPal forum where a user had a similar question as you: www.paypal-community.com/t5/Selling-on-your-website/Automatic-download-after-payment/td-p/556398 Hope this helps!

Question: On my current website I have used the PayPal buttons with dropdown menus. Shopping for a different website builder, I find many do not allow HTML snippets however do allow a one line PayPal account name or email address in a button. I'm not understanding how this works, do you know?
Hi Melvin, with the modern website builders they usually code the buttons directly into their own systems automatically, meaning you wouldn't use your existing PayPal buttons anymore. You would just need to add your email address / PayPal account name to your website builder account settings and they do the rest. By the sounds of it your current website is using standalone PayPal buttons, which wouldn't be necessary with the newer website builders. Hope this helps answer your question.
Hi Richard, you're welcome! 😃 If the Client ID in the code does not match your own Client ID, then you can just overwrite it with your own. Hope this helps!

It looks useful but my Paypal log in as developer takes me to a different page and I can't find the starting page in your example.

Hi Razelvi, to deactivate the "Pay Later" option when you've integrated PayPal Smart Buttons on your website, you usually need to adjust the settings within your PayPal account or through the PayPal button integration code on your website. Here's a general guide to do it: *THROUGH PAYPAL ACCOUNT SETTINGS* 1. *Log in to your PayPal Business account*: Access your account on the PayPal website. 2. *Access the Button Settings*: Navigate to the area where you manage your PayPal buttons. This could be under "Seller Tools" or a similar section depending on PayPal's current interface. 3. *Edit Button Features*: If PayPal offers direct control over the "Pay Later" feature from the account settings (this might not always be the case), you'll find an option to edit or remove specific features related to the buttons. 4. *Disable Pay Later*: Look for options related to financing or Pay Later features and disable them. *THROUGH BUTTON INTEGRATION CODE* If you don’t find an option to disable the Pay Later feature directly from your PayPal account settings, you may need to adjust the PayPal Smart Button code on your website: 1. *Find the PayPal Smart Button code* on your website. This is the code snippet you added to integrate the PayPal buttons. 2. *Adjust the code*: You need to include the `disable-funding` option and specify `paylater` as the value you want to disable. Here’s how you can add it to the existing Smart Button code: paypal.Buttons({ // Your button configuration disableFunding: 'paylater', // Other options like createOrder, onApprove, etc. }).render('#paypal-button-container'); This javascript code tells PayPal not to offer the Pay Later option as part of the Smart Button options on your website. *IMPORTANT NOTES* - *Test the Changes*: After making these adjustments, the Pay Later option should no longer appear to your customers. However, it’s good to test the button to ensure everything works as expected. - *Documentation and Support*: Since PayPal occasionally updates its features and how they're managed, it's wise to consult the [PayPal Developer Documentation](developer.paypal.com/docs/) or contact PayPal support for the most current methods. If you're not comfortable making these changes yourself, consider reaching out to PayPal support for additional guidance. Hope this helps.
Hi, unfortunately we don't know how to code in javascript, which is required to create the new standalone buttons from PayPal. But if you want to take the coding path, please check out this page on PayPal's website to get started: developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/ Otherwise, the only other way to connect PayPal buttons to your website is to sign up for a paid solution using one of their partner applications, such as Wix, Squarespace etc. Hope this helps!

