"Shopping Cart"


          

I am using paypal as my shopping cart it will let you do two drop down menues, or two text boxes or one of each. BUT here is my problem. I offer a variety pack which means the customer gets to pick which two they would like plus any added toppings, my problem is...I don't know how to do this because I have the one drop down for the treats, and one text for the toppings.

I see my only options as...

1. Use two text boxes and let them type in the two type of treats and toppings that they want

2. use one drop down, (this will take a lot of work) and list the treats combines together. I have 12 treats I offer so to go through and list each one with another will be a huge list and could also be confusing to the customer

what do I do please help, I feel that having the customer type in there two treats could be a pain and not so professional but at this point i see that as my only option, thanks

Why don't you use a shopping cart that already provides you with fields that allow you to set up the stuff like you need?

There are programs out there that allow you to use PayPal but not necessarily Paypa's shopping cart so you can customize more while at the same time using PayPal.
