    Hi and thanks for using the forums.

    To make sure I understand correctly, you’ve created your button in PayPal and have the code, but now you need to know how to put the button code into your WordPress.com site.

    Assuming this is what you need help with, this is what you need to do.

    1. Make sure you’ve copied the button code provided by PayPal
    2. Open the page or post editor for the page or post you’d like to add the code to
    3. Click on the “Text” tab to the right just above the tool bar in your editor.
    4. Go to the location on the page where you’d like to add the button and past in the code.
    5. Click “Update” or “Save Changes”

    If you want to place the button in your sidebar follow these steps

    1. Go to Appearance => Widgets
    2. Drag a “Text” widget into your sidebar widget area
    3. Past the code into the text area
    4. Click the save button.

    If you need further assistance please let me know!
