  Hi there, there are a few ways to add buttons:

  If you have the entire HTML code for your button, including a button graphic and link, you can drop it in a text widget:

  As long as the button is an image, could alternatively use an image widget, being sure to paste the link to your purchase page into the Link URL field:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/image-widget/

  Here’s a guide on using widgets, in case you need it:

  Widgets

  When pasting in HTML code in the text widget, keep in mind that you won’t be able to paste in any JavaScript code. If you find that your button is not working as expected, let me know and I can take a look at the code if you paste it into a http://pastebin.com/

  You can learn more about the types of code that are permitted on WordPress.com here: http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/

  Just let me know if you need further help.
