Set Up Your Web Site To Accept Paypal

Do you have a web site in which you would like to sell a product or service? Years ago, there were only two ways to collect payment from buyers, for them to send a check or money order, or to process their payment by credit card. Because credit card fraud was rampant, it cost online merchants thousands of dollars a year in credit card processing fees and wasn’t economical for a small business to employ.

Today, many small merchants take Paypal. Paypal is extremely easy to set up on your web site and used by millions of people. Paypal is very easy for almost any business to use. You can start a Paypal account with just your credit card and bank information. Once you open a Paypal account you can easily use Paypal’s tools to create payment buttons, subscription buttons and shopping carts.

These tools can be cut and pasted onto your web site where people with Paypal can purchase your product quickly and easy. Paypal is free to send money and only costs the merchant a few cents for each transaction plus about 3% of the total transaction. For many merchants set up their web site and accepting Paypal is a great way to do business on the net.