E.g. a Wordpress plugin, or a Wix business plan etc. where it's all taken care of for you. If you go the coding route, the first thing we'd recommend is using PayPal's 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' buttons. Not the 'Smart' button. Reason being is that they both include a 'redirect to URL after payment' option when setting up the buttons. You could include a URL where your digital product is located. That said, to make it secure you'd still need to do some custom coding. And unfortunately we don't have the coding skills to tell you how to do this. Here is a link to the PayPal forum where a user had a similar question as you: www.paypal-community.com/t5/Selling-on-your-website/Automatic-download-after-payment/td-p/556398 Hope this helps!
Very helpful tutorial - thank you! I know that PayPal will email a response to me after a client submits a payment - but is there any way that PayPal can communicate a response back - either directly to the client's browser, or via an api back to my own web server. Some sort of response code to indicate if transaction was successful or not?
Hi, thanks for your question. As far as we know there isn't a way to do make PayPal communicate a response back as such but it could be possible with programming knowledge. Alternatively, you could use a third-party automation platform that performs an action (such as a 'response') based on events (such as a 'successful payment') Basically, the automation software is connected to your PayPal account and your email program. You then use the software to trigger your Email account to send an automated email every time you receive a payment to your PayPal account. There are 3 automation platforms that we think would work well for what you want to do: 1. www.zapier.com 2. www.automate.io 3. www.make.com (Also known as Integromat) PayPal is considered a premium app with Zapier and Automate, so you would need a paid plan to make it work with them. But Make.com has a free plan that will work with PayPal. However, Zapier looks to be the easiest to use... but is the most expensive. Automate is affordable with plans starting at $9 / month. And Make has, as I mentioned, has a limited free plan, which you could use to make this work. But we did find it to have more of a learning curve than the other two. All of them, of course, have a learning curve though. If you are going to use Make.com, we recommend you watch these videos first: 1. ua-cam.com/video/AmILvt7zRJs/v-deo.html 2. ua-cam.com/video/V99tPHcqHzE/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
Hi i had my team following your tutorial to get it to work. Now we need to know what settings did i miss to enable seeing the item descriptions in the paypal confirmation notifications? Its not even on the email version that's sent to sellers nor the quick version that pops up through Facebook. Thank you
Hi M.J., thanks for your question. We’re not sure where this can be activated unfortunately. It looks like it’s configured by PayPal directly for this button, but if you contact them, they may be able to assist you further: www.paypal.com/au/smarthelp/home
Hi, great question! If you need to redirect your customers to another page after they purchase, then we recommend using a different button for that. The 'Smart' button requires coding to make that work. So the easiest way would be to use another button that allows redirection to another page as part of setting up your button. You can do this easily using PayPal's 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' buttons. These are located on the same page as the ‘Smart’ button of your PayPal account, as shown in the video. There is a field listed for redirection. This is the easiest way we have found to redirect a customer to another page after purchase. Please note that it is not a secure link. Meaning that once a person knows the redirection URL, when they land on it, they will be able to access it anytime. If you want a more secured option, where the URL only loads after confirming that a person is a paying customer, this would need to be coded in and required a more advanced setup. If you're not familiar with coding, in that case you'd be best to pay for a third party platform to manage this function for you and avoid the standalone PayPal buttons altogether. We hope this helps answer your question.
Hi Ptah, thanks for your question. Yes, you can create multiple PayPal buttons for different services. However, the customer won't be able to "order" multiple services at one time using this button. If they want to buy multiple services at once, it would be best to use the 'Add to Cart' button. If you need this kind of flexibility, we have a video showing you how to do that here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html You can also use the Smart button to create a dropdown menu for each service, all within one single button. To do this, choose 'Single-select list' as show here in the video: ua-cam.com/video/9p-kA20-Bgg/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
Hi Salahuddin, for multiple products we would recommend using the Paypal 'Add to Cart' button instead. To learn more about the ‘Add to Cart’ button we've made a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
Hi Salahuddin, sorry to hear that! We have both a business and personal account, and it appears in both types of account at our end. As there could be many reasons why it's not working, we recommend you contact PayPal support directly so they can work out why and provide a solution. www.paypal.com/au/smarthelp/home
Hi, yes it is possible to do that, but unfortunately *not* with this button. To allow the buyer to create a message with the payment, you'd have to use PayPal's "Add To Cart" button. We have a video that shows you how to create that button here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html The exact part of the video where you can allow the buyer to create a message with the payment, is shown here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html?t=320 Hope this helps.

Hello today I tried to integrate my wix store with your shown method in the video But it seems like PayPal is no longer supporting this direct integration.. when I click on the smart button interface is completely changed there are only articles there with lots of manual coding instructions 😭 I'm from India and right now for wix owners only PayPal option is available for accepting payments and I needed this PayPal credit card features so customers can buy directly without having any PayPal account
Hi, unfortunately PayPal is no longer offering standalone payment solutions, such as their Smart Button, which could have been used previously with a Wix free plan. If you want to accept payments via your Wix site, you would now need to either code it in directly, or upgrade to one of the Wix premium business plans. Hope this helps!
Hi Bharat, *What is live webhooks?* To summarize Wikipedia, a webhook is a method of increasing the usefulness of a web page or web app by triggering actions based on an initial action. An action completed by the user starts the process. In the case of Cookies, the action can be as simple as just visiting the site. That one action triggers one or more messages to be sent to one or more other places on the web, triggering even more actions, and so on and so on. Some simple examples of webhooks are: • A comment being posted to a blog ticks up the count of comments by one. • Cookies that track where you go and what you do online. • A date and time on your calendar app that triggers an alarm on your computer and an email sent to your email account, reminding you of an appointment. • A sale on your shopping website triggering an email to be sent to the client confirming their order and another to you, to your fulfilment department and to your shipping department. • A new sign-up triggers a welcome email to be sent to the new subscriber. *Is it mandatory to fill?* As to what is mandatory to fill, I don’t know Bharat? You’ll have to provide more information. Thanks. Hope this helps.

