Use this Component to allow your visitors to purchase products on your site with PayPal by displaying a PayPal "buy now" button, add to and view items in their shopping cart, or make a donation.

Where to Find

This Component can be found in the "Add Content to Page" section of the Toolbar.

Adding to Website

After selecting this Component, you will be able to choose exactly where you want to add it!

You will see all available content locations it can be added to - on the current page only (content locations in Gold), on every page (content locations in Red), or on every page under the current page directory (content locations in Blue. For example - if you are editing a page called "About", the blue content locations would allow you to add this component to all pages under the /about/ directory).

Buy It Now - Allows customers to buy an item or service immediately.
