PayPal Payments Standard Button Demo
PayPal Payments Standard Shortcode Parameters
Button Image
“button_image” parameter can be added to the shortcode to show your own button image instead of the default PayPal button. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" button_image="https://example.com/images/buy.png"]
Button Text
“button_text” parameter can be added to the shortcode to show a plain PayPal button. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" button_text="Pay Now"]
Shipping
“shipping” parameter can be added to the shortcode to charge shipping for an item. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" shipping="1.75"]
Shipping2
“shipping2” parameter can be added to the shortcode to charge shipping for each additional unit of an item. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" shipping="1.75" shipping2="0.75"]
This means, If a user orders:
My Product (Quantity 1), total shipping would be $1.75.
when the order becomes:
My Product (Quantity 2), total shipping would be $1.75 + $0.75.
When it contains:
My Product (Quantity 3), total shipping would be $1.75 + $0.75 + $0.75.
And so on.
This feature is also very useful if you want to offer shipping at a discounted rate for each additional item.
Weight
“weight” parameter can be added to the shortcode to specify the weight of an item. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" weight="2.20"]
If you have profile-based shipping enabled in your PayPal account and the shipping rates are configured with a basis of weight, the sum of weight values is used to calculate the shipping charges for the payment.
Weight Unit
“weight_unit” parameter can be added to the shortcode to specify the unit of weight. Supported values are: lbs, kgs. The default is “lbs” whether or not this parameter is present. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" weight="2.20"]
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" weight="2.20" weight_unit="lbs"]
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" weight="2.00" weight_unit="kgs"]
Tax
“tax” parameter can be added to the shortcode to specify a flat tax amount for an item. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" tax="2.15"]

[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" tax_rate="2.9"]
Handling Fees
“handling” parameter can be added to the shortcode to charge handling fees for an item. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" handling="2.50"]
This parameter is not quantity-specific. That means the same handling cost applies, regardless of the number of items on the order.
Success Page
“return” parameter can be added to the shortcode to redirect the user to a specific page on your site after the payment. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" return="https://example.com/thank-you"]
Cancellation Page
“cancel_return” parameter can be added to the shortcode to redirect the user to a specific page on your site if they cancel checkout before completing the payment. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" cancel_return="https://example.com/payment-canceled"]
Currency
To use a different currency code than the one you specified in the settings, you can add the “currency” parameter to the shortcode. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" currency="SGD"]
Show/Hide Shipping Address
“no_shipping” parameter can be added to the shortcode to control whether or not to prompt buyers for a shipping address. Allowable values are,
- 0 – Prompt for a shipping address but do not require one (This option is set by default)
- 1 – Do not prompt for a shipping address
- 2 – Prompt for a shipping address and require one
For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" no_shipping="1"]
Shopping URL
“shopping_url” parameter can be added to the shortcode to redirect buyers to a page when they click the Continue Shopping button on the PayPal Shopping Cart page. This parameter can only be used with an Add to Cart/View Cart button. For example:
[wp_paypal button="cart" name="My product" amount="4.99" shopping_url="https://example.com/shop"]
Allow Buyers to Specify the Quantity
“undefined_quantity” parameter can be added to the shortcode to allow buyers to specify the quantity of the item on the Paypal payment page. This parameter is only used with a Buy Now button. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" undefined_quantity="1"]
Open PayPal Button in a New Window/Tab
“target” parameter can be added to the shortcode to open a PayPal button in a new window or tab. For example:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="4.99" target="_blank"]
Change a PayPal Button Dynamically
If you have a page containing a single “[wp_paypal]” shortcode button, you can dynamically change the product name and price of the button with query strings in the URL.
https://example.com/button/?wppp_name=product&wppp_amount=2.99To represent a space you can use “%20”.
https://example.com/button/?wppp_name=My%20Product&wppp_amount=2.99This can be useful when you have a separate checkout page with one button and users from other pages of your site are sent to this page to make payments for different products. If you have a form that sends users to different product pages based on the selection, you can just send them to one page by changing the parameters.
This feature is only available for Buy Now type buttons.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my PayPal payment pending?
If you have sent a PayPal payment that is pending, it’s possible the recipient hasn’t accepted it yet. This may happen if the recipient’s account is configured to review each payment that they receive. It can also happen if the payment is made in a currency that is different from the recipient’s primary currency. In that case the recipient will need to manually review the payment by either converting it to the primary currency or create a new balance in the payment currency. If recipient approves the payment once they will be able to receive payments in that currency in the future automatically.
Hey I have just addded your buy now button -I have it working and transfering through to paypal.
I wanted to added a success page after the order – so I created a hidden thankyou page on my website and added it the code.