Hi Hamza, thanks for the compliment 😃 The PayPal Smart button is best used for just a few products. If you have a store selling multiple products, we would recommend the PayPal 'Add to Cart' button instead. We have a video on how to create these buttons here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
Hi Sonika, thanks for your question. It's not easy to set up a redirection for this particular button. The 'Smart' button requires coding to make that work. So, the easiest way to do this would be to use another button. One that includes a redirection option as part of setting up the button in the first place. You can do this easily using PayPal's 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' buttons. These buttons include a field for a redirection page as part of set up. These buttons are located on the same page as the ‘Smart’ button of your PayPal account, as shown in the video. Please note, if you use the 'Add to Cart' button, there is also a ‘View Cart’ button, which you would place in the header of your site too, which allows your customer to view their shopping cart while they’re shopping. Make sure to include this on your site too. We've created a video on the 'Add to Cart' button which you can check out here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html This is the easiest way we have found to redirect a customer to another page after purchase. We hope this helps!
Hi Thomas, thanks for your question. Not sure why it wouldn't be there. We've noticed that PayPal has been making some changes to their button options of late and so it could be that this has moved. Sorry we don't know where to. We checked in our account and it's still showing, but that may be because we already had buttons saved there prior to their layout changes. Sorry we couldn't help more.
Hi Malibamat, thanks for your question. To test in sandbox mode, simply go ahead and create your button without creating a live app. I cover this in the video from 53 seconds onwards here: ua-cam.com/video/9p-kA20-Bgg/v-deo.html If you have already created a live app, you can change the button's code manually to sandbox setting by changing your Client-ID to "sb" as shown in the video from 5:28 here: ua-cam.com/video/9p-kA20-Bgg/v-deo.html

Wow - thank you so much for your beautiful comment! You made our day 💜😇
My EXACT thoughts!
Thank you! I was searching for a clear explanation like this. PayPal should have this video up on their Create Button page. Top notch!
Thank you Mike! Such a lovely comment! 💜 You've made our day! 😀
@@websitewiz You are welcome. One question, since I added the client ID the window pops up and immediately disappears. Any idea? Or any video you created regarding that issue. It seems many have this issue. Thanks again.
Hi Mike, The Smart Button checks back with PayPal constantly to make sure everything is working as PayPal thinks it should be.
So:
1. Make sure there are no restrictions on your PayPal account. If there are, see this article:
www.paypal.com/be/smarthelp/article/how-do-i-remove-the-restriction-from-my-account-faq2189
2. Make sure the Live Client ID you've replace the "sb" part with, is an _exact_ copy of the one PayPal gave you. If not the pop-up will cancel (disappear) when checked for authenticity.
3. Try one of the simpler, stand-alone, non-smart buttons, that doesn't require API calls to work.
4. If you still want to use the Smart Button though, and you have no restrictions on your account and the Live Client ID is correct, it's time to contact PayPal support here:
www.paypal.com/au/smarthelp/home
Hope this helps Mike.

Hi Aelita, so glad you found the video helpful! 😃
Your diction and demonstration is clear and professional. Well done. Have you made a video on how to do this in WordPress?
Thank you for the beautiful comment Robyn! 💜 And thank you for your great suggestion for a future video. 😃
To add a PayPal smart button to your WordPress site, do the steps in the video up to the 04:15 mark, where you press "Copy Code" on the PayPal website,
then do the following 10 steps:
1. Paste the code into a text editor such as Notepad and save it.
Note: This step isn't vital, but helpful if anything goes wrong in the later steps.
2. Log into your WordPress site.
3. From the Dashboard go to Pages > All pages.
4. Select the page you want to add the Smart Button code to.
5. Press "Edit."
6. Edit the page in HTML mode by switching from visual to HTML.
7. Paste the PayPal Button code onto the page where you want it to appear.
8. Update the page.
9. Preview the page and make sure it's orientation looks right.
10. Test the "Pay with PayPal" and "Debit or Credit" buttons and make sure all of the details such as the description, price, tax, etc., are correct.
Hope this helps Robyn.
This is extremely helpful. I have a question though, does it mean you have to create a button for every product on the website when they a differently priced
Hi, yes that's right. You would need to create a different button for individual products on your website. As such this button is only appropriate when you have less than 10 products.
Thank you very much. Your instructions were clear, easy to understand and follow. I wasn't aware of PayPal changes, finding your video, was so very helpful. Thanks again!
Hi Marva, thanks so much for your comment. We're so glad that you found the video clear and easy to understand/follow. We're always happy to hear that 😃

