Add PayPal Shopping Cart Button WordPress shows you how to copy and paste the button code manually into WordPress post or page.
In this tutorial I show you how to copy and paste the code to a WordPress website. However you can paste the code into any website regardless of the CMS platform or even if it is a plain HTML website.
This applies to those who don’t want to install another plugin to their website.
(Important: PayPal is already secured, however you will also have to secure your website with SSL security. If you don’t you most likely end up loosing sales plus Google will not be happy.)
(Remember your shopping cart, images and prices will be different to this tutorial.)
