Is it easy to get a PayPal account? Do I still need a merchant credit card account?
Yes, it is easy to get a PayPal account. To sign up for a new
"Business Account", go to PayPal's
website.
You
don't need a merchant credit card account to use PayPal,
but not being able to accept credit cards directly will
probably hurt your sales. We recommend using BOTH PayPal
and accepting credit cards directly to ensure convenience
for all of your customers. If you don't currently have a
merchant credit card account, you can sign up for one by
clicking here.

Is it difficult to set up the PayPal interface in virtualCART?
Not at all. Simply sign
up for a new PayPal "Business Account" on
the PayPal website. When configuring your VirtualCart, check
the "By PayPal WebAccept" checkbox, then enter
your PayPal login email address in the "Checkout/Payment
Options" section of the cart configuration form.

What are some of the other functions featured with the virtualCART to PayPal interface?
Prior to checkout, virtualCART performs
all of its usual functions. When the shopper goes to check
out, they are presented with a checkout choice of "Order
online via PayPal" if you have enabled the PayPal interface
in your cart configuration.
The
shopper completes the VCart form with their shipping information
and email address. Once that information is submitted error
free, the shopper will be sent to PayPal to complete the
payment process.
Since
we must turn control of the shopper's browser over to PayPal,
we have no guarantee that they will complete the payment.
This means that whenever you get a PayPal order, you should
ensure that the shopper has paid for the order. When you
set up your virtualCART configuration,
you can set your PayPal preferences to send you a receipt.
You should get the virtualCART
Order Detail email followed closely by the PayPal Payment
Confirmation email. You can also check your PayPal account
overview to see if the transaction has been completed.

What do people like most about PayPal?
Shoppers like PayPal because it allows them to purchase online without
having to give their credit card number to several individual
merchants. PayPal "Personal Accounts" are free
for shoppers.
Merchants
like PayPal because the discount fees are less than regular
merchant accounts, typically 1.9% vs. 2.3%. It is perfect
for merchants who cannot or choose not to accept credit
cards.
