How to Get PayPal Button in WSO Copy?

Well, I finally did it. I put up my first ever WSO. The only problem is, the code from paypal just looks like that, and not like a button. I viewed it both ways with the A/A button up at the right hand corner of the screen. It still just looks like code.

I paid my money and sent it for approval, but if anyone can help me work this out, I would be very grateful. Or maybe by magic it will look like a button after it is approved? :p

Thanks for the help!

    While the forum displays HTML links it actually runs on BBcode
    of some kind. BBcode uses brackets like [ ] instead of < > and
    has a few other differences from regular HTML, usually eliminating
    the " " around links and substituting [ for < gets close to the
    desired effect.

    Your button should be an IMG linked to your destination URL:
    your paypal page.

    You must go to Paypal. Use the merchant section. Get your button and go.

      Your code inside the post should look like this:


      [center][url="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=xxxxxxx"][img]http://xxxx.com/paypal.gif[/img][/url][/center]


      I strip down the code that PayPal gives me for the button so it looks like this above -- just put your button id in the proper place. Then you'll need to store the button image you're using online somewhere so you can refer to it.

      Maybe there's a simpler way to do it, but this is what I figured out and it works, so...

      That's what I did. Apparently, it does not want to "go".

    When you create your button in Paypal, you can choose
    either web form or email.

    Get the email link and then link that to an image - that'll
    work nicely.

      I went with the email link, and it worked!!! Thanks for all the good help, I was panicking.

      I also notice this got moved to the off-topic thread, I apologize for putting it in the wrong forum.