Yet when the paypal ordere completes it redirects back to a sorry not found page with this url
https://edinburghholisticdogs.co.uk/checkout/order-received/the sort code i have entered is
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount="0.01" Return=" https://edinburghholisticdogs.co.uk/checkout/order-received/" button_image="https://edinburghholisticdogs.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Pre-Order-Now1.png"]what am I missing?
@Suzanne, I see an empty space just before the URL. Please remove it. Please also provide a link to the page where you have the button.
I am unable to find any instructions (code) in the above documentation for how to add variants (size, color, etc). Can this plugin do that and if so what are the maximum number of variants that can be added per product? Thank you.
Hi I have installed… and set up the plugin. I have added the merchant ID and the PP associated account email address. But PP says … Things don’t appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later. I still have sandbox mode enabled? These are my parameters.
[wp_paypal button="subscribe" name="Total Licensing - UK" a3="60.00" p3="1" t3="Y" src="https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-paypal/1"]There are four items in total
URL supplied
I believe this is a recurring annual subscription. Is there anything I am missing Thanks?
@Nick, The src parameter is wrong. It’s linking to a page.
What are a3, p3 and t3? I’d like to set up a subscription button with say an annual or monthly autocharge. But the doc above doesn’t tell us what a3, p3 and t3 are. Any guidelines I’m missing?
Ha, found it on Stack Overflow:
a3: Regular rate. This is the price of the subscription
p3: Regular billing cycle. This is the length of the billing cycle. The number is modified by the regular billing cycle units (t3, below)
t3: Regular billing cycle units. This is the units of the regular billing cycle (p3, above) Acceptable values are: D (days), W (weeks), M (months), Y (years)
Really worth putting in the doc above.
@ThumbOne, There is a separate documentation page for it: https://wphowto.net/how-to-create-a-paypal-subscription-button-in-wordpress-911
My PayPal account is registered in Italy. How do I make the button and plugin work internationally?
@Caterina, I’m not sure what that means. You can only accept payments from someone in Italy?
Hi, I just installed the paypal for wordpress plugin and inserted several “buy now” buttons on the website with the pricing inside the code. I don’t have a paypal business account, and would prefer if possible not to have one. Can I receive payments now just with a personal paypal account or do I have to create a business account? If I sandbox test receiving payments, do I have to create a business account?
@Tania, You don’t need a business account to accept live payments. For testing you need two sandbox accounts – one to represent a buyer and another to represent a merchant. It’s better to create a business account for the merchant because personal accounts don’t support all the PayPal features. You will also be able to reuse this account in the future to test other PayPal APIs.
Thanks very much. That’s all I need to know.
Hello,
I am interested in using this plugin for a future client. Is there a paid version? Also, just to clarify – these buttons open up a new window within PayPal’s site, is that correct? I just want to ensure that the shopping cart itself is hosted on PayPal’s server, making PCI compliance their issue.
Thanks!
Jessica
@Jessica, It’s a free plugin. The shopping cart is hosted on PayPal’s server but the product data is posted from your site.
Hi, I added buy now button but the item is to be shipped in different country the shipping price will also change. Is there a way to achieve this ?
@Sara, The plugin doesn’t really any shipping address from the customer. Can you configure country specific shipping in your PayPal account?
when integrating paypal in wordpress showing this error “Things don’t appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later”. what can I do.
Good Day, I have this shortcode added on a page :
[wp_paypal button="paynow" name="CCTSW" amount="75.00"]and it seems not working, page can be found here :https://www.stsw.org/credentialing/applications/credential-application/it says, “Please enter a correct button type” please advice. Thanks.@Jeniffer, Can you please show where it mentions the button=”paynow” parameter?
Hi,
This is the page
https://www.stsw.org/credentialing/applications/credential-application/.frontend –
https://prnt.sc/tnexq3backend –
https://prnt.sc/tneyxw@Jennifer, I mean how did you get this button=”paynow” parameter? Does it show anywhere on the site that you can use this parameter in the shortcode?
Hi,
The buttons on this page is working before. I wasn’t sure why it didn’t work after all. I change “paynow” to “buynow” and it worked. Does the “paynow” parameter no longer in effect?
https://www.stsw.org/credentialing/applications/credential-application/@Jennifer, There never was any paynow parameter.
Will the return and cancel_return page receive a status or details of the transactions
@Yves, PayPal may send some data but the plugin doesn’t process it.
Can an email address be used in place of a merchant ID? I am a sole proprietor and do not have articles of incorporation, and thus can’t get a paypal merchant account.
@Mike, you can just leave it empty.
Hi, I need to insert a “comment” field into the PayPal check-out window on my website. Any advice on how to do this?
Hello, I’m using the WP Paypal shortcode inside a contact form 7, but it stamps only the shortcode code. How can I use it inside a contact form 7?
