Paypal Button widget

Last Update: January 14, 2024

Elementor’s Paypal Button widget enables you to collect payments of any kind. Sell a single product like an E-book, create a fundraiser campaign, or sell a subscription-based service and seamlessly collect your fees.


Content

In addition to adding your content manually, many of the options of this widget also use Dynamic Tags. These tags allow you to retrieve WordPress data, or from plugin sources such as Advanced Custom Fields, or WooCommerce products. Items that have the ability to use dynamic data will have the “stack” icon beside the fields input.
