Hi Florissa, we're happy to help! 😊

Hi Iris, yes we believe so.

@websitewiz yes! For anyone reading this it did work. In the end I didnt choose it because I saw you could not downgrade your plan and I just only need the "light" functions for a simple blog :)

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you for the kind words! 😊 We're glad you found it informative.

You're very welcome! 😊

You're very welcome! 😃

Hi Sayed, this doesn't work with Shopify as they have an integrated system for payments.

Hi Suze, it depends on whether you're currently on a free plan or on an existing premium plan. If you're on a free plan, we wouldn't recommend 2 years to start with, as you can use that as an "upgrade" method later on. If you're already on an existing premium plan and want to use the "longer period" option as an "upgrade" then 2 years would work well. We don't see any negatives if you choose 2 years to upgrade in the second option. If we've misunderstood your question, please provide some more details about your upgrade situation. Hope this helps! 😃

Hi there, this doesn't work with Shopify as they have an integrated system for payments.

Hi, it could be that PayPal is no longer offering standalone payment solutions to new accounts, such as their Smart Button, without coding it in directly, or using one of their partner applications, such as Wix, Squarespace etc. If you want to take the coding path, please check out this page on PayPal's website to get started: developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/ Otherwise, the another way to connect PayPal buttons to your website is to sign up for a paid solution as mentioned above (such as Wix, Squarespace etc.) Hope this helps!

Hi Mouna, thanks for the lovely comment. No, they're not compensating us, but we do like to help 😃 You can use standalone payment solutions from PayPal but in 2024 it would need to be coded in. If you want to take the coding path, please check out this page on PayPal's website to get started: developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/standard/ Otherwise, the easier way to connect PayPal buttons to your website is to sign up for a paid solution as you mentioned (such as Wix, Squarespace etc.) Hope this helps!

Hi Joseph, we understand. If you prefer an easier method, we suggest using a third party partner application, such as Wix, Squarespace etc. to connect your PayPal buttons to your website.

Hi, we're glad you found the video helpful! 😃 The purchase of domain name and hosting does not have to be separate. We just tend to err on the side of safety so that if one company is hacked, or goes bankrupt etc. then not all of our products, as in domain name AND hosting, are affected at the same time, causing double the hassle for us. We highly doubt such an event to happen, but we're super cautious. That's all. With regards to extending the license of your domain for 3 years total, it should be possible to purchase an additional 2 years once the first year has been credited to your account for free. However, as per our article listed below, it may be cheaper in the long run to purchase a domain name outside of Wix as their renewal fees can run higher than other providers. websitewiz.co/wix-domains-vs-namecheap-which-is-cheaper/ Hope this helps!

Hi Carol, sorry to hear that the Add to Cart button is not showing up for you. It could be that newer PayPal accounts are not being offered the same selection of buttons as earlier on. We'd suggest contacting PayPal to clarify why. paypal.com/contact

@ thanks … I did end up talking to PayPal and what you said is correct. That feature is no longer an option.

Hi Asmnuimna, thanks for your question. It is not possible to integrate PayPal payments using the method in this video on all e-commerce platforms, as part of their integrated PayPal system. The method shown in the video is for "stand-alone" buttons and not integrated solutions, like what you mentioned. As such, yes, it is not possible to change any coding if it is an integrated solution as part of a paid e-commerce plan. However, the advantage of those set ups is that you don't need to code anything. Hope this helps.

Hi BeePie, by default, Wix's blog post widget includes preset padding and margins that can not be directly adjusted through the standard editor interface. For more precise customization, including adjusting margins and padding, you can use custom CSS. "Wix Studio" allows the addition of custom CSS to your site, enabling advanced design modifications. Steps to Implement Custom CSS: *Access Wix Studio:* 1.Ensure you're using Wix Studio, as custom CSS capabilities are available within this platform. *Add Custom CSS:* 2. Navigate to the Settings or Advanced section of your Wix Studio editor. 3. Locate the option to add custom CSS. 4. Insert your CSS code to modify the margins of the blog post widget as desired. Considerations: Implementing custom CSS requires familiarity with CSS coding. If you're not comfortable with coding, consider consulting with a web developer. Hope this helps!

