PayPal Payment Buttons

PayPal Payment Buttons lets you accept payments on your WordPress site using PayPal’s Pay Links & Buttons API. Create professional, PayPal-branded Buy Now buttons without leaving the block editor.

Key Features:

• API-driven button creation — Fill in product name, price, and currency; the plugin creates a PayPal payment link automatically
• PayPal-branded buttons — Gold PayPal button with optional Debit/Credit Card secondary button, matching PayPal’s official design
• Live preview — See exactly how your button will look before publishing — the frontend renders identically to the editor preview
• 26 currencies supported — USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, and 22 more with proper currency symbol formatting
• Stacked or single layout — Choose between a two-button stack (PayPal + Debit/Credit) or PayPal-only button
• Secure credential storage — OAuth credentials are encrypted at rest using XSalsa20-Poly1305 authenticated encryption (libsodium)
• Backward compatible — Existing paste-code buttons continue to work unchanged
