Pay with PayPal Button

$
0
0

The Pay with PayPal Button lets you add a payment button to any post or page, and immediately start accepting PayPal payments for physical products, digital goods, or donations.

Requirements

To use the Pay with PayPal button, your site needs to have an active Jetpack Premium or Professional plan.

Why? Because in order to make the block work, we need to integrate with third-party cloud services (such as the PayPal API), send notification emails and summaries, and store tokens and API keys in a PCI-compliant manner.

Adding a Pay with PayPal Button

You can add a Pay with PayPal Button to any post or page, by selecting it from the Jetpack section of the block picker:

See our Jetpack Blocks page for more information on adding Jetpack blocks.

The following short video shows the full process of adding a Pay with PayPal Button to a post:

  1. Select the Pay with PayPal Button from the Jetpack section of the Block Picker.
  2. Add an image for product or good you’re selling.
  3. Enter the name of the item.
  4. Enter a brief description of the item.
  5. Select your currency and enter the price (without a currency symbol).
  6. Select whether to allow people to buy more than one of the item at a time.
  7. Enter your PayPal email address.

The email address you enter will determine where PayPal sends payments for the items sold or donations collected. Double-check the email address you enter to be sure it’s valid and belongs to you! You’ll also need a free PayPal account linked to your bank account to claim any payments you receive.

You can add as many Pay with PayPal Buttons as you like to your page by repeating the process above.

Privacy Information

This feature is deactivated by default, and unlocking it requires an upgrade to the Premium or Professional plan. Because this is not a formal module within Jetpack, there is no way to deactivate it entirely. If you have access to this feature but are not actively using it, there is no code running on your site that’s interacting with it.

Please note that payments are processed via PayPal, so we also recommend reviewing its privacy policy and documentation.
