You can paste this into your Visual Editor when editing a post or page. The exact steps are explained in this guide.

I’m trying to create my donate button as a sidebar widget but whenever I copy the email code and paste it into the text widget it doesn’t work.
-
Could you paste the code into this thread? Please make sure that you generate the code according to the steps explained in the guide I mentioned before.
Thank you!
-
It looks like you may be pasting the full PayPal code, which we cannot support for security reasons.
Please make sure that you are specifically following the guide at http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
There is also a video tutorial at the bottom of the page.

I created my button a little differently, I was having troubles whenever I clicked on the merchant button so I did it by going to profile – my selling tools – Manage my payment buttons etc… Is this the problem do you think?
-
-
Ok I have created the button so many times by the guide and whenever I copy and paste it into a text widget nothing is working.
-
Would you please paste your email ink from PayPal into a reply here?
Also, which button image from http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/ were you trying to use?
-
This is the email code https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=SMVJXYV995MN6
-
I’m not sure what u mean by button image. I clicked on text widget and in the text section of the widget I pasted https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=SMVJXYV995MN6 and then clicked save.

Ok I have created the donate button but whenever it gets clicked on it brings up a page error. What now? Lol
-
I don’t see the button at http://thecybertongue.com/
The link you’re providing doesn’t seem to be correct either. Please make sure that you are getting the Email link, as detailed in http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/
-
Oh, I took it down because it wasn’t working, would it be easier for you if I put it back up?
-
Sure, but please also make sure that you’re using the Email link.
What you provided earlier was not the Email link.
Please refer to this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/paypal/

1. i opened up a new page and clicked on the text tab.
2. i copy and pasted this link to create a picture <img src=”https://www.paypal.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif” alt=”” />
3. i clicked on the visual tab and the picture is there.
4. i clicked on the picture to select it and i then clicked the “link” button, and in the URL section i deleted the http that was there and i pasted this email link. https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GU69UAJWM34JN
5. i then clicked publish. -

3. pasting this into the widget
