WordPress plugin
Every Paylead embed as a WordPress shortcode. No code to copy, and Paylead only loads on pages that use it.
Install it
- Download the plugin: paylead.zip. It's also in Settings → Developers → Embeds.
- In WordPress go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, choose the zip and click Install Now, then Activate.
- Go to Settings → Paylead and enter your store address: the end of your store link, for example
amas-studioinpaylead.app/s/amas-studio. You can paste the whole link.
Then add a shortcode to any page, post or Shortcode block. The WordPress tab in any Embed window in Paylead writes the shortcode for you.
Shortcodes
| Embed | Shortcode |

| Buy button | [paylead_buy code="k3x9pa"]Buy the ebook[/paylead_buy] |

| Webinar sign-up | [paylead_webinar code="w8b2nd"] |

| Pricing table | [paylead_pricing plans="basic1,pro22" featured="pro22"] |
| Pay or donate button | [paylead_pay link="church-giving"]Give[/paylead_pay] |
| Pay or donate box | [paylead_pay_box link="church-giving" amounts="20,50,100"] |
| Product grid | [paylead_store category="courses" limit="6"] |
| Newsletter box | [paylead_newsletter heading="Get my weekly tips" ask_name] |

The product grid, newsletter and tip shortcodes use the store from Settings → Paylead. Add store="…" to use another.
Options
Every shortcode takes the same options as the embed attributes, written with underscores:
| Option | |
|---|---|
accent |
A colour like #0b2c2e. Defaults to the colour in Settings → Paylead |
scheme |
light, dark or auto |
radius |
none, small, medium, large or full |
button_text |
The button inside cards, calendars and boxes |
text |
The words on a button shortcode, if you don't put them between the tags |
class |
CSS classes for a button shortcode. Defaults to your theme's button style |
prefill_email, prefill_name, prefill_phone |
Fill in the buyer's details |
test |
Test mode for subscribe buttons and pricing tables |
Members' sites
On a membership site, add ref="user" to a Subscribe button or pricing table. Paylead gets the signed-in WordPress user as wp- plus their user ID (for example wp-42), with their email and name filled in. Check access with GET /access?ref=wp-42, or listen for webhooks.
Good to know
- Paylead's script only loads on pages with a Paylead shortcode. To use your own
data-paylead-*buttons, turn on Load on every page in Settings → Paylead. - A shortcode with a missing code shows a red notice to editors only. Visitors see nothing.
- Deleting the plugin removes its settings. Nothing else is stored in WordPress.
