PayPal Shopping Cart
The PayPal Shopping Cart provides an
easy way for you to create an online store.
Customers are able to add multiple items to the
PayPal Shopping Cart, continue shopping, and
check out through PayPal.
Here’s how it works:
1. Click on the PayPal Shopping Cart link on
the Merchant Tools tab to create buttons
for your website.
2. For each item you are selling, enter the
item’s details and choose which button
your customers will click to add the item
to their shopping carts. You can even
use your own button.

3. Click Add More Options to customize your
pages. You can maintain the look of your
store on PayPal’s payment pages by
changing the background color, including
your logo, or specifying the URL of a
success page that PayPal can return
your customers to when after they have
completed their payments.
4. PayPal uses the information you enter for
this item to create HTML codes for your
“Add to Cart” and “View Cart” buttons.
Follow the on-screen instructions to
paste these codes where you want the
buttons to appear on your website.

5. As your customers shop, they can add
items to the shopping cart by clicking on
the Add to Cart buttons on your website.
6. When buyers check out and pay with
PayPal, the payment will be sent directly
to your PayPal account. You will receive
a payment confirmation via email, and a
record of the transaction will appear in
your Account History. Just ship the items
and you’re done!
