How to use Custom PayPal Buttons for Sizes, Colors, Etc.
Our provided PayPal e-commerce elements enable you to create basic product lists for your online store. You can show a picture and description of an item and provide visitors with a price and button to purchase that item. Very straight forward.
But what if you need to get a little fancier and include a drop-down menu for different sizes or colors (or anything else)? Then you should build your Add-to-Cart buttons using PayPal's simple button generator and add the buttons to your site via our Custom HTML Element.

Note that you do not need (and should not) use our own provided e-commerce elements in conjunction with PayPal generated buttons. You should instead create a description of each item using our Paragraph w/ Picture element and then line each description one up with the appropriate Custom HTML Button.
