  PayPal does not show “link to e-mail” as stated in your instructions, only “website” code. How can I put a PayPal button on my web site to sell publications?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there,

  Can you confirm that you have a business or premier paypal account, and that you accessed the proper code through the “merchant services” link?

  We’ll start there and move through the instructions to see where the error is!

  Yes, I have a business account and went through the merchant services link. At the point where your instructions say there is a choice between “website” code and “link to e-mail” code, there is only “website” code.

  Ok, one more follow-up question before we start delving more: did you select “donation” for your button type?

  Thanks so much for the clarification!

  No, I want the “buy now” button because I am selling my book.

  Hi there,

  I was reading the documentation in regard to that, but after conferring with some colleagues, you should be able to use the buy now option as well.

  I just ran through the steps using the “buy now” option, and I was able to see the “email” tab next to the “website” tab. What browser are you running?

  If you could, would you make a screenshot of what you see on screen when you get to that step?

  Here’s a bit more information about how to take a screenshot:

  You can upload the screenshot to your media library and I can view it there.

  Cheers!
