Question about Paypal Buttons

stkeys · 08-25-2009, 09:24 AM

Hey guy's is it possible to set up a Paypal button for a one time sale ? ( physical product )

I know it's not the normal marketing way but I've been thinking about selling a few items on one of my sites ( and on Usfreeads ) but I don't want more than one person buying the item as I only have one of each item to sell.

I know how to set up a normal Paypal button but that allows multiple purchases and I couldn't figure our how to set it up so that it is dissabled after the sale.

Anyone know how to do this ?

Thanks,

After logging into your paypal account click on the "merchant services" tab.

Then click on the "buy now button"

Click on the Step 2: Track inventory, profit, & loss (optional) tab.

Place a checkmark on next to the "track inventory" box.

Enter the item id. and the Qty. in stock. (enter 1)

Then go through the button creating process like normal.

copy and paste the code

Remember, you can also set up your pay button to have a blank field for the amount so that someone has to put in the amount they are sending you. This way you can use that button for anything even if you want someone to send you money.

Just another option for you.

Cheers!
