Add Paylead to your WordPress site
Last updated October 12, 2026
- In Paylead, go to Settings → Developers → Embeds and click Download plugin.
- In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin. Choose the file you downloaded, click Install Now, then Activate.
- In WordPress, go to Settings → Paylead and enter your store address, the end of your store link. You can paste the whole link.
- Back in Paylead, open a product and click Embed. Choose how to show it, then open the WordPress tab and copy the shortcode.
- In WordPress, add a Shortcode block to your page, paste the shortcode and update the page.
Buyers pay with mobile money or card without leaving your site.
Shortcodes you'll use most
- A Buy button:
[paylead_buy code="k3x9pa"]Buy now[/paylead_buy] - A booking calendar:
[paylead_booking code="k3x9pa"] - Your products in a grid:
[paylead_store] - A donation box:
[paylead_pay_box link="church-giving" amounts="20,50,100"] - A floating Support me button:
[paylead_tip floating="yes"]
Settings → Paylead in WordPress lists every shortcode. To change colours for all of them at once, set Colour there.
The plugin only loads Paylead on pages that use a shortcode, so the rest of your site stays fast.
