Managing PayPal /Credit Card code generated by PayPal at checkout

[mhimowitz01]

My nonprofit organization went dark during the pandemic's toughest 18 months. Before that, we used an online button creator to make a PayPal or Credit Card entry page for concerts, dinners, and other invents. PayPal delivered code I could paste into a page to create a button with input and prices of various options (prices for members and nonmembers, and so on). The code generator I used in 2019 has been changed. Where it used to give us lines of code that would produce PayPal or Credit Card buttons, it now gives me a four-button JavaScript snippet that provides VENMO and PayPalLater buttons.

So basically, we want the old choices, (regular PayPal) or Credit Card. I'm not a jS programmer, but I know enough about programming to cut and paste code if I can recognize what it's doing. I can't do it with the current tools. Basically, all I want is a piece of code that walks members through a simple credit card or PayPal transacttion. It now seems that the only way to get what we had before is to rewrite a much longer and less transparent to give us what we were able to generaie the old code. Most of are members are in their late 70s to early 90s, and they have no idea what VENMO or PayLaterPAYPAL do.  I am not a JavaScrip programmer so I get lost early in the source code that PayPal gives me to paste into my page.  Any help appreciated.

Please follow the below steps via your PayPal account. 

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

(Or)

Please contact your website developer or the support of your third party platform(eCommerce) who should be able to help you add the latest Smart button code on your website. 

Which buttons will I see?

The buttons that display are decided automatically, based on a range of factors, including:

• Buyer country
• Device type
• Funding sources the buyer has opted to see

As a result, each buyer might see a unique combination of buttons. Pay Later offers differ by country and have different buttons. To prevent certain buttons from displaying, see Disable funding in the JavaScript SDK reference.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,