Hi Sameer, if you're facing technical difficulties with opening your site on other devices, we would suggest contacting Wix directly for assistance: www.wix.com/contact

Hi, integrating a coupon code feature directly into PayPal's "Add to Cart" buttons is not supported by PayPal's standard tools. To implement such functionality, you would typically need to use custom scripts or third-party shopping cart solutions that offer built-in coupon features. Hope this helps!

Hi David, no you can also use a personal PayPal account using the method shown in this video.

The reason I ask because the thing I don't like about paypal is the hold period. It could be up to 90 days or longer for paypal to release your funds and sometimes you need your money much sooner.

Hi David, we haven't tested it out with paysimple so we can't comment on it. Sorry we couldn't help more.

Hi David, no you don't have to buy a domain. But the domain that is included on the free plan is very long and not as user-friendly as a custom domain name. We explain the difference here in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIakfpmiaMZkjM0 Hope this helps!

Hi Vaibhaav, Please find below the steps for how to add a QR code to your store: *Step 1: Generate the PayPal Button* a. Log in to PayPal: Go to your PayPal account dashboard. b. Create a Button: --- Navigate to the "Pay & Get Paid" tab or go to PayPal Button Generator. --- Choose the type of button you want to create (e.g., Buy Now, Add to Cart). --- Customize the button details such as item name, price, and shipping options. --- Generate the button and copy the URL or embed code. *Step 2: Create a QR Code* a. Generate the QR Code: Use a QR code generator tool (e.g., QR Code Generator, or PayPal QR). b. Paste the URL of your PayPal button into the QR code generator. c. Customize the QR code design if needed. d. Download the QR code in a suitable format (PNG or SVG). *Step 3: Add the QR Code to Your Store* a. Log in to Your Wix Store: Open the Wix Editor for your site. b. Insert the QR Code: c. Go to the page where you want to display the QR code (e.g., product page, checkout page, or a dedicated QR code page). d. Click Add > Image > Upload Media. e. Upload the QR code image and place it where it will be visible to customers. f. Provide Instructions: Add text next to the QR code explaining how customers can use it (e.g., "Scan this QR code to complete your payment via PayPal"). *Additional Tips:* --- Test the QR Code: Ensure the QR code links to the correct PayPal button and functions as expected. --- Optimize Placement: Place the QR code in prominent areas such as near product descriptions or on the checkout page. --- Mobile-Friendly Store: Ensure your website is mobile-friendly, as most users will scan the QR code using their smartphones. --- By adding a PayPal QR code to your store, you provide an easy and seamless payment method that enhances the shopping experience. Hope this helps!

Hi Nicolas, you're welcome! No, we don't do personal sessions sorry. Unfortunately, this button doesn't work with Shopify as they have an integrated system for payments.

Hi Karseello, Unfortunately, this button doesn't work with Shopify as they have an integrated system for payments.

Hi Abinandha, thanks for your question. We suggest you contact PayPal.com/contact directly for technical support.

Hi Ran, for multiple products the PayPal "Add to Cart" button may be a better fit. We've made a video on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eV7XmYqoeLqMfNU Hope this helps!

Hi Rey, you're very welcome 😃💜

Hi Sehrish, thank you for your question! Unfortuantely, we wouldn't recommend using this method with a Shopify website as their suite of integrated payment solutions are more functional and user-friendly than these standalone PayPal buttons.

Ah, thanks for clarifying 😃 We haven't found a straight forward way to achieve this but we're looking into a solution for this and will get back to you with what we find.

Unfortunately we couldn't find a way to create a clickable button on top of the image from within the article edit mode. There are limited features available there, and we could only achieve a button below an image as you described. Sorry we couldn't help this time.

