The PayPal Shopping Cart – Add
to Cart and View Cart Buttons
With the PayPal Shopping Cart, you can let buyers select multiple items on your website and
pay for them with a single payment. Buyers click Add to Cart buttons to add items to their
virtual PayPal Shopping Carts, and they click View Cart buttons to review the items in their
carts before they check out and make their payments.
You can create Add to Cart buttons that you add to your website by using a tool on the PayPal
website, or you can write the HTML code for Add to Cart buttons manually. You can create
buttons with limited functionality before you create your PayPal account or with JavaScript
disabled in your browser.
