7. 'Item ID' - This field is optional and provided for easier management of your inventory with your own system.

9. 'Price/Billing Amount' - The cost of your item.
10. 'Shipping' - Add any applicable Shipping fees here. (only displays for Buy Now option)

18. 'Take Customers to this URL when they Finish their checkout' - Redirect your customers to the URL of your choice. This is the perfect place to display any other goods/services you may have on offer; special discounts; etc.
19. 'Advanced Variables' - Add variables to your button code such as delivering the payment information directly to your back end servers through our handy IPN (instant payment notification), and more. Feel free to customize your button.
20. That's it! You're done! Now Click 'Create Button'.
21. You will now be taken back to the Merchant Services >>> My Saved Buttons section of your Paxum Account Control Panel. You can see your freshly added button listed in the menu. You can choose to 'View Code', 'Edit', or 'Delete'.

Paxum Security: Customer Reputation

Customer Reputation allows you to be more discerning in who you send payments to through the Paxum Ewallet Payment service.

Customer Reputation is based on submitted ratings by fellow Paxum clients who have sent P2P payments over $100USD to the specific Paxum client in question.

Customer Reputation uses a numeric system 1 to 5; 5 = Very Good, 1 = Very Bad. Ratings are compiled from all submissions and an averaged rating is assigned to that customer. If no customer reputation ratings have ever been submitted then there is simply no rating for that customer.

Customer Reputation can be searched based on Paxum email address, and this can be done within Account Admin under the Security >>> Search Reputation feature.

It's easy to set the Customer Reputation level you're comfortable with. Find out more by visiting the Security section of your Paxum ewallet account.
