  I know how to create a functional Paypal button on my Wordepres.com website by generating the “email” link code (at Paypal) and using this code as a hyperlink for the “Buy Now” button image on the website. Works perfectly time and again, no worries there.

  However, I now have a Paypal button with multiple pricing options, and Paypal will not generate the “email” link code, only the straight HTML code. But this code will not work in my WordPress.com site. I don’t particularly want a shopping cart on my website; I’m happy forwarding visitors to Paypal as with the single-option button.

  How can this be accomplished? I need visitors to be able to hit the Paypal page and then select the various options there.

  Thanks,
  Gary

  Hey Gary!

  PayPal can only generate an HTML code, not an email one, if you use the drop down box. That is a more sophisticated button, and cannot be represented by a linked image.

  If you have multiple options, you’ll need multiple Buy Now buttons on your WordPress.com site.

  Sorry about that! Let me know if I can assist with anything else. Wishing you the best.
