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.

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"]

Tax Rate

“tax_rate” parameter can be added to the shortcode to specify a tax rate for an item. For example:

[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=2.99

To represent a space you can use “%20”.

https://example.com/button/?wppp_name=My%20Product&wppp_amount=2.99

This 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.

  4. Great plugin! Woocommerce was so complicated that I nearly gave up, till I came across your plugin. Hope the updates will continue for many days to come!

    A question. I was fiddling with sandbox, and added return="http://example.com/thank-you" after the amount. However, the link was not reflected in the paypal sandbox payment success page.
    1) Will it only be reflected in the actual payment page, and not the sandbox testing page?
    2) If yes, can I add a text such as my website name with the address embed, instead of the link "http://example.com/thank-you"?

    Thank you for your attention!

    Reply
    • @YC, The return URL is the page where the customer will be redirected to after a successful payment. I’m not sure how PayPal shows it on their payment page. Please provide a link to the page and the shortcode you are using so I can take a look.

      • Hi, sorry for the late reply. Turns out it was a cache issue. Also, just to clarify, Upon checking out, does the seller and buyer receive email notifications from Paypal regarding the transaction? Thanks again!

  5. Hello, great plugin, thank you. Everything works well except when I try to customize the button. I have it just like you have described button_image=”my url” but it still shows your default button.

    Here is the short code I’m using (with generic wording for personal details)

    [wp_paypal button=”buynow” name=”product” amount=”1.00″ tax=”1.00″ currency=”CAD” button_image-“http://myurl.com/paypalbutton.png” return=”http://myurl.com/thank_you” cancel_return=”http://myurl.com/cancel” target=”_blank”]

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    Also, even though I have it set to CAD in the settings, I still had to add the currency to the short code because it kept coming up as USD. That I have no problem with but thought you should know.

    • @Anne, Did you copy and paste it into a shortcode block? Please make sure to check whether there are some hidden characters in it.

    • The snippet that you posted has a dash instead of an equals sign.

      Reply
      • Hey there – I must be missing something. Surely there’s a callback or something so that a user can automatically respond to an IPN message? For a product that provides payment for digital downloads (i.e. instant gratification), having to wait on manual acceptance of an order doesn’t make any sense at all. What am I missing?

        Reply
        • There are some hooks, if you look in the code you will see that two actions are available at the end of processing the IPN:

          https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/wp-paypal/trunk/paypal-ipn.php#L138

          138 do_action('wp_paypal_order_processed', $post_id);

  10. I want to add a PayPal button to allow members to pay their $20 dues online rather than send checks. I used the Subscription short code and changed “My Product” to “Membership Dues”, amount to “20.00” and period to “Y”. I got a PayPal message saying something had gone wrong. I reversed the changes and added back each in turn. I found the amount was the problem so how do I get the amount to show $20.00 instead of $1.00, or should I be using a different button?

  17. Is there a way to adjust the size of the image used within the shortcode so that the button image is retina ready? Right now, my button is blurry. I would like to upload an image that is twice the size and use image size 50% to make it not blurry.

  18. Hi Noor,

    Excellent Plugin – many thanks! However after paying through Credit Cards the orders do not show in the admin panel. Turned on the debugger but it doesn’t show any logs. I am using sandbox account. Please assist.

    Thanks.

    • @Shreyash, Do you have IPN (Instant Payment Notification) enabled in your PayPal account?

      • @Noor, Many thanks for the reply. Fixed – it was conflicting with other payment plugin. However, in the orders we cannot see the Mobile Number entered by the customer.

        • @Shreyash, Glad to hear that it’s working. The plugin can only display the information returned by PayPal.

        • If you are collecting the mobile number in your front end form, try passing it in the request’s ‘custom’ field and PayPayl will send it back in the IPN. Hope that helps.

          • Thanks Andy and Noor.

  19. Hi! I’m using the custom button image option and it’s not stable. It keeps flipping back to the stock button upon refresh and/or clearing cache. Any idea what the problem is? Thanks

    • @Bill, What shortcode are you using? Please provide a link to the page in question so I can take a look.

      • Yes! Thanks for getting back to me. I really hope this plugin will work for me.

        shortcode:

        [wp_paypal button="donate" button_image="https://www.organicdrumloops.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/paypal-button-5-copy.png"]

        page:

        https://www.organicdrumloops.com/aa-paypal-test/

        *it’s finicky, you may need to refresh multiple times to see what I’m talking about. It’ll alternate between your default donate button and my custom donate button.

        Thanks!

        • @Bill, I have seen this issue on a few sites. I don’t know why this happens because there is no JavaScript error. It may have something to do with caching. I have just released a new version with a possible fix. Please update the plugin and see how it goes.

          • Yes!! I believe that fixed it. Thank you! One more thing: how can I center align the button?

  20. Awesome! Is there a way I can change the size of the button?

    • @rida, Do you mean the size of the custom button?
