PayPal Button Generator: Take a Payment Without Building a Checkout
For a single product or a single donation, a pasted button beats a whole checkout system. This generator writes the button for you.
What is the PayPal Button Generator?
Selling one item or taking one donation does not need a full checkout build, and a PayPal button snippet is often enough to start. This generator takes a button type, an amount, and a currency, plus the PayPal email that should receive the payment, and writes a small form snippet to paste into a page. It is a snippet for your site, not a live payment on this page, so no money moves here.
How to use it
- Choose the button type you need.
- Enter the amount and currency.
- Enter the PayPal email that receives the payment.
- Click Generate Button and paste the snippet into your page.
Worked example
Generating a Buy Now button for 25 USD gives a PayPal form snippet with that amount and currency.
How do I make a simple PayPal Buy Now button?
Build a form posting to PayPal with the button command, the receiver email, the amount, and the currency code, then paste it into your page.
Frequently asked questions
Does clicking the button here take a payment?
No. This page only writes the snippet. A payment happens only after the snippet is pasted on a site and a visitor clicks it there.
What is the difference between the button types?
Buy Now goes straight to payment, Donate opens a donation flow, and Add to Cart adds the item to a PayPal cart first.
