In the last step above, PayPal gives you the HTML code that will display your Buy Now Button. Find in your code exactly where you want the button to go and then paste the code. Most web design applications allow for you to insert HTML code, and that's all you'll need to do.  For example, if you're using our Premium Site Builder, you can insert the HTML code using the Script Module.
