Start Selling Online Today
Many newcomers in the land of ecommerce get quickly baffled by
all the technical speak you find on many web hosting sites. They
sit there confused and bedazzled wondering which of the
thousands of shopping carts to buy, wondering about merchant
accounts, ecommerce hosting package, and most of all wondering
about the costs.
The truth is they don't need any of them. They can start selling
their products online today at no cost. They don't even need a
fancy hosting package, any one will do, even a free one . What
they do need however is a PayPal or a StormPay account (see
note), and guess what? They're free as well.
Selling products, both hard and digital ones, online has never
been easier all you need to do is to copy a bit of HTML code
into your web page and .. Hey Presto.. you have entered
the land of ecommerce.

So How Do You Do It?
Once you have a PayPal/StormPay account this will give you a
user ID. All you then need to do is to enter your product
details into the PayPal/StormPay system and they will generate
some HTML code, which you simply copy and paste into your web
page.
The web page will now typically contain a buy now button, which
when clicked takes the visitor to the PayPal/StormPay site where
the purchase is made. When complete the visitor is then sent
back to your site. All of the ecommerce being done at the
payment providers website.
Have you ever wondered about those eCommerce enabled templates
you see advertised? Guess what they use... yes..
PayPal/StormPay. All you need to do to edit the ID in the
template to match your PayPal/StormPay ID.