Thanks
@Lucian, You can only insert it into a shortcode block of the post/page editor.
Hi when integrating wp-paypal into my WordPress site I get this error “Things don’t appear to be working at the moment. Please try again later”. The plugin is stuck in “enable test mode” in settings. When I un-tick this option as soon as I select “save changes” it re-ticks the enable test mode option automatically. What is causing this.
@Barry, This sounds like a caching issue.
Hi – I’m getting orders and am getting Paypal confirmation, but I’m not seeing anything added to the Orders tab in WordPress – can you advise?
@Michael, Please enable debug, reset the log file and make another test purchase so I can take a look.
Hi – my purchases are going to paypal correctly, but I’m not seeing anything in the app back end in WordPress – nothing gets added to my orders page. Can you advise?
Why do my buttons all have an odd grey box around them? Can be seen here:
https://www.hogs.org.au/joining-hogs/@ThumbOne, Something is adding class=”btn btn-default” to the button image. The plugin doesn’t do this. Is it coming from your theme?
Maybe. I’d have to work out how to check. Not familiar with WP themes.
I can see the styles are defined in:
/wp-content/themes/activetab/assets/bootstrap/css/bootstrap-theme.css?ver=3.2but I can’t see how or what is applying that style to the button.
Well I found where it happens. Did I ever mention how much I detest WordPress and will lost it as soon as I can? Anyhow its in this line of JS:
$(‘input[type=submit], input[type=image], input[type=button], input[type=reset], button’).addClass(‘btn’).addClass(‘btn-default’);
In wait for it, this included file:
Notice activetab. The theme I lost, the theme we wondered might be causinghte issue. And it’s now on anothe theme! Not active tab.
Man, how does one get WordPress to lose the activetab theming JS!?
I guess the real question is, given many other themes do similar (some are clean) and I work with a crew that seem to want ActiveTab, can code be added to this plugin to undo this, to force the button image to claslessness?
And I sort of fixed it by putting this custom code on my WordPress page:
window.addEventListener(“load”, function(){
Array.from(document.forms).forEach(
function (form, i) {
if (form.action == “https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr”)
for (let j=0; j<form.children.length; j++)
if (form.children[j].tagName == "INPUT" && form.children[j].getAttribute('type') == "image")
form.children[j].removeAttribute("class");
}
);
});
It’s clunky as something in the footer of the theme (so after my page loads) attaches those classes, so the only way I can lose them again is by attaching to an onload event, ut alas this means the page renders with shaded boxes then flicks clean!
@ThumbOne, Glad to hear that you found a workaround. However, this is not a good solution. Your theme should not dynamically add classes to buttons with JavaScript.
It’s not my theme, it’s a trashy theme clearly because it does just that! Indeed a bad move. But the others admining the site seem to like it and I tried many others and most do some odd styling to those buttons! Did I mention that I loath the bloated complexity of WordPress and would just as soon see us migrate to PicoCMS. KISS IMHO!
For BuyNow button, I specified a button image, but the standard PayPal button is displayed. The shortcode is
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="Adult Ticket" amount="20.00" no_shipping="1" undefined_quantity="1" button_image="http://nvchorale.044ef61.netsolhost.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/BuyNow-darkpurple.png" return="http://nvchorale.044ef61.netsolhost.com/thank-you-adult-ticket/" cancel_return="http://nvchorale.044ef61.netsolhost.com/thank-you-adult-ticket/"]@Margaret, I’ve made some changes to your shortcode. Please copy and paste it into a shortcode block and see what happens.
Did the change have anything to do with the quotation marks? I was looking at the code more carefully and realized that they were not all the same – some were vertical and some were slanted. I changed them all to vertical and I got the image. And when I copied your code the undefined_quantity parameter worked as well. Thank you!
Now I am using the donate button. My shortcode is
[wp_paypal button="donate" name="Bronze Level: $25-$249" target="_blank"]I get the donate button, and the PayPal window appears in a new tab, but the name does not appear. What am I doing wrong? Is it the double quotes again? I tried copying the double quote from the button type value and pasting it around the name value, but the name value still does not appear on the PayPal screen.
@Margaret, Sometimes PayPal doesn’t show the name until you log in.
Does that mean that only people with PayPal accounts will see the name? I used the guest account option, and it did not appear on the screen to collect my financial information. I suppose PayPal could be making changes, since I did get the name on the first PayPal screen (where the amount of the donation is to be entered) a few weeks ago.
Hello. I need to put “I agree to the Terms & Condition” in my checkout.
Is it possible for me to do this?
how can I make the sales tax dynamic function? my sales tax is 6% but it’s just adding 6 cents to the total rather than figuring a total amount
@Erich, Did you specify this in the shortcode or in your PayPal account?
