Pay Pal used to allow us to create simple code for Pay Pal buttons. The snippet was a short bit of HTML that looked like this: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=JXXXXXXXXX.
This old style "link" code was GREAT for sharing! I've tried numerous times, but the "smart buttons" offered create something with very, very long code, not a simple HTML link as before. Has something changed? If it's still possible to create simple links to our pay pal to make a payment - - can someone suggest where and how? The ONLY options we see are to make these "smart buttons". I tried the new-style code for smart buttons on our Wordpress site, and it does NOT display.
Also - there used to be an area that listed all our Pay Pal buttons. Has that feature been eliminated? Thanks everybody!!
