Stripe, Advent offer to buy PayPal for more than $53B

For better or worse, PayPal is the only service that works for my business, and it has worked flawlessly for upwards of 2 decades. I casually look for alternatives to PP once every couple of years.

My business ships a physical product, and has a completely passive web page. It's about as bland as boring as it gets. My page has a "buy" button with a link to PayPal. Then you complete your transaction within PP's site. That way, I don't need to maintain a server anywhere, write any code, or be responsible for handling your private information.

I can never seem to find this API when I look for it. What's the feature you're using called? Thanks in advance.

It's something like "My Buttons." You create buttons within PP, and it gives you a chunk of HTML that you paste into your web page.
