  Hi Anne,

  You should be able to save the PayPal Buy Now code in a text widget as long as you follow the instructions for creating the button here: PayPal

  Please note that there are some restrictions for the kind of button that you create. When creating the button, do not check the box next to any of the customization options, like drop-down menus or text fields. If you select any of those checkboxes, you’ll generate a button that you won’t be able to use on WordPress.com.

  After you create the button, you will need to use the code generated in the Email tab (not the Website tab). The code created by the Website tab cannot be used here at WordPress.com.

  If you have any other questions about this, please let me know!
