In the general settings area, you will need to configure some options related to your PayPal merchant account.
The settings area shows options for both PayPal Checkout and PayPal Payments Standard payment methods.
PayPal Checkout Settings
These settings apply to the “[wp_paypal_checkout]” shortcode. It uses PayPal Checkout payment method to add smart payment buttons to your website. To use PayPal Checkout, REST API credentials are required. To Generate REST API credentials for the sandbox and live environments:

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=2.99To 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.
Great Plug-In! When I try to override the “subscribe” button it won’t seem to use my image override, just the default.
I’m not sure if that’s a bug, perhaps an incentive to upgrade, or (typical) user error on my part here. The image I’m trying does work with other button types.
Thanks for your time!
@Jim, Please provide a link to the page in question so I can take a look.
Hi!
I was just building a separate test page to send you, and of course in so doing the symptom went away. But I think I see how/why it happened. I had the src=”1″ in the wrong position within the block of code. It was at the end, after my filepath and success/cancel page definitions, but moving it back in the order looks like it’s fixed things.
Thanks for your time and quick reply!
I am having the same issue, but it fixes when you refresh the page
https://hoskinsfitness.com/programsthe chosen button then shows
same problem with the open in new page option, only works when you refresh the page
doesn’t affect buy it now buttons
I have tried in Avada & Astra Themes, same issue
here’s my code:
[wp_paypal button="subscribe" name="Weight Loss Coaching & Training" amount="69.00" recurrence="1" period="M" src="1" button_image="https://hoskinsfitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/btn_signupnow-1.png" target="_blank"]Thanks for what seems to be a great plugin.
I just installed it on a page ins sandbox mode.
The button that shows on the page is labeled “UNDEFINED” instead of the name of my product.
Here is the code that the plugin generated:
Hi there,
Thanks for the awesome plugin.
Could you please resolve the button alignment issue. By default, the subscribe button is showing on the left side, but I need to show this at the center align. How can I achieve that?
Thanks in advance.
Hello. Are you responding to comments? I’m sent one in but haven’t heard back. I have a US organization that is using it for subscriptions, but they are unable to have people outside the US subscribe. When someone outside the US tries to subscribe, they get a message saying that shipping outside the US isn’t possible. But we’re not shipping anything. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!
@Lorie, What shortcode are you using? Do you have any shipping related options configured in your PayPal account?
Here’s the shortcode:
[wp_paypal button="subscribe" name="My product" amount="25.00" recurrence="1" period="M" src="1"]It’s not my paypal account and I’ve advised that it must be on that end. It’s happening with the PayPal option and the credit card option. Thanks,Lorie
@Lorie. Thanks. I just used the exact shortcode on my development site. It’s working fine and PayPal is not showing any error. In fact, the shortcode is not passing any shipping related parameter to PayPal. So the error that you are getting must have something to do with your account.
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="My product" amount=""]is not working@Rahul, Amount cannot be left empty unless it’s a donate button. Alternatively, you can try the extension which allows you to do so with a buy button.
Hi Noor! Thanks for this plugin!!
How can I receive the array with the response data? I am programming a theme and would need to know the result of the paypal transaction. Thanks again!!
Or, as a solution, it would be enough to be able to send a custom tnx_id to Paypal and keep it.
@David, You can listen to this action hook that gets triggered after a PayPal notification is processed in the plugin.
do_action('wp_paypal_ipn_processed', $ipn_response);I tried with this in my page code (and in functions.php), but nothing:
function wp_paypal_callback( $ipn_response ) {
echo "I'M HERE!";
print_r($ipn_response);
}
add_action( 'wp_paypal_ipn_processed', 'wp_paypal_callback', 10, 1 );
@David, This happens in the backend after receiving IPN from PayPal. With echo or print_r statement you won’t really know if the code was executed.
ok, thanks.
Hi again Noor,
Is it possible to make payments to other users with this add-on?
@David, What do you mean by other users?
This should work on a mobile device viewing the site also, correct? We have installed on our site but when someone tries to purchase using a mobile device it will open separate window and make them log into Paypal. It doesn’t do that on a desktop.
@Kelly, This is fully controlled by PayPal.
Hi, I am trying to setup a cart with several items but on testing it only adds one item to the cart.
Below is the shortcode I am adding but after adding the first product to the cart and then pressing “Continue Shopping” and then adding the second item to the cart the first item is removed leaving only the second item hence the cart will only ever show one item and not multiple items!!!
[wp_paypal button="cart" name="My product" amount="1.00"][wp_paypal button="cart" name="My product2" amount="2.00"]Regards
Martin
UPDATE FROM MY PREVIOUS COMMENT MAY 10th**
I have tried again this morning and today it will allow me to add multiple items to the cart.
HOWEVER… I want to add a FIXED handling fee to the order [say £10] for no matter how many items a customer orders but when I add the below shortcode it adds £10 to EVERY items that goes in the basket.
Please can you advise what I am doing wrong?
[wp_paypal button="cart" name="Red Hat Small" amount="15.00" handling="10.00"][wp_paypal button="cart" name="Red Hat Large" amount="15.00" handling="10.00"]Regards
Martin
@Martin, This setup is not going to work since the cart functionality is fully controlled by PayPal.
@Martin, This setup is not going to work since the cart functionality is fully controlled by PayPal. You can try using it with a buy button instead.
Hi, Thanks for your reply. The buy button is not an option as this will only allow my customer to purchase a single item? I need customers to purchase multiple items but with just one delivery cost.
