Hi There,

Try the HTML button in the EasySiteWizard tool.  This is on the same toolbar where you would insert text boxes, amend text, insert pictures etc,

Thanks,

sounds like you need an eshop so that ppl can add stuff to a basket then "checkout" and pay with your paypal button?

as far as i remember the easy site wizard is for building the website only and there is another bit for a shop. like they are seperate things?

which do you have?

Actually Alistair, Paypal does have basic shopping cart functionality and can turn pretty much any site into a simple online shop. Obviously it is not as advanced as the BT eShop but if you are only selling a handful of products, it would do the job.

nice... i still cant think how it works though. but then again i dont have an online shop

Hi there sorry for the delay in getting back to you all, Yes I am wanting to add paypal to my site so customers can pay for items. I know i have probably purchased the wrong package, but i was told I can add a paypal pay now button and cart to my basic site, the problem is I just cant seem to upload the html paypal link to my site.

Ok i have been on to paypal, and set up all my buttons i want to transfer on to my website.. pay pal says its easy.. all i have to do is copy and paste on to my websites html code? where do i find my html code? thanks in advance..

Hi Joanne

I am having exactly the same trouble as you. I've found the HTML code by going to the EasyWebSite Wizard and clicking on the pencil-like symbol - it's at the top, more or less in the middle of the screen, and then clicking on "Edit HTML source". That shows your page in HTML language. However, I can't find out how to get the PayPal button code into the HTML source code that is shown there.

Does anyone know how to do this?

hi i was having the same problem but i have the answer for you

after you have got the code from your paypal account go to your website and type in "paypal button" where you want the button to be then go to the html editor on your website ( looks like a pencil) view the html source and if you read down you will see a bit where you put "paypal button" all you do is remove that text and put in its place the code generated by paypal for your button hope this helps good luck 🙂

This sounds like a good solution. I'll give it a go!

Thanks for the tip!
