Using paypal on facebook

[Badgirl66]

Just started a facebook business page and wanted to use paypal so people to pay for what they wanted. Was told to copy and paste link, when I did it allowed everyone to open my paypal account. Deleted that. Tried another way to choose button but they wanted to know value of product. I have different products at different prices. Can you use paypal on facebook and if so how.

Paypal was V ERY helpful when I called them.  BASICALLY there are two ways you can post your paypal stuff/link.

FACEBOOK does not allow HTML code.  PERIOD.  BUT it does allow HTTP code/LINK.  SO.

When you're in PAYPAL, and creating "buttons", you have two choices...WEBSITE and EMAIL.  CHOOSE EMAIL  and copy that link.   PASTE it in FACEBOOK and it'll come up with cookies error.   X out the error, leave the code and add your decription and you're good to go.  

That's as good as it gets and no way around it.  Until FACEBOOK changes it's security protocol, then this is the only work-a-round unless you wanna hack FACEBOOK.

Deleting cooks WILL NOT work.  It's a FACEBOOK thing.

STEP by STEP Instructions.

IF you have your own website (NOT FACEBOOK), then using the "WEBSITE" create button will work.

Cheers and bless.

Thank you for this info. I still have a question though. How do you "X out the error code"? Thank you in advance!

I have a Business page on Facebook and a Shop page. Once I get my button code from PayPal where "exactly" do I paste it? Thanks very much.

Do it again, when the error message comes up, look for a faint X in the top right corner above the error message only and click it, publish, and you have your link.