Regards
Martin
Using the basic subscription code:
[wp_paypal button="subscribe" name="My product" amount="1.00" recurrence="1" period="M" src="1"]opens a new window to the Paypal home page (I have sandbox turned off).Also, using my own image doesn’t work. My image is ignored and the Paypal subscription is used instead. This is the custom code I use:
[wp_paypal button="subscribe" name="Services" amount="100.00" recurrence="1" period="M" src="1" button_image="http://mysite.com/images/myimage.png" no_shipping="1" return="http://mywebsite.com/thank-you" cancel_return="http://example.com/payment-canceled"]Hi,
When I pay I don’t see the order in the Orders list.
How can you manage to display the orders ?
Thanks
@Jerome, Do you have the debug option enabled in the settings? If not please enable debug and make a test purchase to see if PayPal is sending notification to the plugin.
Hello
I just enabled the debug option and then made a payment, but nothing appears in the debug log
Please advise
Regards
@Jerome, That means the plugin did not receive any notification from PayPal. Do you have IPN enabled in your PayPal account?
Hi there,
I am using the following short code and it is working, except for the return function; all I am getting is the transaction complete page with no redirect to the quiz.
[wp_paypal button=”buynow” name=”NHS Charities Together” amount=”5.00″ currency=”GBP” return=”https://coronapubquiz.uk/quiz-2/”]
@Ben, Do you have auto return enabled in your PayPal account?
Hi.
Everything is working fine with the button I just implemented in my page, except for the fact that it goes to the “sandbox” mode of PayPal.
Why is that and how do I turn this off??
Thanks
@Kobi, Do you have it enabled in the plugin settings?
Hi @Noor, thanks very much for this awesome plugin. I’ve tried more than a few others and this one is the best.
One question. I can’t seem to get the *require* shipping address to work. Is it because we’re using the donate button?
The thing is that we are asking for donations, but we’re shipping a product to them as a gift for a donation (which we don’t want to dictate since many people cannot afford the “suggested donation,” while others can afford more). Is there a workaround for this? I already tried the “buynow” route, but of course that one forces the exact price.
PayPal does include a checkbox after they input their “billing” address that says: “check if you would like to share your address with [our nonprofit],” but if the donors neglect to check it, we won’t have an address to ship the product to. If you have a solution, I would be very grateful. Below is the shortcode and where it’s located:
https://hopedr.org/als/[wp_paypal button="donate" name="ALS Victory Package" amount="39.00" no_shipping="2" button_image="https://hopedr.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Secure-Donate-Button-Hope-Doctor185.png" target="_blank"]@Jack, I have just released an update to support this parameter in the donate button.
Unfortunately, I updated the plugin, but it is still not working (i.e. requiring a shipping address). We recently received a $45 donation, but we’re going to have to return it because the donor neglected to share their shipping address (we sent her an email, but she’s not responding and we dare not wait for her to complain and incur the wrath of PayPal).
Is it possible that REQUIRING a shipping address is NOT possible with a “donate” button?
Thanks again for your awesome plugin, and kind support!
@Jack, I just checked your donate button. The plugin is now passing this parameter to PayPal. So the only explanation is that PayPal ignores this parameter for a donate button.
I need a “Pay Your Bill” button – is this possible? – it would behave like a “Donate” button where you could enter an amount to pay. Having an optional “Invoice Number” field would also be helpful.
Thank you
Hi.
When I set the product name in Hebrew, it shows in Jibbrish inside PayPal.
As I am sure that PayPal support non-Latin text in this (and obviously they have the entire system available in Hebrew, among other languages), I suspect this is coming from the plugin.
How can I resolve this issue?
Thanks.
@Kobi, What shortcode are you using? Please provide a link to the page where you have the shortcode.
Hi Noor.
Thanks for your reply!
This is the shortcode I am using in this case:
https://www.shehair.co.il/straightener[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="Professional Hair Straightener" email="hairprofix@gmail.com" amount="550" currency="ILS" no_shipping="2" undefined_quantity="1" button_image="https://www.shehair.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/pp_btn_heb.png" return="https://www.shehair.co.il/order-thank-you/?src=straightener" cancel_return="https://www.shehair.co.il/straightener/?src=payment-canceled-straightener"]
Everything is working fine, except for the fact that if I change the product name under the “name” attribute here to something in Hebrew, it will show up in Jibbrish on PayPal’s payment page…
@Kobi, Thank you. Can you please provide the shortcode with the Hebrew name so I can test it on my site?
Hi Noor.
I cannot seem to be able to see more chained comments beyond this one (7002)…
I have already replied on it right after I got it from you, but can’t even see my own reply (and maybe you already replied back, and I can’t see that either).
Can you contact me in another way, so I can get your replies and info, and also check why I can’t see any more replies, as mentioned??…
Thank you.
Hi Noor.
Thanks for your reply!
This is the shortcode I am using in this case:
[wp_paypal button="buynow" name="מחליק שיער מקצועי" email="hairprofix@gmail.com" amount="550" currency="ILS" no_shipping="2" undefined_quantity="1" button_image="https://www.shehair.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/pp_btn_heb.png" return="https://www.shehair.co.il/order-thank-you/?src=straightener" cancel_return="https://www.shehair.co.il/straightener/?src=payment-canceled-straightener"]
Everything is working fine, except for the fact that if I change the product name under the “name” attribute here to something in Hebrew (like in this example above), it will show up in Gibberish on PayPal’s payment page…
@Kobi, According to PayPal the Default is based on the language encoding settings in your account profile. So if it’s set to UTF-8 in your account, you shouldn’t be having this issue. Can you please check your account to see if what they are saying is valid?
Hi,
