Hi Mark, this sounds perfect for selling my music CD's to my followers on social media, the customer pays for the CD, enters their address and then I can post the CD to them.
So it's not really a 'button' but actually a link? I've seen other videos where there's a 'pay on social" smart button in the tools dropdown but it's not there on my paypal. Is that feature not available in australia? The videos i've seen were american so wondering if that's a feature not available here yet.
After my customer pays they are not receiving the URL link to the download in their email receipt. Everything looks fine in step 3 with a URL to the product. PayPal has been NO help resolving this.
Thanks for the video. I do have a question though. When they click my Buy Now button and are sent to Paypal, there is an option that allows them to enter the quantity they want to order. It is default to 1, but they can click the '+' button and increase the quantity. The thing is, I have a set shipping cost. This shipping cost will only accommodate up to 3 packages. After that, I would have to charge more shipping (send more than one package). Are you aware of how to modify this Buy Now button so that a limit can be put on how many packages can be selected for any one order? I'd like to limit the order to no more than 3. Hope you can help. Thanks.
Hi Mark, thank you for the video. It looks like I did everything correctly. I do have a question. My paying customers would like to add a reference name with their payment but there is no option for this. In other words, how do I know from whom or for which service the payment is? I tried going into the advanced setting but still no luck.
Thanks so much for the walk through. I want to know if there's a way I could somehow include a way for the customer to add their details (like name, company name, email address, phone, comments) during the buying/checkout process itself, so that I would be able to tie together what payment is connected to what customer (and what they need). Any guidance on how to do that??
Hey Mark, thank you for this lesson but I did that. My mistake is at the botton of the button page where my email was spelled wrong. "" use my primary email address" has a typo. How do I correct that? My customers money is pending and I can't see the transaction on that page because it pretty much doesn't exsist due to the mis typed email.
A quick answer I don’t have Ernee Peppers I’d have to sit in front of your screen to try and work it out. Have you contacted PayPal support for their help in resolving it ?
Hi Mark, Thank you for this tutorial. I have a question, how can we set up a payment that automatically changes on a certain frequency?day (i.e, from this day the price is at $20, after 2 days it will change to $40)? is this possible?
Hi there, have you or anyone else experienced where the link actually expires after a while? Paypal says it has logged me off and now I have to create a new link again but it keeps expiring, very frustrating. Any ways to extend the expiry time on the link on the button? Thanks
Hi there Mark Is it possible to automate the process where digital content (e.g. an ebook you are selling) is only emailed to the purchaser once the correct payment has been received by PayPal? In other words, how can a customer only receive the digital content via their email once they have paid the right amount for the selected product (without you having to log into PayPal to check if you've been paid and then manually have to email them)? Thanks in advance.
yes you can do that Calvin but its done using what's called a Funnel i.e Click Funnels, where as once sales offer, payment and then delivery of ebook etc is done automatically. All of the best online marketers use a funnel to delivery the product of service and all offer upsells and order bumps etc and most of us have probably gone through this process when buying things online
It used to be that you could have a button and they would click on the link and it would take them to check out instead of SIGNING IN.... when did it change?
@@markwarncken I was trying to use the SMART BUTTON feature that is new and it requires $30 monthly and you have to be approved. Of course they don't say that on their horrible web site.

Hello can i use my link store ? because iaccepte only paypal in my store but when the buyers want to pay with them bank for receive the founds on paypal them payment declined please what's the solution
@@markwarncken Perhaps I will go a bit off-topic for my personal use/questions with this comment but it might clear what I meant with my other comment Hmm yeah I think I found it, I'm just pretty new to paypal, the last 3-4 weeks of 14.12.2020 I read so much about copyrights for uploading videos to youtube/twitch, then I read much about banks & paypal & policies so I just want to set up my paypal for twitch as I am a gamer. I thought you would make another video for the "updated paypal options" but I don't think there's much you could add, the layout seems somewhat same to me, al though some "donation buttons" may be accessed from more than one place in paypal. I'm wondering what is the best option as a gamer - I read some blogs/sites that say I should set up a donation method, but considering I'm using a personal, not a business account I am wondering how to avoid hackers/trolls/haters - If it's a personal account and I use donation button apparently I cannot hide my e-mail. I think it might be against paypal policy to use "donation" just for my fans/viewers on twitch/youtube/facebook to donate to me just because they appreciate my gaming/dj music & intellectual material content. ### I am now wondering between"donation" and "buy now", I see there are some new options too but they seem to be for sites. ### Also I'm not sure that personal accounts should easily be able to accept credit cards since they're not a business account. For now I am not famous but I believe I have huge potential and in the future if I do become famous - I haven't decided to start selling merch/make contracts with some stores to produce merch yet, so I read lots of people got banned due to sudden "raise" in their money, I saw on youtube. Personal & business accounts are almost the same, but business accounts pay a bit more for transactions, though have more possibilities, however as a business account you need to provide proof to paypal once you start earning a lot of money - such as your logo/license or something like that else they might ban you like many people were banned.
And silly then for doing it for free when there are business owners willing to pay to get a specific outcome that’s usually worth 10x what they invested. I’ve found over 5+ years now free is never valued and 99% do little or nothing with free. But each to there own
@@markwarncken Yes, that's technically correct, because you did go through the motions in the PayPal portal to "create a PayPal button". But you didn't show how to accept a payment with the button you would place on your website. You used the link in the "email" tab, which is different from the button. They are two different URLs that use different HTTP actions (GET vs. POST) to initiate the purchase. I suspect that most people who want to "...Create A PayPal Button To Accepts Payments Online" (your words in your title) would want to have a button on their website to do this, not have to manually copy/paste a URL into a browser.
