Step two - Create a 'Buy Now' button in PayPal

1. Log on to your PayPal account.

 

2. Click the Merchant Tools tab, then click the 'Buy Now Buttons' link (you might need to scroll down the page to find it).

4. Set the Security Settings to No  -  (make sure you do this!)

 

5. Click Create Button Now

 

6. Copy the line of code from the Link for Emails box.
