Integration With PayPal

To accept payments online, you can integrate the PayPal payment processing system into your online store. Online shoppers will be able to pay for their purchases using credit cards directly from your web page.

If you, as the store owner, want to accept credit card and bank account payments from shoppers, use the integrated PayPal payment system at your online store. For this, you should have a merchant account at PayPal (www.paypal.com). Therefore, register at PayPal. On the official PayPal web site, you can find more information about PayPal services for online store owners.

To integrate your e-store with the PayPal payment system:

  1. In the Shop Editor, open the PayPal tab where you should customize PayPal-related settings.
  2. In the PayPal E-mail field, enter the e-mail of your PayPal account (in PayPal, all accounts are attached to e-mails).
  3. From the PayPal currency of the payment drop-down list, select the currency unit for payments through PayPal.
  4. If you want to charge a fee for handling PayPal-based orders, in the PayPal Handling field, enter the fixed fee that will be charged for processing a single order. This fee does not depend on the number of goods in the shopping cart. The specified sum will be added to the total sum of the shopping cart. If no sum is entered, the fee for handling orders will not be charged.
  5. Specify the shipping rates for shipping goods purchased by customers:
  6. Click Apply.

Note: The PayPal settings specified in the SiteBuilder Wizard override the respective settings in your PayPal Profile! Therefore, if you want to apply the Profile settings, leave the above fields blank.
