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.

  1. Hello — After trying several PayPal plugins, I’ve settled on this one, the best. Know that I’m mediocre with code so what I’m asking might not be possible.

    I test ordered several items. They show up in All Orders as Purchase numbers. When I click on the Purchase number, the Array has the information in it (except for state). What I would like to see is a set of the shipping address information at the top of the Array like this:

    John Doe
    1000 Main Street
    Phoenix, AZ 85000

    I can pick it out from the array code (except for State ?), and it’s in the email notification, But, if I delete the email by accident before fulfilling the order it would be nice to go to the Purchase in All Orders and see the complete address at the top of the Code Page in the above format.

    I’ll use this great plugin and get the shipping information from the email notification but the above would be a nice addition.

    Thanks

      • Hi Noor —

        Thanks for the reply.l

        Well, I know it can’t go in the “All Orders” purchase numbers page. There isn’t room. But when the order the clicked and the Array is shown, I would like to see the complete address on top of the Array without having to search through the Array values.

        John Doe
        1000 Main Street
        Phoenix, AZ 85000

        Array
        (
        [mc_gross] => 0.25
        [protection_eligibility] => Eligible
        and so forth

        I would do it but I don’t know quite enough coding.

        P.S. — Don’t consider this a bribe, but I wouldn’t mind donating $10. This is a great plugin, just what I’ve been looking for after testing PayPal plugins for a week.

          • Noor —

            I would like to extract the values from the array and “print” them above the Array code. I just realized, that is code and nothing would be printed there. Not sure where it would show up, Maybe with a click on Purchase number? All I want is a neat shipping address without having to pick through the Array values. As I said, maybe with a click on Purchase number a window could pop up with

            John Doe
            1000 Main Street
            Phoenix, AZ 85000

            If this is ridiculously complicated or difficult, don’t waste your time with it. But, question. How do others who use this plugin get the shipping address? Just from the notification email?

            Thanks, again

          • @Michael, I’ve just released an update with this feature. Please update the plugin and see how it goes.

          • Wow! You’re a genius. That’s perfect. Exactly what I wanted. Much appreciated!

  2. Hi Noor.

    For some reason, I cannot comment directly as a reply to your message to me here (#7156)…

    Anyway, the only thing that is related to a language in my PayPal account is choosing the language in which I want to work on my account, as a regular user. I see nothing there that related to the encoding of working with their payment options, and so on.

    Can you direct to the exact place in the account settings where I can set this, as you suggest here?…

    Thanks.

  3. Prior to the latest update I was able to customize the Paypal button to “Pay Now” and had the ability to leave the amount as “” allowing the buyer the ability to put in a custom amount. Since the update I can no longer do this. Solutions?

  6. Noor, Help, please! I did not create this WordPress site but have been learning and trying to manage it for the past year. We have only now tried to go back to accepting payments via the PayPal Plugin, but it does not recognize our PayPal account login.

    • Just curious. You know that the seller can’t buy things on PayPal using his own email, right? You might do this would be for testing purposes, to buy one of your products to see if process works. What I did was to set up a second gmail account and a second PayPal account to log into. All PayPal looks at is your email. The name, address, PW can be identical to the original account.

      When you test, if that’s what you’re attempting, sign into your new gmail (I made up one my orignal name and “alt” at the end.

      Thought this might help.

    • Don’t try to login to the sandbox site with your “real” account. You need to use the test business accounts on your “settings” and then when you are sent to the sandbox PayPal site you need to use the test personal accounts to complete the transaction.

  10. Hi Noor,

    Just wanted to do a follow up with you regarding our issue. Using the Buy It Now Extension Plug -in did in-fact take care of our issue. It works great. If I could just offer two suggestions….. 1.) Make a Pay Now button and it would be really great if there was some sort of comment section that the buyer could state what they are paying for. The plug-in is great though and I appreciate your time in developing it! Thank you!!

    Reply
    • @Henry, What do you mean by Pay Now buttons? Do you want to change the button image? If you leave the item name parameter empty (name=””) it should show a description box on the payment page.

      Reply
      • Hi Noon, Sorry for the late reply! Anyway I did the name=”” and that worked great. Regarding the “Pay Now” button, in our case it would make more sense for the button to say “Pay Now” other than “Buy Now”. Just a wording change. Understand that I am not being critical of your plug in. I tried a few of them and trust me this one is by far the most efficient! Thanks again for your time, consideration and responses.

          • Hi Noor,

            It’s too much complicated. I though you Paypal methods was easy steps to integrate on the WordPress website.

  17. I have paypal on my site and it is working fine except for the fact that I can’t seem to add it to “payment method” on the account page. In this account page the customer can choose a preferred method of payment. I have stripe in there but can’t add paypal to this area. Can you help?

    • @Terri, I’m not sure what you mean. This plugin doesn’t offer Stripe. It only supports PayPal and works independently.

      • No I didn’t say it doesn’t offer stripe, I am saying that I have stripe on the account page but cannot load paypal to this page.

  18. Hi there, can this plugin show different shipping fee options? For example we have different shipping fee for UK, US, and Europe. Is that possible?

    • @Leslie, The plugin doesn’t collect the shipping address from the customer. So it won’t know what shipping to charge. Is it possible to set up country specific shipping fees in your PayPal account?

  19. I was so looking forward to using this. But I need the “Custom Buy Now Amount” feature. However, when I leave the amount blank, I get “Amount cannot be empty.”

    • @Dean, This can only be done with the extension that you will find at the bottom of the page.

      • Ah! Thank you. I’m so used to scrolling past ads, I didn’t see it! Bought it.

  20. Hi Noor. Unfortunately if I understand this correctly, this plugin requires us to put our email in, rather than our business ID. PayPal suggests the business ID rather than email, so that our email isn’t spammed. As it is, this plugin would allow spiders to scrape our email addresses for spam. Hope you make an update, because otherwise this is great!

    • @Jerry, You can now enter your PayPal Merchant ID in the settings. Please update the plugin and let me know how it goes.
