2. CHECK WITH YOUR WEB HOST AND MAKE CERTAIN THAT YOU HAVE MySQL CAPABILITYIf you do not have MySQL with your hosting package, you will need to upgrade. The additional cost is usually minimal.
3. PURCHASE A PayPal SOFTWARE INTERFACE PROGRAMI choose to use DigiVendor, for its ease of installation and its low cost. I have used DigiVendor for customers, as well as my own digital download website, and the results have been very successful. One thing I especially like about this software is that it allows you to put a "Buy" or "Download" button any place on any web page within your website. You dont' have to configure a shopping cart--although you WILL have a shoppping cart.(You will find a link to DigiVendor in the resources section below.)
4. CLICK ON THE LINK BELOW AND PURCHASE DIGIVENDORWhen you click on the link, you will be taken to a product description page and you will be able to download the software immediately.
5. READ THE "READ ME" PAGE IN ITS ENTIRITY BEFORE YOU INSTALLING DIGIVENDORI like to begin with the end in mind, as they say. When you read all the steps to installation before implementing the first step, you will find that installation goes more smoothly.
6. INSTALL DIGIVENDORDuring the installation of DigiVendor, you will input information regarding your PayPal account, making a smooth interface between your Pay-Per-Download website and your PayPal account.In other words, customers click your Download Button, complete the information screen, and money flows into your PayPal account. You now have a 24/7/365 online store.
7. SET UP YOUR AMINISTRATION PAGEBe sure to keep good notes, because you will have to establish passwords for your new interface software.
8. ADD PRODUCTSProducts are "stocked" in the Administration Section of your DigiVendor component of your digital download website. Products are displayed on any page in any manner you choose, as long as the name you provide on the link is the same as the name you provided in the Administration Section.
9. GET THE WORD OUTBe sure to do your marketing. Submit your digital download website to search engines. Advertize with Adwords if your budget allows. Post to blogs, etc.

How to Build an Easy Online PayPal Store
1. Create a web page. You can create your web page with a program like FrontPage or DreamWeaver. This will help keep it simple and takes less time. Include on your page pictures of your products and the description. List the price and leave some space for a Paypal button.
2. Sign up for a Paypal account. The account is free and just requires an email address. Choose a merchant account. You will have to verify the account. Paypal will make two small deposits into your bank account and then you will verify the amounts and your bank account will be connected so that you can transfer money from your Paypal account to your bank account.
3. Get the Paypal code. Go to the Paypal website and sign in. Click on 'Merchant Services.' Pick the 'Buy it Now' button. You can choose if it is a product, service, subscription, donation or gift certificate that you are selling. Next you'll enter the dollar amount, the shipping information, tax information and customize other options. When you are done some code will be displayed for you to copy.
4. Copy the code from Paypal and paste it into the code view in the web page software on the page next to the product. When the page is viewed online you'll see a 'Buy it Now' button that will let someone send you money for that product and you'll get address information to mail them the product.
