How do I add a PayPal payment button  in my SellFolio project?

Applicability: SellFolio 4.0 Complete only

PayPal provides the following explanation in their Answer ID 282 document, which we have modified for SellFolio use (note that you should go to the Support section of the PayPal website and check the original document, as the content might change periodically):

1. Log in to your account at https://www.paypal.com/

2. Click the 'Merchant Tools' tab.

3. Select one of the Payment Buttons under 'Key Features' in the PayPal Website Payments
   Standard section.
   - Buy Now Buttons
   - PayPal Shopping Cart
   - Subscriptions & Recurring Payments
   - Donations

4. Fill out the form with the details of your item.

5. Choose 'No' to not encrypt your payment button.

6. To specify additional details, click the 'Add More Options' button and fill out any values you may need, click 'Create Button Now'.

7. Copy and paste the email link underneath the 'For Emails' heading, for use within SellFolio.

8. Click 'Done' when finished creating buttons, or 'Create Another Button' to make additional buttons.

The link that you pasted in Step 7, above, will look something similar to:

https://www.paypal.com/cart/add=1&business=YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS&item_name=
Shopping+Cart+Button&item_number=123456&amount=0.00&shipping=0.00&shipping2=
0.00&handling=0.00&return=http://www.paypal.com&cancel_return=http://www.paypal.com

The link now needs to be pasted into SellFolio.  Go into Live Layout mode, choose Add An Object > Add Button.  Then, click that button to select it and click its Edit button. Under Actions, choose Launch Weblink In New Window and paste or type the link that was generated by PayPal.  Click Save And Return and perform a Test-Drive to see if the link works properly.
