Use the Payment Links and Buttons settings to choose payment methods, button styles, business branding, and return URLs for checkout.

​
Before you begin

  1. Log in to your PayPal Business Account.
  2. From the left navigation, select Pay & Get Paid > Create Payment Links and Buttons or Create Shopping Cart Buttons.
  3. Select Settings.

​
Choose payment methods

Select which payment methods to appear at checkout.
  • Available options include: PayPal, Pay Later, Venmo, and Apple Pay. Credit and debit cards are enabled by default.

​
Set business identity and branding

  • Configure how your business appears during checkout.
  • Display business name.
  • Display business logo.
  • Set a homepage URL. Customers are sent here when selecting your logo or mome icon.
Business name, logo, and profile details can be updated in account settings.

​
Button layout and styles

Control how your PayPal buttons look and behave across your site. Use stacked buttons to show multiple payment options together, single buttons for a primary checkout action, and cart buttons to keep your existing shopping cart buttons consistent.
Stacked button settings apply to all existing stacked buttons on your site. Use stacked buttons to offer multiple payment options within the same checkout entry point.
  • Layout: Vertical or horizontal
  • Color: Standard PayPal color schemes only (custom colors not supported)
  • Shape: Pill or rectangle
  • Size: Small, medium, or large
Second button behavior:
  • Control what appears on the second button in the stack. The options you see depend on which payment methods are available in the buyer’s region. For example, you can show a Venmo button when available, or select None to hide the second button entirely.
Checkout button label:
  • Choose the text that appears on your checkout button. The button redirects buyers to a PayPal checkout page, where available payment methods are displayed.
  • Choose the button label: Checkout, Proceed, Pay, or Custom.
Each shopping cart button automatically generates a payment link and a QR code that you can reuse across other channels.

​
Auto-return URL

Use auto-return to send customers back to your site after checkout. The URL applies to all shopping cart transactions. Configure the auto-return URL in the Cart Buttons tab under Settings.
Note: For Payment Links and Buy Buttons, the auto-return URL is set in the Confirmation tab. This URL applies only to the transactions for that specific link or button.
