If you added PayPal buttons to your website before about March 17, 2017, you used an older tool that typed your PayPal details into the button itself. Since then, ArtSites has had the Shop, which keeps those details in one place. The two work side by side, so you can move over when you choose.
How the old buttons differ
- An old button carries its own PayPal email address, price and wording, saved in the text of the page or work where you put it. Changing your PayPal address on the Shop page does not change it. If your PayPal address has changed, edit each old button or replace it.
- Everything else on the Shop page, such as the currency, the pricing options and the button style, applies only to the new buttons.
- You do not have to replace every old button at once. Set up the Shop, then replace old buttons when you next edit the page or work they are on.
What replaces them
The Shop has three parts:
- The Shop page, with your currency, pricing options and PayPal address, for the whole website. Set Up Your Website for Shopping shows how.
- Works for sale, with a price on each work in your galleries. Configure a Work for Sale shows how.
- Purchase buttons in page text, for anything else you sell. Add a Purchase Button to a Page shows how.
To replace an old button, open the page or work it is in, remove the old button from the text, and then set the work's price in Availability or add a purchase button to the page, and save.
