    i am trying to add a paypal button to my website. i went through your help section and it said to use the Email tab option instead of the webite option – but i am not seeing an Email tab option.

    do i need a more advanced version of wordpress to do this or can you send me step by step instructions? here is the website code that was generated that won’t work:

    <form action=”https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr” method=”post” target=”_top”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”cmd” value=”_xclick”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”business” value=”(email visible only to moderators and staff)”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”lc” value=”CA”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”item_name” value=”Salsa 1″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”button_subtype” value=”services”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”no_note” value=”0″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”currency_code” value=”CAD”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”tax_rate” value=”13.000″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”bn” value=”PP-BuyNowBF:btn_buynow_SM.gif:NonHostedGuest”>
    <table>
    <tr><td><input type=”hidden” name=”on0″ value=”Salsa Classes”>Salsa Classes</td></tr><tr><td><select name=”os0″>
    <option value=”Salsa 1″>Salsa 1 $135.00 CAD</option>
    <option value=”Salsa 2″>Salsa 2 $135.00 CAD</option>
    <option value=”Salsa 3″>Salsa 3 $135.00 CAD</option>
    <option value=”Salsa Training Program”>Salsa Training Program $650.00 CAD</option>
    <option value=”Salsa Shines & Styling”>Salsa Shines & Styling $135.00 CAD</option>
    </select> </td></tr>
    </table>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”currency_code” value=”CAD”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_select0″ value=”Salsa 1″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_amount0″ value=”135.00″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_select1″ value=”Salsa 2″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_amount1″ value=”135.00″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_select2″ value=”Salsa 3″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_amount2″ value=”135.00″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_select3″ value=”Salsa Training Program”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_amount3″ value=”650.00″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_select4″ value=”Salsa Shines & Styling”>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_amount4″ value=”135.00″>
    <input type=”hidden” name=”option_index” value=”0″>
    <input type=”image” src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_buynow_SM.gif” border=”0″ name=”submit” alt=”PayPal – The safer, easier way to pay online!”>
    <img alt=”” border=”0″ src=”https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif” width=”1″ height=”1″>
    </form>

    thanks.

    The form-style button code that you posted won’t work, it’ll have to be the email link.

    Make sure that you follow the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/ exactly.

    I just went through it myself and it appears to still be accurate.
