In order to use PayPal generated buttons, you must have a PayPal Business Account.
Instead of using a custom PayPal button, you can choose to use the FASO built-in feature, Variants, for adding multiple choice items to a product.
NOTE: This feature is in Beta.
See this FAQ:
Artwork Variants
NOTE: if you only want to add 2 choices, click here to see the FASO feature for Only Need 2 Choices section at the bottom of this document. |
Set Up your Button in Paypal
- login to PayPal
- select Pay & Get Paid
- select Create Payment Links and Buttons
- select Payment buttons button
- select Single Button (on right)

- add Name and description
- add main price
- select Buy Now option
- click Show More Options
- toggle Variants on
- add Variant name: such as Frame Options
- check box for Add price per variant.
- add Option name and Price
- example:

- example:

- example:
Metal frame $200 - click Build It button (upper right)
- Copy BOTH Part 1 and Part 2 codes
Part 1 code example:
<script
src="https://www.paypal.com/sdk/js?client-id=BAAMzjYa7rLgbhcZGea0S3JKxIjLpvlyxSAuJUj83Cisi3FENwxNw72TlifgvFvVuMDTTMdR-H0pk1pEx0&components=hosted-buttons&enable-funding=venmo¤cy=USD">
</script>
Part 2 code example:
<div id="paypal-container-6Q5D45LZ6FSBA"></div>
<script>
paypal.HostedButtons({
hostedButtonId: "6Q5D45LZ6FSBA",
}).render("#paypal-container-6Q5D45LZ6FSBA")
</script>
Add Button Codes to FASO
- from FASO control panel
- go to the item where you want the multiple choice button to show
- Click Edit Content (description box) for the image
- Click the Source Code icon in tool bar, < >

- Paste in the top code
- BELOW other source code, paste in Part 2 code.
- Click OK
- SAVE and Exit

You will NOT see the Buy Now button on this screen. You need to go to your website to view this button.
In the future, when adding content to this description box add it before this code or towards middle of the description box. Since you cannot visual see the button in the text box screen if you add content on top of it, you will delete this PayPal button.

Key Points
Under Item name add the name of the individual work of art. (This field changes for each button created for each piece of artwork.)
Clicking Customize text or appearance allows you to use a smaller button, change language or user your own button image.
You can add shipping fees to your overall item fee (which is entered above in price).
Skip Step 2, if you do not need PayPal to track inventory.
Step 3 offers more advance features, such as adding special instructions such as 'Email address for jpeg', or to select Yes for your customer's shipping address.
Add the address of your FASO Works page (usually yourdomainname.com/works) in the next two blocks so that once the buyer checks out of PayPal, they are taken back to your website.
Add the Button Code to the Image
After you copy the PayPal code for your button, paste the code to your FASO artwork.
You can first add descriptive text about each image if you want, and a blurb like 'To purchase this image, click on Add to Cart for options.'
- Log into FASO control panel
- Click Artwork icon

- Find your image
- Click on the thumbnail image (left column) or the word edit (right column)
- Scroll down to Description text box area
- click on HTML (top edge of text box)
- Paste your PayPal code (CTRL/V) where you want button to appear
- Click Update
- Click Save Changes
Only Need 2 Choices?
If you only want to add 2 choices (two Add to Cart buttons), make your life easier by using the Unframed and Framed artwork settings.
See this FAQ for full details:
Show Options for Framed or Unframed Art
Simply edit the Price Display Note and Framed Price Display Note in the Show Advanced_Commerce_Settings section like in this example:
