Small businesses that want to accept payments online or in person can set up pay links, buttons, and QR codes to accept payments on the website. You don't need a developer, coding knowledge, or a website to accept payments. If you already have a website, you can copy and paste PayPal buttons.
There are 3 copy-and-paste options to accept payments. All 3 options support payment methods such as PayPal, Venmo, Pay Later, and credit and debit cards.
When a buyer places an order and makes a payment, you'll receive the order details on your PayPal dashboard. You can provide shipping details to complete the order. Payment method availability varies by region.
Steps to build pay links and buttons:
- Log in to your PayPal business account. Select the Pay link or button to see a page to build your pay link and button.
- Pick your settings. Add required information such as Pricing and Product name.
- Optional: Add information such as Shipping fee and Tax rate %.
- Select Change the look and feel to modify the look and feel of payment method options from a list of colors and styles. You'll get a preview of how the information you entered will look as a button, payment link, or QR code.
- Select Build it. Copy and paste the buttons, pay links, or QR codes wherever you need them.
The button code includes step-by-step instructions to paste HTML or React code into your website, depending on your website type.