Fantastic video! For some reason, we do not have Paypal buttons under Pay & Get Paid. Any Suggestions?
Hi, thanks for your comment 💜 Unfortunately PayPal is no longer offering standalone payment solutions, such as their Smart Button, without coding it in directly, or using one of their partner applications, such as Wix, Squarespace etc.
If you want to take the coding path, please check out this page on PayPal's website to get started:
developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/
Otherwise, the only other way to connect PayPal buttons to your website is to sign up for a paid solution as mentioned above.
Hope this helps!
@@websitewiz It sucks so much the did that. I used to love the SmartButtons so much. They were free and easy! And now you have to create whole separate online shopping websites that start at $30 a month and up to $80 a month?! Gahd. What a racket.
To the point & intuitive! It would be nice if you could add another video using Stripe. Is the process different when you are using Wordpress? Thanks in advance.
Hi Mour, thanks so much! 💜 Yes, the process is the same when using Wordpress. It's just a matter of adding the HTML snippet to your Wordpress page / post. Hope this helps!

I have a problem where when I add a quantity of a product the price doesn’t get refreshed and when I check the price it’s always the old one not the price with new quantity ?
Hi Benti, this PayPal 'Smart' button doesn't offer the customer an option to choose different quantities. If you want to offer this option, we suggest using the 'Add to Cart' button. We've made a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html
thank you it was clear, but i have one question in my website i have variable price each product have a specific price how can i let the button know the price o each article thank you
Hi, thank you! Glad it was clear 😃 If you have multiple products with variable prices for each product on your site, we would recommend using a different type of button for that. You can check out our video on which button we recommend here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html
It looks awesome, but can't add items to cart and its a big dis-convenience for customers, they can only pay one item at the time.
Hi Neta, yes the 'Smart' button is only for single purchases. If you want to offer your customer the option to pay for multiple items at once, then the 'Add to Cart' button would be a better solution. We've made a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html
You saved me! Amazing video, thanks!
Hi, thanks for the lovely feedback! 💜 So glad we could help you 😃
Very well tutorial but my account showed me not the option to create the button in the menu bar from Pay&Get Paid, after created the app. Any Idea why?
Hi there, thanks for your feedback. You can also access the buttons page by going to >> paypal.com/buttons if the option is not showing in your menu bar. However, PayPal has changed the process since we originally created this video 2 years ago. So once you go to the buttons page, it may redirect to you to a Developers page. It appears that all PayPal buttons now need to be coded in directly. If you'd like to avoid coding your buttons, or are not familiar with how to do it, you could set up your buttons using a website service like Wix, or Squarespace that makes this easy. Hope this helps!

Hi, you're very welcome! We're so glad it was helpful 😃
Sorry to hear it isn't working for you. When it comes to pasting code into your website, there is a key thing to remember and that is that if you change even just one character, that shouldn't be changed, or delete something that needs to be there, it will break the button, and won't perform as it should. It's possible that this is the reason why, but unfortunately, it's very hard to troubleshoot without looking at it.
So we recommend that you contact PayPal directly so they can work out why and provide a solution.
www.paypal.com/au/smarthelp/contact-us
@@websitewiz Thank you so much for your reply. This makes a lot of sense- and was my first guess - as a friend copied the code and sent it to me via email to put into the website we are working on together- so it must be a change to the code that occurs when sending the code via email-
It worked perfectly from my own PayPal account - and inputting the code straight to the wix editor
Thank you again 🙏🏽🙂

BRO WHY THE F is it so complicated to implement discounts by default? cost,discount,then tax? why has all the eccomerce options stopped doing this? wtf is going on?
Hi Yordan, not much we can do about that. We agree. We aren't programmers and that's why we rely on solutions like Wix to do the heavy lifting for us. We agree that you shouldn't need to be a programmer to use things like PayPal. Hope you find an easy solution somewhere out there. Wish we could help more.

