# Issues adding Paypal Buttons?

 * I had issues cutting and pasting the PayPal HTML code to create “buy now” and
   add to cart buttons into my wordpress site (southernswimbait.com) to do simple
   e-commerce. WordPress distorts the HTML and the buttons don’t work right.
 * I have been reading various WP forums and work arounds for hours. None of the
   posts I read have been updated super recently. Like 2-6 years old
 * I am trying to get the latest, “here is what you need to do” to get your Paypal
   buttons working, so you can just cut and paste. ***I don’t know HTML or CSS***
   I saw and read about a PayPal Button Lite, but after watching the tutorial, it
   was like, I must be the only person on earth that cannot code. Every tool, plugin
   and move seems to require HTML skills to pull off.
 * The only work around that might work is using the URL Paypal gives you in a simple
   single item button (no options or variations) and applying the URL to an image
   of a “buy now” button. But getting a ‘buy now’ button next to an image of a product,
   without having HTML skills will become the next issue I’m afraid!!!
 * Anyway, why is adding a PayPal button so challenging and cumbersome, and what
   are the tricks a big dummy no HTML coding guy like me can muster to get a simple
   e-commerce thing going on pages and posts on my blog using PayPal?

 * It won’t get much easier than this… adding shortcodes.

 * Thank you, I looked at that plugin, watched the demo, and sorta went, shoot, 
   I don’t know a whole lot about adding shortcodes. I probably could learn how 
   to do it with some trials and errors. Just not exactly the solution I was hoping
   for, but thank you very much for the repsonse!!!
