## Button layout and styles [#button-layout-and-styles]

Control how your PayPal buttons look and behave across your site. Use stacked buttons to show multiple payment options together, single buttons for a primary checkout action, and cart buttons to keep your existing shopping cart buttons consistent.

#### Stacked buttons

Stacked button settings apply to all existing stacked buttons on your site. Use stacked buttons to offer multiple payment options within the same checkout entry point.

* **Layout**: Vertical or horizontal
* **Color**: Standard PayPal color schemes only (custom colors not supported)
* **Shape**: Pill or rectangle
* **Size**: Small, medium, or large

Second button behavior:

* Control what appears on the second button in the stack. The options you see depend on which payment methods are available in the buyer's region. For example, you can show a Venmo button when available, or select **None** to hide the second button entirely.

Checkout button label:

* Choose the text that appears on your checkout button. The button redirects buyers to a PayPal checkout page, where available payment methods are displayed.
* Choose the button label: **Checkout**, **Proceed**, **Pay**, or **Custom**.

#### Single button

Changes to single buttons apply only to new buttons that you create. Use a single button when you want a single primary option for customers to select.

* **Shape**: Pill or rectangle
* **Size**: Small, medium, or large
* **Color**: Standard PayPal colors or customize the button color

#### Cart button

Changes to cart buttons apply to all existing shopping cart buttons you have already added to your website. Configure how cart buttons look:

* **Shape**: Pill or rectangle
* **Size**: Small, medium, or large
* **Color**: Standard PayPal colors or customize the button color

Each shopping cart button automatically generates a payment link and a QR code that you can reuse across other channels.

## Auto-return URL [#auto-return-url]

Use auto-return to send customers back to your site after checkout. The URL applies to all shopping cart transactions. Configure the auto-return URL in the **Cart Buttons** tab under **Settings**.

**Note**: For Payment Links and Buy Buttons, the auto-return URL is set in the **Confirmation** tab. This URL applies only to the transactions for that specific link or button.