You're welcome! 😃
can you please show how to do the same on a shopify website....and paypal has changed a lot can you please make a new one.....and i also tried adding the code for me its not showing up
Hi Rocky, thank you for your suggestions. If you have pasted the code into your web page and the button is not showing up, that could mean there is an error in the code. We suggest starting again from the beginning and go through step by step to make sure the code is correct. Even adding an extra period, or comma etc. will break the coding so that the button won't work. Hope this helps!
Wow is perfect!!
Thanks so much you are the best!!

beautiful explanation but they change a lot now. and you cant create any more that button and just copy that code. they move to json now which is very heavy for my machine
Thanks very much for the feedback 😃 Yes, unfortunately PayPal has updated their interface and it requires a lot more work to create the button than before.
how does the api know what the payment is for and what to do after the payment is made? for instance, allow access to a webpage after payment
Hi Mike, Using the Smart button shown in this video, PayPal only knows what the payment is for based on the info you provide when setting up the button - in the field 'Item Description'. It's in no way connected to your website or dynamic products on your site. It's a standalone button on PayPal only.
Once a payment is complete using the button, PayPal displays a successful payment message. If you need to redirect your customers to another page after they purchase, then we recommend using a different button for that. The 'Smart' button requires coding to make that work. So the easiest way would be to use another button that allows redirection to another page as part of setting up your button. You can do this easily using PayPal's 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' buttons. These are located on the same page as the ‘Smart’ button of your PayPal account, as shown in the video. There is a field listed for redirection.
This is the easiest way we have found to redirect a customer to another page after purchase. Please note that it is not a secure link. Meaning that once a person knows the redirection URL, when they land on it, they will be able to access it anytime. If you want a more secured option, where the URL only loads after confirming that a person is a paying customer, this would need to be coded in and required a more advanced setup. If you're not familiar with coding, in that case you'd be best to pay for a third party platform to manage this function for you and avoid the standalone PayPal buttons altogether. We hope this helps answer your question.
Hello 👋.your videos are life savers. Thank you so much. I would like to ask is there a way to customise every product page in Wix differently since all the products has different prices and the button which we add applies to all the products with same prices. I am so frustrated i can't find a solution. Please help me if you can 🙏. Please 🙏🥺
Hi Pranav, thanks so much for the positive feedback. We appreciate it 💜 If you have different products with different prices, and don't want to use the integrated paid Stores app with Wix, then you'll want to check out the PayPal 'Add to Cart' button.

Great Detail... Thanks for that
Hey Paul, glad you found it helpful! 😃
Thank you for this! I have a question thu, what if I have multiple products with different prices, do I have to create as many smart buttons?
Hi Shickler, you're welcome 😃 Yes, you would have to create multiple Smart buttons. However, the PayPal 'Smart' button is recommended for those who sell only a few simple products or want a donation.
If you have more than a few products, and want to offer your customer the option to checkout with many products, all at once (in one checkout), then we would recommend using the ‘Add to Cart’ button for your store. This will allow your customer to buy a combination of products from different categories and pages, all within one order.
Using the ‘Add to Cart’ button, you’re able to create a shopping cart (for multiple products) which would probably work better than the ‘Smart’ button, which is best used for single products only. This allows your customer to go back and add more products to their cart, before paying and in doing so, streamlines the entire shopping experience for them.
You will need to create a different button for each product, but this is the case with any online store. For each product you have, you need a button.
To learn more about the ‘Add to Cart’ button we've made a video on that here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
Can i create debit card smart button by this video instructions on debutify theme?
Hi Sehrish, thank you for your question! Unfortuantely, we wouldn't recommend using this method with a Shopify website as their suite of integrated payment solutions are more functional and user-friendly than these standalone PayPal buttons.
How does this work for shopping cart applications though? My website allows customers to design/order screen printed apparel, so obviously no two order amounts are going to be the same. I need PayPal to handle the transaction, but the transaction amount is dynamically generated (depending on what they're ordering).
This approach seems a bit redundant, as you've got to generate a separate button for each individual item in your store. My website uses a "shopping cart" approach, where the user builds an order and then "checkout" is the final step, and I need PP to capture payment for the full cart total.
Hi Sixstanger00, yes you're right that this approach is tedious for those with larger stores that need to generate a lot of buttons and have dynamic pricing based on variable product options.
However, we do mention that at the beginning of the video, and only recommend this method for those with smaller stores and low start up budgets. This button doesn't provide you with an entire e-commerce solution. But it does allow you to take payments on your website with no upfront setup costs.

From what you've said that you need, this system would work, but there are many paid shopping cart integrations that plug into PayPal more seamlessly and easily, which would work better.
I have a question I offer 3 subscription plans on my website but when I embedd all of 3 of them on their respective place only button is showing up . PLease help !!!!!!!!!!
Hi Tate, thanks for your comment. We suggest contacting PayPal directly as they have more control over button features than we can offer. It could be many reasons why it's not working properly. Here's a link to their contact page: www.paypal.com/au/smarthelp/home

