How to use paypal for online business?

Hi myfb Well, this is my profession. I can help you with all that I know. The first thing you have to decide is how are you going to set up your website. This is essential because there are essentially 3 different kinds of e-commerce websites technically. The first is the custom cms thing where we do all the code from scratch. The other is using an e-commerce Application/framework and the third is Wordpress. The process to integrate Paypal on each of these is different. However, The easiest solution is to use Paypal's own buttons and codes - they can be accessed via Paypal once you login. You should have a business / merchant account with them(at least this is what the book says). On the other hand, in case you are using wordpress, there are plenty of plugins available. And if you want to use a framework, 99% it includes all the codes to handle payments via Paypal and a lot of others.

Good for you, I think it's a brave move to have your own store. May I ask what kind of store it is? I am making jewellery...one of a kind pieces and I have so much now, I realise I will have to begin to sell it. I was thinking of doing that on E-Bay as I think it might be less complicated. If I do get going, I will use my regular account first then I will check with others, like you are doing, to find out about their experiences. For this I was thinking to use the E-Bay forums help section.

Great discussion. I hope to learn something from this discussion as well.

yes. You have a few mylot members form Philipiens, USA who also do online business. I think they will respond. I would like to know about responses from others for this.

I'm a PayPal user, but it is my personal account. I use it to receive money, as well as buy stuff. PayPal has 3 types of accounts: 1. Personal - As the name suggests, for personal uses 2. Premier - Small time businesses 3. Business - Huge amount of transaction volumes As you mentioned, yours is a small time business, so I'd suggest you get a premier account. As and when your business flourishes, you can upgrade. Thankfully, PayPal provides this option. Good luck to your business. Cheers.

First you create an account to paypal. If you have an account register it to the site you have been working, example to mylot. If the site you have been working or any that you have business, they sent it directly to your paypal account the money you have been owed. It is a simple procedure.

It is an interesting topic about using paypal for online business. So far, I have not got much knowledge about paypal. I hope to learn something from here, from some other responses. Take care, myfb.

hello sis, I am not doing such business but I am curious how people do it. So,I hope someone will give us clear view regarding this matter. I am also interested with this kind of online store

I don't actually have my own online store, so I'm not exactly sure of all of the specifics of having an online store that uses paypal for their purchases. However, I know that a lot of the scrapbooking sites that I use offer paypal through their zencart as a way of making purchases. In these cases, the products that are purchased are downloadable products and by doing it this way, you immediately have access to your downloads.

Hiya FYB, Great if you are going to open a store apart from using paypal which is most important you can also make landing pages that have keywords to link to your Store all sorts of things like that to get you plenty of traffic. Good luck and hope you get plenty of visitors and buyers.xxx

I have issues with paypal, Reserve Bank of India, and my bank ...ah well, not really. They are all doing as per the rules. But I truly dont like those rules. I get dollars in one day, and before I realize it is in there, it is sent into my bank account as if I dont really have any other way to use it. :( A bit disheartening. :(

hi there myfb2009, with regard to your topic discussion, queries like that should be properly addressed to paypal "contact us" page. wherein to that page, they have a pre-answered questions that can somehow help you thru. however, if the question/s you are asking were not yet posted there, you can email them directly so you can addressed properly your main concern. Thus, in this matter, it is best to transact directly the questions or queries to them so you can have a concrete responses. After all, your money and upcoming revenues will be the matter here.

Paypal is a site in which a lot of people make use of to make online dealings. I have been a member of Paypal for rather some years now and do not feel sorry it. Paypal is a very reliable and well-established site in the online society. The fact is not all is good in the world of Paypal along with all the immense benefits comes some not so great things as well. The only thing I don’t like about Paypal is verifying your bank account takes up to four days, transferring funds to your bank account may take 4-6 business days. Paypal offers members lots of great benefits but along with those benefits come some jeopardy. An intelligent Paypal user can stay away from being the victim of some scams by reading all the information about Paypal scams on Paypal's website. Paypal will inform you what they will and will not do when sending emails.

Hi, I am Doing Business with PayPal Since 2 Years. I have my own online store of php scripts that is scriptsmentor.com. If you want to start your own online store or something like this, then you have to create an Premier or Business account in PayPal. Because if you create an business account, Your transaction fees become very low. Don't worry, You do not have to submit any documents for opening an business account.
