 So thanks Beth for asking how I set up my PayPal buttons and I'm going to go and share my screen and show you all here. So I've logged into my PayPal account. Obviously, when you log in it'll look something similar to this and then click on pay at the top, and then pay and get paid and then click on PayPal buttons down here on the bottom left. Now, you could do that or what I usually do is I just directly go to PayPal.com slash buttons that works too. Yeah, once you log in. And then once I'm in here, I usually just go and click on view save buttons and then duplicate one but I'll just show you from from scratch how I create them. Now, I've, I've tried the smart, so called smart new buttons smart subscribe and I maybe I'm just old school I didn't like them because they seem more complicated to set up. So I still use the buy now button for a single purchase. So like an online course, if I'm selling it, or I use the subscribe button for a sub you know an ongoing payment like your master hard or something like that. I'll show you the buy now button I click on it to start creating it. And then. So, let me just make the screen a little bigger here item name, you know, XYZ online course with George cow price. By the way, when I, when I do pre launch price, you know, my pre launch price usually $90 at this point. I'll just name it pre launch. So when the sales come in, it'll it'll have that name. I'll have that in the name of the product. And then when I'm ready for launch again I'll come into my safe buttons and I'll edit the price on this one to be 120. It's the same same code, same link. It's just when they go there after the pre launch is over they see a different price. So anyway, so I basically ignore these things. I used to go fancy and do options 123 but it just, you know, I prefer to have separate buttons now if I'm going to do different options rather than using these so I ignore those. I, I just ignore everything here I ignore these because I'll tell you why later so you can you can. You could choose if it's if it's going to be embedded on your website you could choose to display the credit card logos or not. I think by default it's displaying the credit card logos which I think is a good idea anyway because people can see oh it takes credit card. So the use smaller button means just a little slightly smaller. It's kind of, and you can actually select a button so you can say pay now or buy now. I wish they had more options but those are the only two options. Oh, I'm sorry there is a third option use your own button image so you could find or design some button that says, you know, pay with love. Something like that. And then with your heart. And then use that button when they click on it it'll it'll still go into the PayPal so that's that's kind of a neat neat feature. But again I usually use the display credit card logos. And then I skip the shipping I skip the tax, I guess, maybe in certain locations that's needed for sales tax collection. So, some of you can can do that. I use my secure secure merchant account ID you know I never really understood this I just always choose this. I guess maybe my secure merchant account ID is my email address you can actually tell me when you buy something for me next time. What it says that on the top left, but that's what it that's what it says on the top left it'll say you know George cow ink or whatever whatever it is I don't I forget, or you could use your primary email address that's that's up to you. I skip step two, except I do save the button, save the button just means I can go back and edit the button later which is very useful. So I definitely recommend keeping that checked. I don't do this inventory profit loss thing. And then step three, what I do is I, I don't like customers change quantities because well unless for some reason you need to but again that's complicated the checkout process. The key is the simpler your checkout process, the more likely people check out and like get to the end of the checkout process. So please keep everything simple everyone. I do I click no don't let customers add special instructions to me if they want to contact me don't contact me. I don't need their shipping address okay this is also very important guys. I do not need shipping address. So what if I want to send them a nice card at some point, do collect the shipping address collect their mailing address some other way don't do it during the checkout process it complicates things. Okay, no no shipping address. Alright, and then finally, this is optional to say take customers when they cancel their checkout. Sometimes they do. And I think I might have a cancel page I don't remember but I usually leave that alone. And then, but I do this is important. Because customers when they finish checkout. This is important because I have a separate thank you page on my website hidden. I have a separate hidden thank you page for every course that that people buy. This allows me to track the conversions with Facebook pixel with Google Analytics, any any other analytics I want. Like Beth if you buy a course, you land after you check out through PayPal you land on a certain page. And it says hey thanks so much for buying you know this course you know check your check your check your, you know, check your PayPal. Let me let me see I can show you a current a current thank you page that I have. Basically, it says check your email for, you know, I sent the course access to your PayPal email email address. Okay, see if I can find this recent one here. Yeah, this one. Okay. So yeah, so thank you the info has been sent to your email address associated with a PayPal account. Anyway, you can pause the recording if you want to copy and paste this, or, and then I embed a Google form for the intake to kind of ask him hey as you as you hear about me helps my marketing tons, you know, also helps my affiliate program tons by knowing how they heard all my heard from my friend Beth. Oh great. Thank you. And then I do the affiliate credit you know. Okay, and then. So that's the, that's the thank you page a checkout page. Thank you. Finish checkout page. And then I click create button so let me go ahead and try this now. Click create button. Oh I didn't, I didn't put a link in. Oh, I guess it went through anyway that's that's surprising. Okay, so this is really important also there are two tabs people often don't realize this, the email tab if you click on the email tab it gives you a link that you can send to people on email direct messaging put put on a website just just a link it's a link you know you can literally I'm going to I'm going to paste the link in the chat below. That's the link you can send someone in any way you want and that link goes to, and I will show you on an incognito screen, because I can't be logged into my own PayPal account. And then I go to that link. So if I go to that link, right if I just copy and paste that link into the browser, it will, it will go to, you know, pay with PayPal $90. I really wish they gave us the product name here, but they don't. I know it's kind of a bummer. And sorry, I just shrunk my screen so this is usually what it looks like. So it kind of starts with, you know, people have to put in their email address or they can click on pay with debit or credit card anyway. It's not the most pleasant checkout experience I mean it's not the most clear checkout experience but guess what, it's built me a six for your business, it's worked for me for, you know, 12 plus years so everyone knows PayPal, I don't think anyone's anyone's