Open a new page to work on or open the page that you want to add the buttons to. Then look for the Paypal eCommerce panel. This should be the last panel on the left of your window.

Let’s take a look at the General tab. In the top part of the box you will see the different buttons that you can choose from. The number of buttons that you will have will depend on the button that you created. The Buy Now Paypal button has about 8 buttons that you can choose from. Tick the field beside the button that you want to use. You will also need to enter your Paypal Account Name in the top field.

The other tabs are going to differ depending on the button that you chose. The buttons that have the Details tab is where you enter a description for the item. Some of the buttons have a Shipping tab. In this tab you will need to enter the shipping information. And so on with the other tabs. Most of the tabs are pretty self explanatory.
