Instructions
1. Add this code to your WordPress theme's functions.php file.
2. Use shortcode [paypal value="XXXXXXXXXX"] -- after replacing PayPal's unique "hosted button ID" for the X's -- in a post on WordPress and see the full PayPal form code on the published page.
3. Test your own button to ensure your hosted button ID is routing to your PayPal item.
Code
function get_paypal($atts) {
// default parameters
extract(shortcode_atts( array('value' => ''), $atts));
if ($value) {
$get_paypal = <<<EOD