complaining about the fact that there's no product name. I'm not sure it turns off a few people maybe but anyway whatever I'm, that's, yeah, that's, that's, that's fine for me. So that's the email, that's the email tab get you the link. The website tab get you the code that you simply copy and paste you just click the code once and then, or click select code, then then do the copy on your keyboard by doing command C keyboard shortcut or on Windows it's control C, and that copies it. You go to your website and you paste the paste the link, you paste the, the code in as an HTML code and then it shows up. Yeah, any questions about about this from any of you. Yeah. Yeah, the, the, the taking the customer to the URL is what I was having trouble with. And I had worked out this whole funny little thing for people to be able to stay on my page and get a password and then be taken to Oh, they could they can open up my course page. But I knew that wasn't what you were doing. No, yeah. And so what George is doing is much more elegant. I wanted to point out that you can customize this this buyer's view if you go back one. Okay, sorry. Sorry. It looks like you could mess with the code. I'm going to go to I'm going to show you so what I usually do PayPal.com slash buttons. I usually go to view save buttons because I've created so many buttons, like once you create several and by the way that subscribe button I should show you all here. The subscribe button is a similar idea, except that here it's like master heart, you know master heart 222. And then billing amount each cycle, you know $150 a month. How many cycles after how many cycles should it be stopped 12 cycles, because it's a 12 month program, 12 payments basically so that's the, that's all you do for subscriptions. And if you want to offer trial period, you can you can do that here. I don't usually do that but that's an option. You can even offer a second trial period it's really weird. Anyway, it's pretty cool. I have never tried that before but after that everything else is the same you know thank you page I don't need their shipping address. Send them to a thank you page and it's like that but you were saying advanced variables is that what you were talking about. Yeah, I actually haven't looked into this so you're right, you can get fancy with this I. I just I'm sure there's cool stuff you can do with PayPal but just to add the name of the product. Oh, you can. Did you. I'm guessing that you can. I would want to play around. Yeah, maybe the place that you could do it. But I think people should be listening and they should do what you're saying. Yeah, they should make it more user friendly. I mean literally you could see that this interface is like from the 90s. I mean, this, this is this is a really old school PayPal buttons are so old school. But, but, but you know I said earlier that I haven't really, I haven't really given an honest try to the new buttons to the new the new smart buy button sell on social smart subscribe you know smart buttons. This is probably, you know item description, you know, I think I tried it once and I got really confused like, for example, I can't get a single link. That's why I was confused. I'm like, I want to copy code. I want to just get a single link to email somebody. How do I do that. I can't. This is what I was using the smart button, and it's not as customized. It's not as smart as I like it to be. It's not as smart. Yeah, it's, it's not smart. So that's that's done down. Right. So the buy now button and the subscribe buttons are the only ones I use. So like I said, if I if I already created a button in the past I just want to create another button similar to the ones that created before. I click on, you know, I go to PayPal.com slash buttons login. I click on views, save buttons. And then once I go to. Sorry, your last action can be completed. Okay, this is, this is weird. Doesn't usually happen this way. Let me let me go. Let me go through the direct channel so I make sure I'm logged in the PayPal. Okay, I click on pay slash get paid. Whoops, and then click on PayPal buttons down here. And click on the, I have to wait for this developer bar to show up. It's really weird. It like it sometimes takes a few seconds and once that shows up, I click on view your save buttons. And then, wow, that's something going on something weird. Something really weird is happening. I think it's because you started something when we were talking. You started something. Yeah, yeah, so I think I might have, I might, I might need to log out. Let me log out again. Let me log back in. So this is, this is good practice for so that everyone knows that this kind of stuff does happen. Sometimes logging out and back in is needed. So let me try this one more time here. Okay. Okay, we use safe buttons. Hopefully it works this time. It's, it's a cookie issue. There we go. It works this time. So once you get to the safe buttons, you can click on the drop down menu on the left to send see more information. So for example, you know, oh, I can see all the information here but let's say I was zoomed in more. Let's still can see all. Sometimes my product names are so long I have to click on this to see more info but certainly if you click on the drop down on the left to show you the price. You can see when it was created. And then you can click on the action button next to each one and click view code, basically get the code again or to view the link. That's what you code means get the link or view the website code. You can also create similar button. So if I click on create similar button. It populates everything. Except now I can edit it as a new button. So it's like instead of XYZ other ABC online course blah blah blah and everything's the same so that's why you got to go to step three and make sure you edit, edit the checkout URL to be different, because a different product now, and then click on create button and everything else the same. Any other questions about PayPal buttons. Good. Angie George just about the payment I do a early bird. Yes, and I never thought of just calling it early bird rate so when people look at the page I thought they should see the full price and then read to find out that there's a lower price because I was afraid someone would come back the next day and see that the price had gone up. What do you usually do like do you ever post the original and then because we are doing this complicated thing where we put a coupon in the description and oh wow your phone in and get the early bird rate. Yeah. So for example, here's what I would do. Here's what I do. I'm showing you a sales page draft so I can show you the place where I'm hoping I. Yeah, see, so at the bottom I say everything included for $100 pre launch until November 20th enroll for 1975, and the PayPal button goes to the course purchase page but at the point before November 23rd when they go there the price is 75. After November 23rd, I changed I added the PayPal buttons to the prices 100. That's all I do. And then I take out the word pre launch from the product name. Okay. Yeah. Oh my gosh that seems so much easier. Yeah, and then, and then in my in my Facebook post when I make a text only post also to sell the thing. I also say hey regular price after November 23rd 300 free launch rate is available now see this is the email link email quote unquote email link. It's the link I put it on on Facebook and people just I can sell with a PayPal button on Facebook or anywhere else. Just using the link. Wow. Well, thank you. You're welcome. Yeah, thanks.
