Setting up Paypal as a shopping cart?

[babymama728]

Is there anyway I can set up paypal to be a shopping cart? I know I can add the button but how would i go about it being automated? Do I just add the button to each item or is thier individual coding involved?

No idea, have you look into the paypal's FAQ section .. i'm gonna go look see if they have it, cause it would be cool if i can do that.

There is actually a button creation section on PayPal where you can create buttons for your site.
When the user clicks on it, it will send them to a pre designed PayPal page telling them what they are purchasing.

Yeah i fugured out how to do it. I just wish it was more customizable but oh well. I think I will just look into other shopping cart systems.

I remember some free shopping cart programs have PayPal inbuilt into it so its a lot easier.
Maybe you would like to have a look at things like CubeCart or ZenCart.

For CubeCart or ZenCart would you have to setup your own https server or will they provide one?
