Linking PayPal

[Guest]

I am creating a webpage for a lady to promote and sell her book. She signed up for a PayPal account, and I have put their button on the page. The only problem I have now is ...where do I link the button to? %-}

Did you look under Merchant Tools?

I turned the PayPal site upside down and shook it trying to find that info...well I may be

exaggerating a little...but I did look very thoroughly and couldn't find it.account, and I have put their button on the page. The only problem I have now is ...where do I link
the button to? %-}

It's probably going to be a special link for the account that was
established.

Does your "lady" know how to forward email to you?

| Allow me to expound a little more on my problem. First, I should say..I am
new to FrontPage and it's taking some getting used to. Second, the lady I am
doing the webpage for knows zilch about computers and can't even understand
checking her email. I helped her sign up for PayPal in my office on my
computer, but the info on how to link it was emailed to her personal email
on her computer at her home. I have tried to explain to her that I need her
to print out the email they sent her and bring it in to me, but she doesn't
comprehend what I am telling her. So I was hoping that maybe someone who had
already put PayPal on a webpage would know what url I need to link the
PayPal button to.

You can still go to the PayPal.com site and look under Merchant Tools on how to create the links. If
your client doesn't know how use her computer, how is she going to be able to process orders, etc.?

When I look under 'Merchant Tools' all I get is her user info...ie, email address, how many

orders, etc.. As for how she will handle orders when they come in..she has hired someone to do that
for her. I have confused the poor lady so much for one day that she has decided to leave PayPal off
for now and I will put it on when(if) I can find out the info for linkiing. I will do some more
research on it and if I can't find what I need, I'll just have to take a trip to her home and look
at the email myself. Thank you again for all of your assistance...
