Creating PayPal Buttons

[Amythyst]

I just logged on and was hit with the 'new version' of Paypal.  I need to create a new payment button and cannot find a link to do so.  Help!

Here's one way:

On the main login page, look for the word Tools and click on it.

You should see an icon that says "PayPal Buttons"    (it's directly under the words "Accept payments anywhere")

Click on the PayPal Buttons icon.

At the bottom right of the screen, click on "Create a Button"

The rest is straight forward.

Thank You!!

Do you need a specific type of account to create buttons?  I looked on all of the pages available to me and can not find a 'Tools' link.

Thanks.

I don't see a tools link anywhere either.  I have created buttons a hundred times, but now it's gone.

I went 50 rounds with tech support.  Here is the only "work around" they can come up with.

goto www.paypal.com/profile

And you can see it then.  Yes, you have to physically type it in.  There are no links anywhere to get to it.

Would prefer they go back to the old classic interface.  Was much easier.

Hope this helps.

Sorry, forgot to add.   Once you get there, its under "Selling Tools"

Hi all!

I'm sorry to hear that our customers are having trouble finding what they need on our updated site. Rest assured we are updating things all the time, so what we may not presently have will most likely be there at some point in the future.

As far as being able to create buttons, www.paypal.com/webaccept will take you directly to the button creation page. This should work on every version of our site we have and is about a step quicker than Cliff_W's workaround. But either way, hope this helps!
