Creating a PayPal Buy Now button is a great way to monetize your existing website with very little cost; as a matter of fact, it is completely free. You only pay Paypal if you make any money. Paypal will take a small cut of the funds that they accept on your behalf.

This is one of the most practical alternatives compared to paying for a full shopping cart or ecommerce type of account with companies like…. ZenCart, for example.

To add a Paypal Buy Now or donation button to your website, here’s how:
Log in to your PayPal account. The My Account overview page will open by default as always.

STEP 1: Click into the “Merchant Services” tab

STEP 5: Let’s look into the part 3. You can set to redirect your user to a particular page after they have successfully made the payment on PayPal website. Or, you can even redirect the user to a “Welcome back message” if the user cancelled the transaction in the PayPal website.
