    Hi there,

    Instructions for adding a PayPal button to your site are here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

    It’s a bit different from just pasting in the code from PayPal.

    Also, the code you list above appears to be only CSS and not the code for a button that would actually link your PayPal account to your website.

    Please take a look at the instructions at the link I provided and let us know if you have further questions.

    Thank you for your response! I’m having trouble completing step 2 – getting the PayPal code- because I can’t find it on the PayPal site! I searched for a while for the BUTTON MANAGEMENT page to no avail. Any ideas there? I’d love to get this to work!
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi @spiritual00,

    I found some additional information on creating PayPal buttons and adding them to your website. Here is the link.

    I remember having trouble finding the page on the PayPal website to create the buttons as well! The instructions at the link above provide a link that will take you right to the button creation once you log in to PayPal.

    I hope this helps! Let us know if you need further assistance.

    @spiritual00 and @joyinco, many thanks for bringing the Paypal support page issue to light. I’ll be updating that today.
