Website info PayPal checkout?

[ErikH]

Hello All,

I am currently building a website, www.ilovecorals.com .... I plan on selling corals including shipping to other cities across the country. I have done pretty a-ok on the site so far, but I am in need of some help before I go live. I need to add a shopping cart either via paypal or something similar. GoDaddy is my hosting site and they offer a checkout utility with PayPal. It costs like 14 something a month. Is there an easier or cheaper way to do so? I am working on the site and a banner for sites like MAAST. Once I get the site up and running I will be a sponsor on this GREAT SITE! I am excited for this opportunity!

yeah, I am going to call them and godaddy tomorrow and figure out what will be best. I have my icepacks coming in the mail already. I am hoping the paypal thing will have an "add to cart" feature as well.

Why not cantact one of maasts sponsors that have that option and ask how they did it?

Good idea. Russ has that option on his site Erik.

Erik, if cost is a concern I would use PayPal's free shopping cart. They just charge per transaction as normal. It's free though and will provide you with all of the basics of a shopping cart. See here: http://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr...-intro-outside and click the "See Demo" button.

Erik, I just realized you quoted using a shopping cart from Godaddy for $14. The one you mentioned is only for 20 products. Probably not a good choice for you unless you plan to only sell up to 20 individual corals at a time.

Also, almost every shopping cart, that I know of, will include the ability for users to pay using PayPal.
