Add Paylead to your WordPress site

Last updated October 12, 2026
  1. In Paylead, go to Settings → Developers → Embeds and click Download plugin.
  2. In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin. Choose the file you downloaded, click Install Now, then Activate.
  3. In WordPress, go to Settings → Paylead and enter your store address, the end of your store link. You can paste the whole link.
  4. Back in Paylead, open a product and click Embed. Choose how to show it, then open the WordPress tab and copy the shortcode.
  5. 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.
