Hi Sandie,

PayPal actually has an integrated shopping cart system. It's not fancy, in that it doesn't manage inventory and whatnot, but it is robust and like Denny said, it will be familiar to the millions of PayPal account holders.

After setting up a PayPal account, you'll see links in the profile for setting up Buy Now buttons, donation buttons, etc. Keep an eye out for buttons that will add items to the shopping cart, and beware of the buttons that send a customer straight to PayPal with only the one item purchased.

Best part is, there's nothing special to install for the shopping cart feature. The necessary commands are all built into the buttons.

If you need more encouragement to use PayPal, here's a short post I wrote on the many reasons I prefer it and suggest it to businesses who are starting out:

Hope this helps!
