  Please can we allow PayPal embed code?

  At the moment only simple PayPal buttons are possible, using the ’email it’ link they provide.

  As a charity we can’t afford expensive shopping cart solutions but still need to provide seamless enough experience for our users. Not being able to use PayPal code is a bit of a bind.

  Thank you.

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

  The only PayPal code that will operate on a blog hosted by wordpress.COM is here https://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  That’s not going to happen and you can read on to comprehend why I say that.

  eCommerce is not possible on a wordpress.COM hosted blog unless you have a Business upgrade for $299. per year in US funds. See here:

  Otherwise, provided you are selling only what you yourself make or a service that you personally provide you have two options.

  (1) PayPal – Know that the only instructions that will work for posting a PayPal donation button on a WordPress.com blog are found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

  (2) If you set up an eCommerce site somewhere else online you can create a custom menu http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/ and include a custom link to that site in it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/menus/#adding-custom-links

  Some bloggers create a contact form https://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/ on a page and after the people have made a PayPal donation they provide the link to a private page for downloading files. Maybe that will work for you.
