Can you Install PayPal on Wordpress Blog
This is part of the series of Submit Your Questions About Wordpress or Blogging.
One of the questions I received is How to install PayPal payment gateway on a WordPress blog to receive online payments into PayPal merchant account that one has.
Unless you are selling or promoting a product or service, you would not normally have PayPal installed on your Wordpress blog.
However, there were exceptional cases where a prominent blogger like Raja Petra of Malaysia-Today would use PayPal to collect Donations to fund Bloggers Defence. I heard so far they have collect over RM40,000+ in aid of this donation from all over the world.
Here is what Raja Petra’s PayPal logo and icon looked like on his news portal.

And after you click on the above logo, the next page looks like this. This is the page where you will enter in the Amount you wish to donate to the fund.
So let me share with you how can you can install the PayPal payment gateway logo on to your Wordpress blog.
Just sign up with PayPal and open up an account with them.
PayPal may request you to pay a small amount by charging into your valid credit card. This is to verify that the PayPal account is linked to a valid credit card holder. You may received your Verification Code from your credit card statement. Also all Malaysians can now withdraw from PayPal into your Malaysian bank account.
In PayPal, just go under Merchant Services and get a Buy Now button. You will be asked to create your own Buy Now button by filling in all the required information on the page. Thereafter, copy the encrypted HTML code for your websites.
You can add and insert the PayPal Buy Now button anywhere on your website or blog with the generated HTML code.

Hi Aman
You do not require a credit card to register with PayPal.
Just follow the instructions to register without the credit card.
However, its preferable to have PayPal verify your account with your credit card to prove autheticity.
PayPal will charge a refundable US1.95 to your credit card for verification. You are to enter a code printed in your credit card statement to verify your PayPal account.
Its a bit tedious in the beginning but they do this to protect you from fraud as well.
It is Free to register a PayPal account.
PayPal only charges a small commission per transaction for Business or Premier accounts.
