Hi ppl, I'm new to web design and I'm currently cheating using web page maker (sorry). Is there any way of inserting a Paypal link for receiving payments?

Thanks.

Yes - it's very simple when you know how. Log into paypal, and go to merchant services, you may have to dig around a bit, but there's a section there where you can make buy it now buttons, or even implement a shopping cart. Basically you just fill out a simple form, and paypal spits out the code for your site. Just copy and paste it in.

My only gripe with this feature is that teh code from paypal doesn't validate as XHTML, despite my best efforts.

So if any of you gurus reading this know of a way to make it validate, please visit my thread.

Cheers for that notbanksy, makes life so much better when you've got someone to ask....saves hours!
