account admin attempts available button buttons buy buyers cart checkouts chef code edit email field file help instant offer options payment paypal price pro problem product products profile save selected selling settings standard thank-you website

Hi there noobi here, When I click the "get button code" only the "add to cart" and "view cart" buttons code is provided, the buy it now field is empty.

Am I doing something wrong.

Buy it now is not available if you are using certain features - like variants/varations, or variable pricing.

Thanks Chef,

I have resolved this.

For some reason my Paypal email would not save, after 3 attempts it worked and all is ok now.

having the same problem here -- no buy now code. i'm selling an individual zip file with no variants or any other features selected... why can't I use buy now?

If the Buy Now button-code tab is grayed-out and not clickable, that means you have product settings that cannot work with Buy Now instant checkouts.

If you can click it but no code is presented under that tab, that means you do not have any payment account specified to receive payments, such as a PayPal email in Admin > Edit Profile. If you have a PayPal email entered there, go into Admin > Payment Preferences and make sure you have checked either PayPal Standard or PayPal Website Payments Pro (if you are not sure which one you have, you almost certainly have Standard).

THANK YOU Tyson, problem solved instantly with your help. Thanks

So because I offer a product in 5 sizes (for the same price) I can't have a buy now button?

That is correct; Buy Now buttons cannot work for products that use Variants/Variations to offer buyers a selection of product options such as size, color, etc.
