When you pay with PayPal, you don't expose your credit card number to merchants.
By signing up for a PayPal account, though, you have more options when you pay. You’ll be able to pay with your PayPal balance or — if that isn’t enough to cover a payment — you can pay directly from your bank account or use your debit or credit card. 
Whatever payment method you choose, your financial information is secure. Merchants get paid but never see your bank account details or debit/credit card numbers.
There's no charge to open a PayPal account and to transfer money from your bank account to your PayPal account.
Best of all, it's completely free to sign up!

@kim and others: I have just submitted an article on how to embed an online shop to blogger.com with 2 lines of code:
http://vendder.com/online-store-inside-your-blog/

I think it's worthwhile to check as it as full featured online shop working within your blog or website.

Check the demo here: http://vendder.blogspot.com/

Mudhut said...

If you embed the Paypal online store code on your everyday blogspot.com site which was not intended to be an online store, will the Paypal icon be visible on every page even where there are no items for sale, or must I make a new blogspot.com site just for my online store?
Please advise.
Kind regards
Mudhut

Hi Angga, I would like to know how to configure so that CHECKOUT goes to email instead to Paypal?

Thanks a lot!

These are very cute Templates. I am looking for some totally different designs, is there any free ecommerce store builder software??? Do you have any ideas?

Unknown said...

Great site for people who want to generate money on their own. The thing is it helps me generate ideas by becoming more competent in such a way by making it a passion.

Anonymous said...

Can anyone point me to examples of this idea being implemented on Blogger or WordPress?

Anonymous said...

This is so wonderful!! However, I really need some help.

How do I change the pictures and the price and add descriptions? How do I add more products? I was able to make the changes and add this to the pages. I even found a code to have the checkout widget appear only on the page for this store, but I don't know anything else!! Help!!

Unknown said...

Great modification of the SimpleCart script.

It is very useful for me but I would like to know if it's possible to change the currency to Euro. I have tried to change the code of the .txt but I got nothing. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi thank you first for the work

finally one has explained it properly,
but unfortunately does not work the online demo spot
http://exotic-handicraft.blogspot.com/
and was the second script is in the text Bloggspot.com against what should be as well not even "< before [CDATA [" is inserted before.
Can you make this post with the Blogspot Store resist alive?

regards
Martin
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi danke erstmal für die Arbeit,

endlich einmal einer der es vernünftig erklärt hat,
doch leider Funktioniert die OnlineSpot Demo nicht
http://exotic-handicraft.blogspot.com/
und das zweite Script gibt in Bloggspot.com den Text wider was wohl nicht so sein sollte obwohl vor "before <![CDATA[" eingefügt worden ist.
Kann man diesem Post mit dem Blogspotshop wider lebendig machen ?

Grüße
Martin