How can i know checkout in sandbox Paypal account through express
Hi Salaudeen, thanks for your question! To determine if your PayPal account is in Sandbox mode, you can look for a few key indicators:
1. **URL Check**: Check the URL when you are logged in. If the URL contains "sandbox.paypal.com", you are in the Sandbox environment. The regular PayPal accounts operate under "paypal.com".
2. **Dashboard Appearance**: When you log into the PayPal Sandbox environment, the interface typically mentions "Sandbox" somewhere on the dashboard, often at the top or in the account overview section.
3. **Email Notifications**: If you receive email notifications from PayPal and they mention "Sandbox" or "Test Email" within the subject or body, it's a clear indication that the actions are being performed in a Sandbox environment.
4. **Testing Features**: If you're able to perform tests without real money transactions and with test data, such as using test credit card numbers, this is another sign that you're in the Sandbox environment.
If you're developing or testing integrations and you're unsure or need to switch between modes, you might need to log out from one environment and log in to another with the appropriate credentials. Hope this helps!

Great video! My only question is if there's a way to "see" my button or some type of "insights" from my Paypal account.
Hi Elisa, great question! Not that we know of unfortunately. It's weird but there are no 'saved' Smart buttons within the PayPal account. All other types of PayPal buttons such as 'Add to Cart', 'Donate', 'Subscribe' etc. can be saved and edited, but not Smart buttons.
Thanks, how do we create a QR code for the pay pal button you created... and how to add the QR code to the store..
I have an education site, so my products are services rather than physical items. In a non-shopping cart scenario like mine, how do you determine whether the buyer's payment was approved or not? If approved, how do you redirect them to, in my case, the lesson page? How do you prevent the tech savvy buyer from 'viewing' the page, obtaining your client-id and forwarding URL to bypass the payment page altogether? Thanks for any help.
Hi Jeff, Great question! I can only give general educational advice of course, as I'm not a qualified business advisor. That said, building an educational site with the requirements you're specifying, these simple stand-alone PayPal buttons won't be able to do what you need, unless you are able to code them to do more.
And even If coding is an option for you, it will require so much expertise and upkeep, you'd probably be better off paying for an already-built e-commerce system that does what you need out-of-the-box, such as WooCommerce, BigCommerce or Shopify.
A quick comparison of these three is:
1. WooCommerce - the cheapest (free), but it has the greatest learning curve of the three.
2. BigCommerce - cheaper overall than Shopify but with a greater the learning curve than Shopify.
3. Shopify - the easiest to implement, but the most expensive solution, in our opinion, over the long term.
I'd contact each of their customer-service departments and ask specific questions about whether they can do what you need, especially asking if their software can detect when payments are made, and if so, whether it then able to redirect customers to specific "paid only" pages.
Hope this helps.
Thankyou so much For this it was really very helpful.

"Hi Malibamat, thanks for your question. To test in sandbox mode, simply go ahead and create your button without creating a live app. I cover this in the video from 53 seconds onwards here: ua-cam.com/video/9p-kA20-Bgg/v-deo.html

Strange, after I select "Smart Buttons" I don't get the button preview page as shown. Instead, I'm taken to a page with lists of options where there only seems to be instructions ... but no preview.
Hi Rob, unfortunately PayPal is no longer offering standalone payment solutions, such as their Smart Button, without coding it in directly, or using one of their partner applications, such as Wix, Squarespace etc.
If you want to take the coding path, please check out this page on PayPal's website to get started:

Hi Wiz, please help!
I used this guide a few months ago and it worked perfectly. I just tried to create a new button and the page shown at 2:20 doesn't show up anymore. It just takes me to a developer site where it talks about code. Is this functionality no longer available?
Hi Nicolas, it does appear that PayPal has made some changes to their button pages since we created this video over a year ago. From what we can see it now needs to be coded in to work. If you're not familiar with coding, you'll need to outsource this. Another option would be to connect to PayPal through one of the paid website platforms out there such as Wix, Squarespace etc. Or a third option would be to use a different button type such as 'Add to Cart' or 'Buy Now'. We have another video that shows how to set these buttons up here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html Hope this helps!
How much PayPal charge for the checkout service. Any cost associate with the button you implemented for the website?
Hi Zabii, usually the fees are based on each transaction value. Last time we checked it was a small flat fee + a percentage of the transaction value. But the exact rates may vary depending on your banking location and other factors, such as your customer's location etc. Best bet would be to do a Google search for "PayPal Merchant Fees (ADD YOUR COUNTRY)" for more info or contact PayPal direct: www.paypal.com/us/smarthelp/contact-us Hope this helps!

