ou
don't need a MasterCard,
Visa, etc. merchant account
to add e-commerce to your
web site! PayPal, a
third-party e-commerce
system made popular by eBay,
can be used to collect
donations, registration
fees, payments for products,
etc.
You will need to set
up a PayPal Business account
(it's free to do this). Once
this is complete, we'll need
access to it in order to get
the html button codes (you
may change your password
afterwards). We then insert
the PayPal code in desired
locations within the web
site. When someone makes a
purchase or donation, you
receive notification via
email. You then log into
your PayPal account to see
details of the transaction
and transfer the funds (less
the small transaction fee)
to your bank account.
PayPal provides a very
simple & limited shopping
cart that can be used at no
extra charge. If you have a
few items for sale that
don't require many options
(such as colors, sizes,
personalization, etc.), this
can be ideal.
If what your selling
requires a little more -
maybe your product comes in
several sizes, colors,
styles and you need to offer
your customers different
shipping methods, for
example, we offer a shopping
cart service to be used in
conjunction with your PayPal
Business account starting at
$15.95 per month. This is
still a very efficient and
economical way to have
ecommerce on your site.
