I have been using Paypal for years now and would be more than happy to add this to my blog! HTML format is a great way to use it since it can be added very easily. Thank you very much!

Wow, excellent tutorial. I haven’t done and put my PayPal button yet but plan to do it in the near future.

I liked the various types of PayPal buttons available on the support PP WordPress website:)

If there’s no email code that uses plain HTML, you won’t be able to add it, I’m afraid.

This and all other advice I can find only applies to Donations. What about Buy Now buttons??? There’s no email code generated when you create a Buy Now button, only Web code so you can’t use it with WordPress.

Hey there. It allows me to access this button-making feature without a merchant account (I just have a standard account). Curious if PayPal changed its rules or if a Merchant account was never really necessary for accepting donations.

Also, whoa. I’d been trying to insert my own buttons into my page for a couple days. Didn’t realize it was so complex.

Love this – just what I need! I’d better trot off and get a merchant account now … I wonder, did the guy who complained about fuzziness actually start the vid? It only appears fuzzy before you start it because the title’s superimposed. Just a thought. Thanks for the help, it’s duly bookmarked and now I can work my way through at my leisure. Fantastic!

WordPress.tv uses VideoPress, which is an available upgrade for WordPress.com and can be used in tandem with a plugin for self-hosted WordPress.

Paypals’ bilingual/multilingual support and configuration is non existent.
They would make serious bank if they fixed that. They gotta catch up with the times and drop the xenophobia.

Thanks for the feedback and sorry to hear that didn't do it for you. How-Tos are what we do around these parts. I'd recommend putting in a feature request at the WordPress.com forums if you aren't happy with the way things work at the moment.

This isn’t a feature! It’s just a how-to on how to use PayPal.…Didn’t find it very helpful.

I much would prefer a PayPal shortcode.

By: Michael Pick

Michael Pick — Mon, 23 Feb 2009 06:40:54 +0000

Sounds feasible - I'd suggest checking out the various PayPal plugins in the plugins directory and having a scan through the forums on this topic. The combined might of the forums trumps what I know any day.

Thanks Michael. I had no idea thgere was an HD version. I do apprecuiate it’s there but still wonder why anyone would want to watch a fuzzy version… I think slow modem users would prefer a “smaller” version but hey – I do appreciate the hd button – it is much better!

Hey – do you know if yuo can do a paypal payment button and have some ind of tracking variable at the end? A sub id like clickbank has??? That would help enable tracking of keywords and such.

Thanks. We don’t have any Polish language content at the moment, but we’d certainly welcome it

I love it! Do you have some info, in polish language?

By: Michael Pick

Mike – I’d recommend pressing the HD button, that should solve the problem. By standard the videos are lower-res to cater for people with less speedy connections (and agreed, a little fuzzy – that would be FFMPEG’s work). The videos are all mastered and uploaded at 1280×720 baseline HD, and with the HD button (top right of the player) on, I can watch them full-screen on a 30″ cinema display. Let me know if that doesn’t do it for you.

Good video – sorry – BUT > why so blurry and fuzzy??? It’s hurting my eyes to try and see the detail which isn’t there… this would be GREAT if the video was SHARP like it should be.

SHARPEN the videos and you’ve got a winner… oh and I do a lot of training videos myself… I know you can reduce the size and still keep the quality high.

Just a friendly niggle :’>

We're starting to get some spanish language submissions, so stay tuned. Until then, you could check out the Spanish Codex

HI, Do you have some videos or information, in spanish language, because is more easier to me to apply with success?

This is cool. It reminds me of shareware for a donation.

Some people will pay for quality journalism or entertaining blogging. While others will get to enjoy free publications by those who “blog” for the love of it.

Since this wordpress.tv launched only recently, more complex features such as closed-captioning are not yet available. We’re working on it!