Hi Russell, thank you for the lovely comment! We're glad it helped 😃

Hi Maciej, in this video we are using the Wix Editor. But Wix also offers another design platform to build your website called Wix ADI (Artificial Design Intelligence). These two platforms look different to each other and offer different options. If you are using Wix ADI you do have the option to switch Wix Editor. To do that, simply follow the steps here: websitewiz.co/how-to-change-from-wix-adi-to-wix-editor/ Hope this helps!

Hi Kathleen, thank you so much for mentioning this. We suggest using the technique shown in the video when there's only about a month to go on your subscription for this reason. Wix does refund the remaining part of your subscription, but as prices go up, it would be better keeping as much of the subscription as possible at any old rates, as you've mentioned. Thanks again and good luck on your website journey! 😃

@@websitewiz But everytime you click on that save 50% offer, you're increasing the total cost of your subscription- instead of staying locked in to your original rate. So yes, you pay half but you pay half of a larger total price. It's a racket.

​@@CoupleScienceWorks Hi Kathleen, yes, as we show in the video, when you increase to a higher plan you get more features and that costs you more. But you still pay LESS than you would if you stayed locked into your original, lower plan, at full price. So in the end you pay less, not more. Now, if years later, you are on a plan that is higher in cost at 50%, than your original plan at 100%, then as we mentioned in the video, you can choose to downgrade your plan back to the original one, if you're not now using the features of the higher plan. Hope this helps!

Hi Rocky, thank you for your suggestions. If you have pasted the code into your web page and the button is not showing up, that could mean there is an error in the code. We suggest starting again from the beginning and go through step by step to make sure the code is correct. Even adding an extra period, or comma etc. will break the coding so that the button won't work. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much Philani! 😃

Hi Sonika, thanks for your question. It's not easy to set up a redirection for this particular button. The 'Smart' button requires coding to make that work. So, the easiest way to do this would be to use another button. One that includes a redirection option as part of setting up the button in the first place. You can do this easily using PayPal's 'Buy Now' or 'Add to Cart' buttons. These buttons include a field for a redirection page as part of set up. These buttons are located on the same page as the ‘Smart’ button of your PayPal account, as shown in the video. Please note, if you use the 'Add to Cart' button, there is also a ‘View Cart’ button, which you would place in the header of your site too, which allows your customer to view their shopping cart while they’re shopping. Make sure to include this on your site too. We've created a video on the 'Add to Cart' button which you can check out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eV7XmYqoeLqMfNU This is the easiest way we have found to redirect a customer to another page after purchase. We hope this helps!

Hi Pixie, thanks for your question! We've made a video to help show you how to do this. You can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ2WY5l7jLt0qrc If you have any other questions, feel free to leave us a comment. Hope this helps!

Hi Ariyana, please see post to answer your question here: websitewiz.co/how-to-create-a-venmo-button/ Hope this helps!

