    If I understand correctly, it works for all purchases where PayPal is the only accepted payment type?

    In other words, if I have a credit card, I don’t need to register with PayPal at all to purchase item where PayPal is the only payment method?

    Thanks for the clarification!

    I think your explanation does not work. To date it does not seems possible to pay in such way and the tool MANUAL PAYMENT DOES NOT SEEM TO EXIST ON PAYPAL…could u please help me find out how to do it?

    Hi Ema,

    There is no manual payment button on PayPal. That manual payment button in the video is on MY website. This video shows you how to pay for something that is being sold on a website that accepts PayPal payments. You do not get sent to PayPal.com to finalize the payment until AFTER you have clicked on the manual “Buy Now” button on the website from which you are purchasing the item.

    hi ian, when i am testing out my paypal donation button, i get exactly everything as you have on your video, except at the very bottom after you fill in your name and credit card info it then asks you to create and confirm a paypal password, in effect forcing you to create a paypal account.

    i have been trying to get this to work just as you have said but i have no idea why they are asking for this extra step … it turns off a few people from donating. anyway, you can check it out on my site http://seventhlifepath.com/numerology-personality-reading/ …. it’s the “buy me a coffee” link … : )

    thanks for any assistance

    Hi Seven,

    I’m not sure what you’re doing, as I can’t replicate your problem, but I just made a blog post on how to do it. Go here:
