Speaking with a client of mine today, the topic of how to create a custom paypal button came up. So instead of leaving that bit of information in email space I thought I’d share with anyone else that stumbles upon this blog:

1) Log into paypal
2) Click on “Merchant Services” (dark blue tab in top middle of page)
3) Click on > Website Payments Standard (on left side navigation menu)
4) Now you can choose on what type of item you want to sell:

a) Sell Single Items (This is the case for most people)
b) Sell Mulitple Items
c) Accept Contributions
d) Accept Recurring Payments (great for hosting, & ongoing service contracts or consulting retainers)
e) Sell Gift Certificates

For our purposes we’ll now go into the Sell Single Items menu
