Hi Joombooking,

 

Welcome to the Community. That's a very good question, although the answer may not be as simple. If you're using a website designer with a graphical user interface, you should be able to resize the button in your web designer directly; for example by hovering your cursor over a corner of the button and dragging.

 

Alternatively, you can also resize the button by diving into the button's code. This is a little more complicated, but it'll also do the trick. I've included some simple steps below on how to resize your button this way. Additionally, a quick internet search on "how to resize PayPal button" also returns various tutorials.

 

1. Go into your PayPal button's code. It should look something like this.

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">

<!-- Saved buttons use the "secure click" command -->
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">

<!-- Saved buttons are identified by their button IDs -->
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="221">

<!-- Saved buttons display an appropriate button image. -->
<input type="image" name="submit" border="0"
src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif"
alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online">
<img alt="" border="0" width="1" height="1"
src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" >

</form>

 

 2. Towards the bottom, you'll find the line of code that specifies your button image as a .gif. In this example its specified in the below line:

<input type="image" name="submit" border="0"
src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif"
alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online">

 

3. Add "width" and "height" parameters to the code followed by the corresponding values as illustrated in the below example. In this example, the width specified is "92" pixels while the height is "26" pixels.

<input type="image" name="submit" border="0"
src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_LG.gif"
alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online" width="92" height="26">

 

4. Save the changes you've made and you should be good to go with your newly resized button. Smiley Happy

 

Pheeeew! I'm glad that's done. Hope it helps! Smiley Happy
