Install the Online Payments application for quick and easy configuration of payment and donation buttons with PayPal.
Once the application has been enabled, you may drag it from the left menu and put it on a desirable place on the page. This way it will be available for configuration as well.
Hover over the placed element and click on the cogwheel icon to configure it. From Select Button Type option you can select PayPal or Google Checkout (discontinued).
The available PayPal button options are as follows:
- Buy Now - This option allows customers to click once and quickly purchase one item at a time.
- Add to Cart - The usage of this button allows customers to choose one or more items for a single checkout.
- View Cart - Let customers review the items in their carts before they check out.
- Donate - Let customers choose a fixed or variable donation amount.
After you've selected the desired button, you can set the Item Name, Price & Currency to be used for the transaction, and the PayPal Account Email where the payments will be submitted.
Options:
- Align at: Option to align the button to the left, right or center
- Item ID: You may specify an ID for each item for easier tracking
- Button Options:
- Quantity option: If you enable this option your customers will be able to specify the quantity of items they want to purchase at PayPal Checkout page.
- Item type option with unique price per type: This option allows your customers to select among different type of items that have set a specific price for each type. For instance, a T-shirt can have several types that change the price, such as several sizes. A T-shirt of size XXL can cost more than a T-shirt of size S. The item types and their prices will appear in drop-down menus next to the button.
- Additional item type option: This option allows enabling an additional dropdown menu for the goods you are selling, similar to the above, without the unique price per type.
- Text field: This option lets you add a maximum of 2 text fields, allowing your visitors to insert а message or а comment along with their purchase. You can insert name or other text next to your text fields.
4. Custom Button Image: The PayPal button's properties allow you to upload a custom image for your buttons. You can use a file from your computer or an URL address for the image.
Note: The Online Payments application cannot be added inside a Text and Image element. It is only designed to be added as an individual element. When used in combination with the Section Group element, you can create a layout very similar to what can be achieved with Tables.
