Add a PayPal Payment Button To WordPress Blog
Setting up a WordPress blog for promoting a service or product of your own is a very simple and quick way to get an online presence. However adding a PayPal payment key on some WordPress blogs can be frustrating and may not even work.
Here is a simple WordPress guide to add a PayPal payment button within posts on your WordPress blog.
This requires the use of another WordPress plugin called AdSense-Deluxe. To learn more about using AdSense-Deluxe read this post: Install And Configure AdSense Deluxe WordPress Plugin.
Placing the PayPal payment button code directly into a post will usually not work on a WordPress blog. The simple soulution is to use an AdSense block to place the code for PayPal button within a post. Follow the instructions on this post: Install And Configure AdSense Deluxe WordPress Plugin. Simply substitute the PayPal payment code for an AdSense ad code. Then use the AdSense-Deluxe plugin to add the PayPal payment button to your WordPress blog post.
This problem came to my attention after configuring a new blog for a client: Karen Kreps is the author of Intimacies: Secrets of Love, Sex & Romance. Be sure to visit her blog and find out more about when she will launch the book .

What exactly do you mean by “substitute the PayPal payment code for an AdSense ad code”?

Andrew if you read the post I referred to above: . Install And Configure AdSense Deluxe WordPress Plugin
It shows how to add the AdSense code from Google into an AdSense block for the AdSense Deluxe plugin. But you can place anything into an AdSense block, including the code or script for a PayPal payment button.

Nice to have a paypal button, only paypal is going crazy lately, I would certainly use another paying method…

This button is very useful on the kind of website I’m developing right now that showcases my products.

This is cool. It reminds me of shareware for a donation.
Some people will pay for quality journalism or entertaining blogging. While others will get to enjoy free publications by those who “blog” for the love of it.

Now i know that whatever effort i did, paypal will not work on the post. I understand the adsense plugin allowed you to insert script to the content. Many thanks for your unique solution to the problem.
Cheers

Drive-By comments will be deleted! Like "Thanks for sharing", "Nice post", or any other text that doesn't contribute to the discussion. If you ask a very specific question about your particular WordPress theme, it will probably be deleted. I can fix your WordPress site but for a price. If you ask a question like "Why don't my blog work right", it will be deleted. If you ask a question about your WordPress site without a leaving a link to it, it will be deleted. The point is to ask questions and or comment on the the actual content of the post, and to please use some common sense. All comments are moderated and will appear when approved. Thank you.