Thank you for Video . Kindly tell how to redirect to thank you confirmation page where we can provide secure download link?
Hi, you're welcome! 😃 Redirecting to a secure confirmation page which includes a secure download link is an advanced feature and would require some server-side coding to make it work.
If you're not familiar with coding, your best bet would be to pay for a premium solution that includes this download option as part of your website builder. E.g. a Wordpress plugin, or a Wix business plan etc. where it's all taken care of for you.
If you go the coding route, the first thing we'd recommend is using PayPal's 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' buttons. Not the 'Smart' button. Reason being is that they both include a 'redirect to URL after payment' option when setting up the buttons. You could include a URL where your digital product is located. That said, to make it secure you'd still need to do some custom coding. And unfortunately we don't have the coding skills to tell you how to do this.

Hi Paul, we've noticed that PayPal has been making some changes to their button pages of late and so it could be that this has moved or no longer available. Best bet would be to contact PayPal directly for help.
Question: On my current website I have used the PayPal buttons with dropdown menus. Shopping for a different website builder, I find many do not allow HTML snippets however do allow a one line PayPal account name or email address in a button. I'm not understanding how this works, do you know?
Hi Melvin, with the modern website builders they usually code the buttons directly into their own systems automatically, meaning you wouldn't use your existing PayPal buttons anymore. You would just need to add your email address / PayPal account name to your website builder account settings and they do the rest. By the sounds of it your current website is using standalone PayPal buttons, which wouldn't be necessary with the newer website builders. Hope this helps answer your question.
Hi, thanks for the great tutorial. What happens when your Client ID does not match the one generated in the button code?
Cheers
Hi Richard, you're welcome! 😃 If the Client ID in the code does not match your own Client ID, then you can just overwrite it with your own. Hope this helps!

I have already added this in my site but there's 1 button that says "Pay Later". How can I deactivate that?
Hi Razelvi, to deactivate the "Pay Later" option when you've integrated PayPal Smart Buttons on your website, you usually need to adjust the settings within your PayPal account or through the PayPal button integration code on your website. Here's a general guide to do it:
*THROUGH PAYPAL ACCOUNT SETTINGS*
1. *Log in to your PayPal Business account*: Access your account on the PayPal website.
2. *Access the Button Settings*: Navigate to the area where you manage your PayPal buttons. This could be under "Seller Tools" or a similar section depending on PayPal's current interface.
3. *Edit Button Features*: If PayPal offers direct control over the "Pay Later" feature from the account settings (this might not always be the case), you'll find an option to edit or remove specific features related to the buttons.
4. *Disable Pay Later*: Look for options related to financing or Pay Later features and disable them.
*THROUGH BUTTON INTEGRATION CODE*
If you don’t find an option to disable the Pay Later feature directly from your PayPal account settings, you may need to adjust the PayPal Smart Button code on your website:
1. *Find the PayPal Smart Button code* on your website. This is the code snippet you added to integrate the PayPal buttons.
2. *Adjust the code*: You need to include the `disable-funding` option and specify `paylater` as the value you want to disable. Here’s how you can add it to the existing Smart Button code:
paypal.Buttons({
// Your button configuration
disableFunding: 'paylater',
// Other options like createOrder, onApprove, etc.
}).render('#paypal-button-container');
This javascript code tells PayPal not to offer the Pay Later option as part of the Smart Button options on your website.
*IMPORTANT NOTES*
- *Test the Changes*:
After making these adjustments, the Pay Later option should no longer appear to your customers. However, it’s good to test the button to ensure everything works as expected.
- *Documentation and Support*:
Since PayPal occasionally updates its features and how they're managed, it's wise to consult the [PayPal Developer Documentation](developer.paypal.com/docs/) or contact PayPal support for the most current methods.
If you're not comfortable making these changes yourself, consider reaching out to PayPal support for additional guidance.
Hope this helps.
It looks like paypal went and changed the process again. Can you make an updated video? Thank You
Hi, unfortunately we don't know how to code in javascript, which is required to create the new standalone buttons from PayPal.
But if you want to take the coding path, please check out this page on PayPal's website to get started:
developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/
Otherwise, the only other way to connect PayPal buttons to your website is to sign up for a paid solution using one of their partner applications, such as Wix, Squarespace etc.
Hope this helps!

