Configuring the Buy Now Button
On the first tab (Step 1), most of the information required is optional, and aside from Product Name and Price, the rest can be left as is. The only other thing to choose is the button style and this is a matter of preference.The second tab (Step 2) may be bypassed completely, but take a look just to familiarize yourself with it.
The third tab (Step 3) has only one field to complete and that is the URL of where you want your customer to be sent once payment has been completed. Just be careful here, it is the second grey box at the bottom of the screen, NOT the first one.
Go ahead now and click "Create Button" and you will be taken to the code screen.
