How to Get Payment on a Website Using PayPal

Create a Payment System on a Website with PayPal
1. Open a browser and navigate to PayPal.com.
2. Hover your mouse over 'Get Paid,' and then select 'Accept Credit Cards' in the drop-down menu underneath. On the next page, select 'Try it now.'
3. Fill out the form on the next page that asks what you're accepting payment for, whether you want a shopping cart, and what the name and price of the product is. You'll be able to add more products later.
4. Click on 'Step 2' underneath the first form. This optional step offers features for tracking inventory; if you select any one of these features, you'll be prompted to create a PayPal account or log into an existing account.
5. Click on 'Step 3.' You'll be prompted to create an account or log in if you haven't already done so. Fill out the advanced features, such as whether or not customers will be asked for their shipping address or what Web page to send users to after completing a purchase.
6. Select 'Create Button' when you're finished with all three steps.
7. Copy the block of code that PayPal provides on the next page. Paste it into your website at the spot you want the 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' button to appear.
8. Click on the 'Create a similar button' link beneath the block of code to continue adding buttons for other products.
