There are many reasons why you might want to create a PayPal payment button for your website. Whether you are selling your own product or you have purchased resale rights to MRR or PLR products, you’re going to need a graphic on your website to enable payment processing.

While the process is not difficult, it can be an impediment and a psychological barrier that prevents people from moving forward with their plans to collect payment on a product they want to sell.

The first thing to do is to view the following video. I reviewed a number of videos on YouTube on this subject until I found this one, which is pretty well done.

One aspect that’s not covered in the video is the ability to use your own button graphic rather than PayPal’s graphic. This can be done easily by clicking the ‘customize appearance’ link on the button creation page. Simply add the URL for the location of the image you want to use for your button, which you will have already had to upload to your server.

So to review the process outlined in the video above:

1. Log into your PayPal account

2. Click on the ‘Merchant Services’ button near the top of the page

3. In the ‘Tools for existing PayPal merchants’ section near the top, select the ‘Buy Now Button’

4. Complete all the fields in Part 1. If desired, click on ‘customize appearance’ to change the button text, the button size, or to use your own button graphic.

5. Steps 2 and 3 are optional, but Step 3 is very useful. If you want to direct your purchasers to a particular URL (from which they can download the file(s) purchased, there is a field in this section for that, as well as other useful options.

6. Click the ‘Create Button’ button at the bottom. This will take you to a page where you can download your button code.

7. Embed the HTML code on the page or pages of your website where you want your payment button to appear.

That’s all there is to it. So go ahead, get your sales page organized, create your button, and start watching those sales roll in!
