PayPal Shopping Cart Button Factory
With the PayPal Shopping Cart, your buyers can make a single payment when they purchase
multiple items.
It’s easy to set up and use: just create a separate Add to Cart button for each item you sell,
and place the automatically generated HTML code for that button on your website next to the
item.
Use the following steps to create your Shopping Cart buttons, or if you are comfortable using
HTML, you can use the variables that are available in Appendix A to code your own buttons.
