How to make money using PayPal on your site

If you want to create a PayPal button to place on your website, you’ve come to the right place. Accepting money from customers has never been easy and with the PayPal button that we are going to install you will be able to accept credit cards or PayPal directly from your website.

You should check with your business advisor to see if you need a business account for your website and sign up for one with PayPal before doing this. Also, follow the instructions in step 12 to avoid having to do this again. There are 14 “steps” to creating a button, but they’re all in a couple of pages, so this whole process is really easy.

PayPal Button Tutorial:

Step 1. Click on Business Services

Step 2. Click the Buy Now button

Step 3. Enter the item details – Note: these will appear on the customer’s invoice, so choose carefully

Step 4. Choose the button you like – My suggestion is to choose one of your buttons instead of your own image because if your button image is not hosted on a secure server, when the client clicks you will see a note that It says “the connection is not secure”. I found PayPal’s big Buy Now button to be the best for sales.

Step 5. You definitely need to encrypt your article data

Step 6. If you require shipping or taxes, please enter these items below. The best thing about selling digital products is that there is no shipping.

Step 7. You want to customize your order page so that your company logo appears when they’re shopping…this makes the transition easier for the shopper. This is a simple step – just upload your image! You can also make this image your default image in your profile preferences to avoid doing this every time for different types of products.

Step 8. I use successful payment URL as download page or even capture page. (Here’s a big secret: Add a signup form to your confirmation page to encourage people to sign up for your newsletter who are buyers. Of course, if they don’t want to sign up, you need a link to your download page here, too.) , or just have the product on the same page to download).

Step 9. If you would like to add a payment cancellation URL, you can do so here. I usually redirect them to the sales page in case they want to reconsider.

Step 10. If they can buy more than one item, set that preference here. If you need a shipping address, add it here too.

Step 11. Include a note – If you promote a product on a sales page, this is the part to add a special note if your subscribers get a bonus or something. Otherwise, skip this.

Step 12. Your email address is where you will be notified of payment. I have set up a separate email for this in My Account- Profile- Add Email

Step 13. Add the code to your page where you want the button to be, and you’re good to go. I usually test at this point for two reasons. This lets me know that the download process works and, for newbies, allows them to practice giving refunds, which are rare but do happen.

Step 14. Refunds if necessary-
1.History
2. Find the payment you want to refund
3. Details
4. Issue refund.

I hope you get a lot of sales.
