PayPal with Warrior Forum By Now Question Please

14 replies
Hi Warriors: (Update after attempting to follow instructions from the replies)

Hope the day went well.

Mine was great excluding being on hold with PayPal for 28 minutes and being disconnected, then called back and they told me they couldn't help me with the question because it isn't something they recommend.

As little as I know about the tech side of computers even I can create a Buy Now Button for my websites and have it go right to a PayPal Page that shows my email, name, the item, cost, and the ability for the customer to type a message.

I noticed that many Warriors use the same cool feature when they have a Special Offer or Classified. When I tried to play around with this it did not work. What I mean is not to make the post show a link (which I can do) but to show a PayPal button as a Warrior did on one of the recent posts. Please see this:

I am sorry for my stupidity but can you tell me how could I get the Buy Now button to work on the Warrior Forum, my blog, article sites, etc. so it does what is talked about above.

Thank you for your time!

      Hi Jason:

      Hope all is well. I will try that (I hadn't) in the Warrior Test Forum later.

      I will post how it turned out. Thank you so much!

    Craig, I've asked this here before and never did get an answer. I have a WSO running at the moment and I've put a hyperlink through to the PayPal button on my blog but it would be much better if I had it on the WSO. Let's hope someone can explain it to us.

      Hi I Write The Words:

      Best of luck on your current Warrior Offer. I have the same situation as you. I can't figure out how to get the PayPal button to be active and act as the link to the PayPal Page. I can do it on websites and can use what they call "email text" to create a link but it looks so much more professional for the customer to see the PayPal emblem.

      If you ever get the info please let me know and I will do the same.

      Have a great Tuesday!

    I just worked it out. I got a PayPal button image from this site . I put the image on the page by linking to the URL. I then clicked on the PayPal button image and linked to it with the code I got from the button-maker at PayPal - the one under "email" not "website". It starts with https://

    Click on my signature for the WSO and you'll see it.

      Hi I Write The Words:

      Thanks for info. I am sorry (I have no tech ability) I am not following. I see the Warrior Offer you have (Good luck) and the site with the buttons.

      Thanks!

    Yes Metronicity has explained. ill do it again for with a differrent view.

    Save any image of the buy button you want and then when you create your post, insert that image there. Then click on that image and then click on the insert link button from the post editor and then add the link of your Paypal email buy button link there.

    Its that simple, check my WSO to see it work if you may.

    Just so you know... You can upload custom images to use as a PayPal button... It's kind of hidden.

    Here's the instructions and a screen capture to show you were it is:

    1 - Click on Merchant Services
    2 - Buy Now (Under create button)
    3 - Click on Customized appearance
    4 - select Use own button image (circled below)




    Then upload the image to your website folder and put the URL location of the image in the PayPal form (circled above)...

      Hi Mike:

      Thanks for your help and kindness.

      The reason I was so intent to get the right info (thank you) is I believe a Warrior Offer/Classified looks better if you have the PayPal emblem rather than give a link.

      Have a fantastic Tuesday,
