I do not want a "shopping cart" on my site. I just need to embed the code as I have done on my previous sites when I did not use Website X5. Why isn't it possible to just embed a Psimple bit of code into the website that links to PayPal? It seems if you want to create a website, it should have that function. I can't use the software if I cannot embed the code.

You can use the HTML-Object to insert code.

I tried that. It inserted the code but would not link to PayPal.
Can this be seen online?
Can you show the code here?

As a test I entered the code in an html object, uploaded it and it worked. Here is the result:

I don't know why it will not work for me. I enter the code using the HTML-Object. It appears on mu page but when I click the PayPal button, it goew to the PayPal site and I get the message that says " Something is not right.. That page does not exist." We can’t find a page with the url you entered.

Maybe I have to post the site to my host server to see if this works.
It's true that if you haven't already uploaded the page to the web, it won't work.

I tried that and the problem is solved. Thanks so much for your help. I think if you get any more queries like mine, it might save some headaches just to mention how we solved my problem. You were a big help and ended my frustration. Have a nice day.
