Transaction through PayPal is very common for online shopping these days. PayPal can be used to sell both digital and non-digital products. If you do not use a WordPress Shopping Cart on your site, you might want to know how you can easily create a simple ‘Buy Now‘ button with PayPal and put on your product page or post to sell products.

In this tutorial I am going to show you how to create a simple ‘Buy Now’ button with PayPal. If you do not have a PayPal account, you can sign up for one here. If you already have a PayPal account, all you need to do is just log in to your account and follow the tutorial.

You can have either a PayPal ‘Personal’ or ‘Premier‘ or ‘Business‘ account to be able to create ‘Buy Now‘ buttons. If your account type is ‘Personal‘, you can always upgrade it to ‘Premier‘ or ‘Business‘ for free.

This is a very basic tutorial to create a simple ‘Buy Now‘ button. I did not customize the ‘Buy Now‘ button or the settings but you can play around with it on your own. Alternatively, if you are using WordPress then you can use a Free WordPress Shopping Cart plugin which will automatically create a simple PayPal button for you. The Free WordPress Shopping Cart can be found here.
