How to Add a Simple Buy Button Inside Your Blogger Article Using Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy

Complete step-by-step guide: Add a buy button to your Blogger article in 10 minutes. No coding skills required. Start selling digital products today.

You have a Blogger blog. You have a prompt pack (or any digital product) to sell. But Blogger doesn't have a built-in shopping cart. How do you accept payments? The answer is simpler than you think: use a third-party payment platform like Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy, then add a buy button or payment link to your Blogger article. This guide walks you through both options step by step – no coding skills required. By the end, you'll have a working buy button inside your Blogger post that accepts credit cards, PayPal, and more.

🎯 The core insight: Blogger doesn't process payments, but it does accept HTML, JavaScript, and links. Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy provide the payment processing – you just need to add their button or link to your blog.

Both platforms are designed for creators selling digital products. Here's how they compare:

Feature	Gumroad	Lemon Squeezy
Free to start	Yes	Yes (pay as you go)
Transaction fee	10% + $0.30	5% + $0.50

Alternative: Use a Gumroad payment link (more reliable on Blogger)

If the embed code doesn't work, use a simple text link or button that points to your Gumroad product page.

🔗 Instructions:
1. Go to your Gumroad product page.
2. Copy the product URL from your browser's address bar.
3. In your Blogger article (HTML view), add:
<a href="YOUR_GUMROAD_URL" target="_blank">Buy Now - $12</a>
4. Or create a styled button:
<button onclick="window.open('YOUR_GUMROAD_URL')">Buy Now - $12</button>

📝 HTML code for a simple Gumroad button (copy and paste):

<a href="https://yourusername.gumroad.com/l/yourproduct" target="_blank" style="display: inline-block; background-color: #2e7d64; color: white; padding: 12px 24px; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 8px; font-weight: bold;">Buy Now - $12</a>

Option 2: Lemon Squeezy (Lower Fees, Better for International)

Lemon Squeezy is a newer platform built specifically for digital products. It handles global sales tax automatically – a huge advantage for international customers [citation:5].

Step 1: Sign up for Lemon Squeezy and create your product

📝 Instructions:
1. Go to lemonsqueezy.com and sign up.
2. Navigate to "Products" → "New Product".
3. Add your product name, description, and price.
4. Upload your prompt pack file.
5. Configure delivery settings.
6. Save your product.

Step 2: Get your Lemon Squeezy checkout link

🔧 Instructions:
1. Go to "Products" and find your product.
2. Click the "Share" button next to your product [citation:2][citation:5].
3. Copy the checkout URL (it will look like: https://yourstore.lemonsqueezy.com/checkout/buy/xxxxx) [citation:5].
4. You can also toggle options like showing/hiding the product description, store logo, and discount code field [citation:2].

📌 Important: Always share the original checkout URL (with /checkout/buy/), not the cart URL that appears after someone clicks it. The cart URL is single-use and cannot be shared [citation:5].

Step 3: Add the checkout link to your Blogger article

📝 Instructions:
1. In your Blogger article, switch to HTML view.
2. Add a link to your Lemon Squeezy checkout URL:
<a href="YOUR_LEMONSQUEEZY_URL" target="_blank">Buy Now - $12</a>
3. For a more professional look, add the styled button code below.
4. Preview and publish.

📝 HTML code for a Lemon Squeezy button (copy and paste):

<a href="https://yourstore.lemonsqueezy.com/checkout/buy/xxxxx" target="_blank" style="display: inline-block; background-color: #1f6e8c; color: white; padding: 12px 24px; text-decoration: none; border-radius: 8px; font-weight: bold;">Buy Now - $12</a>

Advanced: Pre-fill customer information (Lemon Squeezy)

You can pre-fill customer email, name, and address fields in your Lemon Squeezy checkout link [citation:4]. This creates a smoother experience:

🔗 Pre-filled checkout link example:

https://yourstore.lemonsqueezy.com/checkout/buy/xxxxx?checkout[email]=customer@example.com&checkout[name]=John%20Doe

💡 Pro tip: Use pre-filled fields when you already know your customer's information (e.g., from a previous email opt-in). This saves them typing time and increases conversion.

Adding a Buy Button to Your Blogger Sidebar (Optional)

Want the buy button to appear on every page, not just one article? Add it to your Blogger sidebar or footer using a gadget [citation:1].

📝 Instructions:
1. From your Blogger dashboard, go to "Layout".
2. Click "Add a Gadget" in the sidebar area.
3. Choose "HTML/JavaScript" gadget.
4. Paste your Gumroad embed code or Lemon Squeezy button HTML.
5. Give it a title like "Buy My Prompt Pack".
6. Click "Save" and preview your site.

Troubleshooting: When Buttons Don't Appear

Sometimes Blogger blocks or modifies JavaScript embeds [citation:1]. Here's how to fix common issues:

• Problem: Gumroad embed code shows as plain text instead of a button.
  Fix: Use the text link method instead. It always works.
• Problem: Button appears but doesn't work when clicked.
  Fix: Check that your URL doesn't have extra spaces or broken characters. Test the link in a new browser tab.
• Problem: Blogger removes part of my embed code.
  Fix: Switch to a simple HTML button (the styled <a> tag method). This is more reliable on Blogger.
• Problem: The button looks different on mobile.
  Fix: Test your button's mobile appearance. Adjust padding and font size if needed.
