Security
The primary objective of this plugin is to provide a way to use PayPal Standard buttons in a secure way.
Other similar PayPal button plugins will allow you to create a button and display on a page, however, these buttons are not protected in any way. This allows potential fraudsters to obtain the HTML code that makes up the PayPal button, change the values (ie. item price, shipping amount, etc.) and then submit a payment using those bogus values.
PayPal WP Button Manager is a more advanced solution which utilizes the PayPal Button Manager API to generate buttons as opposed to basic HTML, which gives you the option to create PayPal Hosted buttons. These buttons and all of their details are saved in your PayPal account which keeps them safe from prying eyes. The only thing one could see when viewing the HTML for a PayPal Hosted button is the button ID, and this is worthless to a potential fraudster.
User Friendly Interface
We have essentially replicated the PayPal Button Manager experience you see in your PayPal account, however, we have tightly integrated it into the WordPress admin panel. This allows you to create and your PayPal buttons without ever leaving your site.
Options for Button Usage
After creating your PayPal button you will have multiple options for how to place it in various pages, posts, emails, etc.
First, the Visual Editor in WordPress provides a Shortcodes menu with all of the buttons you have created available for point and click placement. The actual shortcode values themselves are made available as well so you can simply type them out or copy/paste if you prefer.
You will also have access to the entire HTML snippet that is returned by the PayPal Button Manager API as well as a basic URL link that could be used in emails, social network posts, graphical links, etc.
With numerous options for placement of buttons, you will not have any problems using them wherever you would like.
Localization
The PayPal Express Checkout buttons and checkout pages will translate based off your WordPress language setting by default. The rest of the plugin was also developed with localization in mind and is ready for translation.
