Re: shopping cart w/Paypal?

Karen,

I have a non-profit that just started using PayPal for memberships. What 
you need to do is find a way to have your order form total the amount and 
then *pay* paypal, but the customer will have to enter the total in there.

If a customer is ordering 20 or more items, you may want to check into the 
viability of a straight merchant account. Much less is probably going to be 
less that satisfactory through PayPal.

While the discount rate is great, it seems like you are asking a little 
more of the program that it was intended to give.

Good luck!
Tamara