Hi Brian, thank you for your feedback! We understand that PayPal has recently updated their design and options, which can be quite confusing. In the meantime, here are a few key updates to help you navigate the new PayPal interface: *Updated Navigation:* PayPal has reorganized some of their menu options. You can find the button creation options under "Tools" > "All Tools" > "PayPal Buttons". *Shipping Calculator:* The shipping settings can be accessed via "Account Settings" > "Shipping" under "Products and Services". *Button Customization:* When creating or editing buttons, make sure to use the updated form fields, including the weight parameter for shipping calculations. This is our only video on this subject of 'Add to Cart' buttons, and unfortunately we are not planning on creating an update in the near future. For more detailed instructions in the meantime, you can check PayPal's official help page and their community forums: www.paypal-community.com/t5/PayPal-Community/ct-p/en. Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks for your question. To add the 'Pay with Card' button on your PayPal Business account's payment page, especially when using it with a booking system like Bokun, follow these steps: *1. Check PayPal Account Settings* · Log in to your PayPal Business account. · Go to 'Account Settings' or 'Profile Settings'. · Under 'Website payments', ensure that the 'PayPal Account Optional' is enabled. This option allows guests to pay with a credit or debit card without having to create a PayPal account. *2. Ensure Your PayPal Integration is Correct* · Verify that your integration with Bokun is set up to support both PayPal and card payments. This often involves checking the API settings or the integration configuration in Bokun. · Bokun should have a setting where you can specify payment methods, including allowing card payments via PayPal. *3. Customize PayPal Checkout Experience* · Log in to your PayPal account and navigate to 'PayPal Buttons'. · Choose the button type you need (like 'Buy Now' or 'Pay Now'). · Customize the button to ensure that the 'Debit or Credit Card' option is available for guests who don’t have a PayPal account. *4. Check Country Restrictions* · Ensure there are no country-specific restrictions that might be hiding the card payment option. PayPal sometimes restricts certain features based on the user's country. *5. Contact Bokun Support* · If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Bokun's support team. They can provide guidance specific to their system and ensure that your PayPal integration is configured correctly to display the card payment option. *6. Update Your Website* · Ensure your website’s payment page reflects the changes. Sometimes, the issue might be related to the caching of old settings. Clear your cache or update the settings in your CMS (Content Management System) or website builder. *STEP BY STEP GUIDE* *1. Enable Guest Checkout in PayPal* · Log into your PayPal Business account. · Go to 'Account Settings'. · Under 'Payment Preferences', ensure that 'PayPal Account Optional' is turned on. *2. Verify PayPal Integration with Bokun* · Log in to your Bokun account. · Navigate to 'Sales tools' and then to 'Payment Gateways'. · Ensure that your PayPal integration is properly configured to accept credit card payments. · If there is an option to enable or disable certain payment methods, make sure that credit card payments are enabled. *3. Create or Update Your PayPal Button* · In your PayPal account, go to 'Tools' and then 'All Tools'. · Select 'PayPal Buttons' and create a new button. · During the setup process, ensure that the button is configured to accept credit card payments. · Copy the HTML code provided by PayPal and update your Bokun payment page with this code. *4. Test the Payment Page* · After making these changes, test your payment page using an incognito window or a different browser. · Verify that the 'Pay with Card' option appears and functions correctly. *5. Contact Support* · If the issue persists, contact PayPal support to ensure there are no account-specific issues. · Contact Bokun support for assistance with integrating PayPal correctly on their platform. Hope this helps!

Hi Mohammad, the currency you set is up to you. If you don't specify a currency, PayPal will use the default currency of your PayPal account. Hope this helps!

@@websitewiz my store currency is GBP and it changes according to customers location from where they will purchase so i should keep it GBP or USD only as paypal deals with USD.

Hi Mohammad, thanks for your question. *Disclaimer* We do not know enough about your business to give you specific advice. As such, we can only give you general information and this comment does not contain business or financial advice. The information is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. This comment and its materials are not intended to be used as a substitute for advice from your professional or licensed business or financial representative. Always seek the advice of your own licensed business or financial adviser or other qualified business or financial provider for any advice you need regarding any business or financial matters. If the conversion fees are significant and you have a global customer base, moving to USD might make sense. Otherwise, staying with GBP could be more beneficial if most of your customers are UK-based. *1. Keep Store Currency in GBP* *Pros:* - Consistency for UK-based customers. - Easier accounting if your business is UK-based. - No conversion fees for transactions made in GBP. *Cons:* - International customers may see fluctuating prices due to conversion rates. - PayPal may charge conversion fees when converting GBP to USD during the transaction processing. *2. Switch Store Currency to USD:* *Pros:* - Aligns directly with PayPal’s preferred currency, potentially reducing conversion fees. - Simplifies the pricing structure for international customers. *Cons:* - UK customers will see prices in USD, which might be less convenient. - Potential confusion or dissatisfaction among local customers due to currency differences. *Evaluate Your Customer Base:* If the majority of your customers are from the UK, keeping GBP might be more customer-friendly. If you have a significant international customer base, switching to USD might reduce transaction costs. *PayPal Fees:* Check PayPal's fee structure for currency conversion and consider how significant these fees are for your business. *Customer Experience:* Think about what provides the best experience for your customers. Consistency and simplicity often lead to higher satisfaction. *Conclusion* Balance the ease of transactions (aligning with PayPal's USD preference) against the customer convenience of seeing prices in their local or familiar currency. If the conversion fees are significant and you have a global customer base, moving to USD might make sense. Otherwise, staying with GBP could be more beneficial if most of your customers are UK-based. Hope this helps!

