Overview

Selling a single product, accepting a small fee, or gathering donations requires a payment solution that customers trust and can use instantly. The PayPal Button Widget allows you to securely embed a pre-configured transaction button directly onto any page of your website, providing an alternative, globally recognized payment option.

This widget provides a quick and trusted path to monetization:

• Two Transaction Modes: Effortlessly set up the button for direct product sales (Buy) or for accepting contributions and tips (Donate), tailoring the button's purpose to your needs.

• Full Pricing Control: Easily specify all necessary transaction details, including the item name, price, shipping cost, and tax percentage, ensuring accurate transactions.

• Leverage Trust: Benefit from PayPal’s globally recognized security and brand reputation, giving your customers confidence when completing a transaction on your site.
