How do I sell my paperback book on my website?

Hi,

How do I go about creating a PayPal payment button? I would like to sell my paperback to the customers and have PayPal calculate the shopping fees?

PS. Also it has become evident that the HTML code that PayPal offers doesn't work on Wordpress websites. Is there a way to maybe just add a text only link to PayPal that would work in a similar way. The one on the website at the moment doesn't know how to calculate shipping it seems.

Make a PayPal Buy Now button and export the button code as email url. Instead of just using a text url on the web page, make a button image or download one from: https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/logos-buttons (make sure you’re not logged into paypal account to see this page) (right click on image to download image. Or download one off the net and then host it on your Wordpress site) 

Then link the email url and image url to the button:

<a href="Paste PayPal button email url here"><img src="Paste PayPal button image url here" alt="Check out with PayPal" width="100%" height="100%"> </a>

Then copy and paste the code above somewhere on your site.

Hi,

Thanks. I'd imagine this would work. How do I create a button tho with multiple shipping options? As the one I seem to be able to find only has one fixed shipping cost that can be used when I'd ideally need at least three different options for the product: Finland / Europe / ROW.

Please follow the below steps and create PayPal button code and "Copy & Paste" the code on your website.

Login PayPal.com >> click on "settings icon" >> go to "Account settings" >> Website payments >>  PayPal buttons >> select the button type >> fill required details >> copy & paste the button code on your website.

Hi,

I'm afraid it seems Wordpress doesn't support PayPal buttons.