Hi, thanks very much for the feedback. This video has already been edited at the current volume but we'll keep it in mind for future videos 😃

Hi Nguyen, the free Wix domain (not custom domain) lasts as long as you have an account with them. It's basically 'free forever'. No, you won't get a custom domain name as part of a free account. If you want a customised domain name this is renewed every 1-, 2-, or 3- years, depending on your preference. If you choose a premium paid plan, a custom domain is included for the first year free of charge, if you choose a yearly premium plan. Hope this helps!

Hi Tibor, yes, PayPal buttons in sandbox mode work the same way as they do in live mode, but without real deposits and withdrawals. The PayPal Sandbox is a testing environment that is similar to the live PayPal production environment. If you create a "Add to Cart" button in sandbox mode, users can click the button, go through the PayPal login and payment process, and see a confirmation of the payment. However, since it’s in sandbox mode, no actual funds are transferred between accounts. Once you have thoroughly tested your PayPal integration in sandbox mode and are confident that it works correctly, you can switch to live mode. Simply replace the sandbox API credentials with live API credentials, and your same PayPal button will start processing real transactions. Hope this helps!

@@websitewiz Thank you so much for answering this, I even posted this question twice on the PayPal developer forum and nobody answered it after even a week. It was the only thing keeping our online store to be open. Thank you very much again!

You're welcome Tibor. Best of luck with your website!

Hi Elizabeth, thanks for your question! We found this Wix tutorial showing how to edit blog post layouts, including the blog title, but unfortunately it didn't work for us. We tried it on an old Wix site, as well as a freshly installed site, as Wix changed their available settings in Nov 2023. But the 'Change Presets' function did not appear for us, which is necessary to changing the layout. Please let us know if you have more luck with it. support.wix.com/en/article/wix-blog-customizing-your-blog-post-page#customizing-the-elements-displayed-on-the-page

Hi Raju, thank you for commenting. Unfortunately, we don't understand your question. Could you please rephrase it? Thank you.

Hi Ali, it is now called "Pay Links and Buttons" and is in the same location as shown in the video. Alternatively, you can access it directly from here: www.paypal.com/buttons/ Hope this helps!

Hi Samuel, sorry we don't know what you mean exactly by "fix"? Repair or fix in place? Could you please let us know.

Hi Maria, it comes from here: www.wix.com/promo-code/coupons

Hi Mademoiselle Authentique, thanks for your feedback. We're so glad you found the video helpful 💜 With regards to drop shipping, we wouldn't recommend using standalone PayPal buttons as the functionality to integrate with the process of drop shipping is inadequate. If your customer pays using this button, it will not automatically notify the manufacturer / shipper to send the product. This would need to be managed manually. For drop shipping we would recommend integrating with a dynamic, fully integrated and functional PayPal (or other) shopping cart for that type of website. Using these buttons would cost more time and effort than you would save in the long run. Hope this helps and we wish you lots of success with your drop shipping business!

Hi Maria, to create a return fee button, simply follow the steps in the video to create an additional button. PayPal has changed the look and feel of their buttons pages since we made this video. They now call the Smart button: No-Code Checkout button. But the basic functionality and steps are still the same. You can create multiple versions of this button, and access them all from this page: www.paypal.com/buttons/saved Hope this helps!
