How to Build an Online Store Using PayPal

1. Visit the PayPal website. Sign in with your username and password. If you do not have a PayPal account, sign up for a business account. It's free, although PayPal's portion will be taken out of sales once the transactions are made.
2. Sign up for a domain name and hosting or get a free sub-domain. The domain name should be something related to what you're selling in order to get more visitors/buyers. For example, if you're selling cookies, your domain could be something like cookiefactory.com. Be sure that the site editor allows you to paste custom HTML in the code.
3. Click on the 'Merchant Services' tab on your PayPal home page. Click on 'Add to Cart' button. Select all of the correct options for the items you'll be selling. Enter the name of the item and an ID if needed. Enter a price, a shipping price, and tax. Enter all of the information for your store. Click 'Create Button.'
4. Copy the HTML code that is provided for you.
5. Create images for the products/services that you are selling. Upload them to an image-hosting site that provides you with an image code. Save the image codes for each image.
6. Open your site editor provided by the hosting company you're with. Paste the HTML code for your images in the editor. Paste the HTML for the button underneath the image code of the product.
7. Repeat steps 3 through 6 for every item in your shop. Save your online store website and publish it to the internet.
