PayPal
In situations where a shopping cart is overkill, it is possible use a simple PayPal-connected button.
- From within your PayPal account, choose Manage buttons under Seller Tools.
- Under Step 1, choose "Buy Now" button type, and fill out the item name and price. Do not customise the button.
- Skip Step 2 and Step 3 and just hit the 'Create Button' button.
- Under 'Add your button to your website', switch to the 'Email' tab and copy the link.
- Back in the Footprint Management System, go to the enrich tab of the item you wish to show the PayPal button for.
- Check the 'external url, button, iframe, widget' item and wait for the window to open.
- Put the PayPal link under url.
- Create a suitable caption for your button (e.g. 'Buy now').
Your item will now have a button that will start the PayPal checkout process. A PayPal icon will have been automatically added to your button.
