  Hi,
  I followed the instruction on https://wordpress.com/support/paypal/ but my free wordpress.com still strips the paypal code on Publish.

  I could not find a way to select Shareable code on the paypal button generation page, as the article suggests. There’s only one version of the code available.

  Nor was I able to find a non encrypted version of the code

  <form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top">
  <input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
  <input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="I_REMOVED_CHARACTERS_HERE">
  <table>
  <tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on0" value="לרכישת יותר מספר אחד אנא בחרו">לרכישת יותר מספר אחד אנא בחרו</td></tr><tr><td><select name="os0">
      <option value="ספר אחד">ספר אחד ₪65.00 ILS</option>
      <option value="שני ספרים">שני ספרים ₪130.00 ILS</option>
      <option value="שלושה ספרים">שלושה ספרים ₪180.00 ILS</option>
  </select> </td></tr>
  <tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on1" value="אנא הזינו כתובת למשלוח בדואר">אנא הזינו כתובת למשלוח בדואר</td></tr><tr><td><input type="text" name="os1" maxlength="200"></td></tr>
  <tr><td><input type="hidden" name="on2" value="אנא הזינו כתובת אימייל">אנא הזינו כתובת אימייל</td></tr><tr><td><input type="text" name="os2" maxlength="200"></td></tr>
  </table>
  <input type="hidden" name="currency_code" value="ILS">
  <input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/he_IL/IL/i/btn/btn_buynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - הדרך הקלה והבטוחה יותר לשלם באינטרנט!">
  <img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/he_IL/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
  </form>

  Many thanks for your help!

  Hi there!

  You won’t be able to add any <form> code to a free site. You will need to add a link to your payment form to a button. You can choose one of the official buttons from PayPal or customize your own: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/buttons-block/

  The button would be on your site, and it would process on PayPal’s site.
