Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a PayPal button to a WordPress post using the code editor.

Quick summary

Adding a PayPal button to a WordPress post requires switching to the Code editor and pasting the PayPal embed code directly into your post. This method works without any plugin and lets you publish a donation or payment button in minutes.


Steps

  1. Log in to your WordPress admin area and navigate to Posts.
  2. Click Add New Post to create a new post.
  3. Click the ellipsis icon in the post editor to access additional settings.
  4. Select Code editor to switch from the visual editor to HTML view.
  5. Add a title to your PayPal button post.
  6. Paste the PayPal button code into the empty code field.
  7. Click Publish to make your post live — your PayPal button will now appear in the published post.

📌 Why this matters

Adding a PayPal button directly to a WordPress post gives site owners a fast, plugin-free way to accept payments or donations from readers. By using the WordPress Code editor to embed a PayPal HTML snippet, you retain full control over button placement without relying on third-party plugins. This approach is ideal for bloggers, creators, and small business owners who want to monetize their WordPress site quickly. It also ensures the payment button loads reliably and integrates seamlessly with any WordPress theme.
