Paxum Tutorial: Creating Buy/Pay Now Buttons

veryyyy interesting....

niceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Customers must have a Paxum in order to pay or can be in other form?

Does Paxum have a reseller program?

I'm having a long distant relationship with RuthB, she just don't know it yet.

Thanks for your interest sitesurfer!

At the moment customers must have a Paxum account in order to pay through the Paxum Buy/Pay Now/Subscribe buttons, however getting setup with a Paxum account is very easy.

We do not currently have a reseller program.

When a customer can buy recurring without having to sign up for an paxum account this could might be used as a processor for a paysite.. before that, I dont consider it as an option.

bahahahahaha stalker!!!

Thanks for your feedback biskoppen. We have thousands of clients, both personal and business, and since Paxum P2P payments are instant, and accessing the deposited funds through the Paxum Mastercard is also instant, some of our customers appreciate having the option to add us as a payment method.

When it's possible to pay without a Paxum account (as you can with Paypal's pay buttons) I would defintly build up a base of members that way

Ahhhh, I thought they could pay without a account.

Good step forward

For that they will need to process credit card first

Nice looks good.

Oh nice! I didnt know it did recurring. Got some ideas for this for sure.

Sounds like a good plan to me!

Not yet

Thanks Si, glad you're enjoying our service.

Exactly Klen

Thanks AnimeFevers!

looks good!

SAH-WEEET! Paxum is cranking it up a couple notches. I am gonna put my thinking cap on and see if I can think of a way to take advantage of this

All Paxum account holders have the option to set up Buy/Pay Now buttons, whether you have a business or personal account.


Sell goods and services online and be paid instantly through this versatile Paxum feature!

Let's begin!

Paxum Tutorial: Creating Buy/Pay Now Buttons

1. Login to your Paxum Account Control Panel

2. Go to Merchant Services >>> My Saved Buttons

3. Click 'Add New Buttons' and the form will load.

4. Fill out the form:

5. 'Button Type' - Select Buy Now for regular buttons or Subscriptions if you would like to set up a recurring subscription/payment button.

6. 'Email Address to receive payments' - From the dropdown menu, select the appropriate email address where you wish to receive payment.

7. 'Item ID' - This field is optional and provided for easier management of your inventory with your own system.

8. 'Item Name' - This is how your customers will see your Item listed when they click your Buy/Pay Now button. You may use up to 150 characters.

9. 'Price/Billing Amount' - The cost of your item.

10. 'Shipping' - Add any applicable Shipping fees here. (only displays for Buy Now option)

11. 'Tax' - If you have to add taxes to your Item insert the tax percentage (%) here. (only displays for Buy Now option)

12. 'Billing Frequency' - Select from the dropdown how often you wish to recur the payment. (only displays for Subscription option)

13. 'Continue Billing until' - There are three options here; 1) number of transfers (ie specify # transfers and then stop billing); 2) specific date; 3) user cancelled subscription. Select the appropriate one for the subscription you are selling (only displays for Subscription option)

14. 'Button Text and Appearance' - Here you can choose to use the Predefined Button we provide (Buy Now/Pay Now/Subscribe), or your own button image. Should you select your own button image then you must be able to provide a hyperlink to the URL of the button image you wish to use.

15. 'Button Custom Fields' - Here you can add additional fields to your button. Options include Text, Email, Number, Date and Time.

16. 'Button Advanced Features' - A series of Yes/No options for Quantity, Special Instructions and Shipping.

17. 'Take Customers to this URL when they Cancel their checkout' - Sometimes customers cancel just as they're about to pay. Take control of where your customers will be taken when they do by specifying a URL in this space.

18. 'Take Customers to this URL when they Finish their checkout' - Redirect your customers to the URL of your choice. This is the perfect place to display any other goods/services you may have on offer; special discounts; etc.

19. 'Advanced Variables' - Add variables to your button code such as delivering the payment information directly to your back end servers through our handy IPN (instant payment notification), and more. Feel free to customize your button.

20. That's it! You're done! Now Click 'Create Button'.

21. You will now be taken back to the Merchant Services >>> My Saved Buttons section of your Paxum Account Control Panel. You can see your freshly added button listed in the menu. You can choose to 'View Code', 'Edit', or 'Delete'.

22. Clicking 'View Code' will take you to a page where you can easily copy the HTML code for the Paxum Pay Now Button you have just created. 'Edit' allows you to make additional changes. 'Delete' removes the button from your list.

That's it! You're all set!

You can also create Buy/Pay Now buttons through dynamic HTML. You will find more information under the Developers section of the Paxum site.

nice to see how u guys are evolving positively :D

Fucking awesome, you should kill that -20$ i have in my account. It's still paying for the damn card. Then you would be super fucking awesome Paxum. In return i will take a picture with any animal holding the Paxum Card.

this is interesting

Sunday bump ...

bump bump

One more bump before bed ...

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

PLEAAAAAAAAAAASSSSEEEEEEEEee make it possible for a customer to pay WITHOUT creating a Paxum account!!! Having to 'create' e-wallet accounts is HORRIBLE for conversions... make it a straight cc-form signup and I'd love to use this

Thanks for the bumps!! I hope everyone's having a great weekend!

We don't yet have credit card processing in place I'm afraid, but we do appreciate your feedback chronig!

We do have some other news to announce pretty soon that I know many of our clients are going to appreciate. Stay tuned!!

I'm up, bump ...

Thanks for this.. I'll set this up to my site later.

Great feature

thanks Capt!

Sounds great MasterSEO!

great idea from paxum.

One more for the Paxum peeps ...

Is it possible to run an affiliate program with it? Like it's done at 2checkout for example.

Do you mean passing an affiliate code through with the purchase? You can add custom fields to the code, so possibly. Please feel free to hit me up or email me with more details of what you need, and I'll find out what we can do for you.