Very helpful tutorial - thank you! I know that PayPal will email a response to me after a client submits a payment - but is there any way that PayPal can communicate a response back - either directly to the client's browser, or via an api back to my own web server. Some sort of response code to indicate if transaction was successful or not?
Hi, thanks for your question. As far as we know there isn't a way to do make PayPal communicate a response back as such but it could be possible with programming knowledge. Alternatively, you could use a third-party automation platform that performs an action (such as a 'response') based on events (such as a 'successful payment')
Basically, the automation software is connected to your PayPal account and your email program. You then use the software to trigger your Email account to send an automated email every time you receive a payment to your PayPal account.
There are 3 automation platforms that we think would work well for what you want to do:
1. www.zapier.com
2. www.automate.io
3. www.make.com (Also known as Integromat)
PayPal is considered a premium app with Zapier and Automate, so you would need a paid plan to make it work with them. But Make.com has a free plan that will work with PayPal.
However, Zapier looks to be the easiest to use... but is the most expensive. Automate is affordable with plans starting at $9 / month. And Make has, as I mentioned, has a limited free plan, which you could use to make this work. But we did find it to have more of a learning curve than the other two.
All of them, of course, have a learning curve though. If you are going to use Make.com, we recommend you watch these videos first:
1. ua-cam.com/video/AmILvt7zRJs/v-deo.html
2. ua-cam.com/video/V99tPHcqHzE/v-deo.html
Hope this helps!
Hi i had my team following your tutorial to get it to work. Now we need to know what settings did i miss to enable seeing the item descriptions in the paypal confirmation notifications?

Hi can you please show us the next step ? How to redirect the client to our services after they have paid ?
Hi, great question! If you need to redirect your customers to another page after they purchase, then we recommend using a different button for that. The 'Smart' button requires coding to make that work. So the easiest way would be to use another button that allows redirection to another page as part of setting up your button. You can do this easily using PayPal's 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' buttons. These are located on the same page as the ‘Smart’ button of your PayPal account, as shown in the video. There is a field listed for redirection.
This is the easiest way we have found to redirect a customer to another page after purchase. Please note that it is not a secure link. Meaning that once a person knows the redirection URL, when they land on it, they will be able to access it anytime. If you want a more secured option, where the URL only loads after confirming that a person is a paying customer, this would need to be coded in and required a more advanced setup. If you're not familiar with coding, in that case you'd be best to pay for a third party platform to manage this function for you and avoid the standalone PayPal buttons altogether. We hope this helps answer your question.
Thanks for your video. My question is what if you selling 3 services different prices can you create multiple paypal buttons?
Hi Ptah, thanks for your question. Yes, you can create multiple PayPal buttons for different services. However, the customer won't be able to "order" multiple services at one time using this button. If they want to buy multiple services at once, it would be best to use the 'Add to Cart' button. If you need this kind of flexibility, we have a video showing you how to do that here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html
You can also use the Smart button to create a dropdown menu for each service, all within one single button. To do this, choose 'Single-select list' as show here in the video:
ua-cam.com/video/9p-kA20-Bgg/v-deo.html
Hope this helps!

What is live webhooks? Is it mandatory to fill?
Hi Bharat,
*What is live webhooks?*
To summarize Wikipedia, a webhook is a method of increasing the usefulness of a web page or web app by triggering actions based on an initial action.
An action completed by the user starts the process. In the case of Cookies, the action can be as simple as just visiting the site. That one action triggers one or more messages to be sent to one or more other places on the web, triggering even more actions, and so on and so on.
Some simple examples of webhooks are:
• A comment being posted to a blog ticks up the count of comments by one.
• Cookies that track where you go and what you do online.
• A date and time on your calendar app that triggers an alarm on your computer and an email sent to your email account, reminding you of an appointment.
• A sale on your shopping website triggering an email to be sent to the client confirming their order and another to you, to your fulfilment department and to your shipping department.
• A new sign-up triggers a welcome email to be sent to the new subscriber.
*Is it mandatory to fill?*
As to what is mandatory to fill, I don’t know Bharat? You’ll have to provide more information. Thanks.
Hope this helps.

Hi, what e-commerce selling account do you use? Wix?
how do i add a redirect url for a smart button?
Hi Sonika, thanks for your question. It's not easy to set up a redirection for this particular button. The 'Smart' button requires coding to make that work. So, the easiest way to do this would be to use another button. One that includes a redirection option as part of setting up the button in the first place. You can do this easily using PayPal's 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' buttons. These buttons include a field for a redirection page as part of set up. These buttons are located on the same page as the ‘Smart’ button of your PayPal account, as shown in the video.
Please note, if you use the 'Add to Cart' button, there is also a ‘View Cart’ button, which you would place in the header of your site too, which allows your customer to view their shopping cart while they’re shopping. Make sure to include this on your site too.
We've created a video on the 'Add to Cart' button which you can check out here: ua-cam.com/video/C-thWrCUYFs/v-deo.html

Hi there, what if the paypal button does not appear and the sell on social does not work. Then what? :(
Hi Chesly, if that happens your best bet would be to reach out to PayPal directly for technical support: www.paypal.com/au/smarthelp/home
