What's up with that paypal button? Funny you ask, let's dive in and see what the Google Sites team has been up to this time ;)

Whether you’re an artist or record label, or somewhere in between, chances are you’ve thought about selling something on your official website.

You may have looked into setting up e-commerce with Shopify or Wordpress, but for one reason or another, you threw in the towel. And yet, the question still remains: “Shouldn’t there be a simple way to sell this awesome thing I made?”

Depending on what you’re selling, the answer is “YES!”

When clients come to us and say there’s “just a few albums” they want to sell, we agree that there is an easier way: Meet PayPal buttons.

This feature has actually been around for a good long while, and we’ve found it to be a great solution for situations where:

1. the product truly is “simple” (there’s one version, there’s one price, etc.)

2. buyers are okay with users paying via PayPal

What Is The User’s Experience With PayPal Buttons?

With PayPal’s prolific and solid reputation as an online merchant, many consumers are very comfortable with using PayPal to make their purchases.

The general user experience becomes:

→ The user is on your website and they click “Buy Now.”

→ → They’re taken to the PayPal website to complete their purchase.

→ → → They’re taken back to your website. Usually a "thank you page" with a link to download files.

How to create a PayPal Button?
