INTERNET MARKETING

I've got a friend who is trying to sell real items through wordpress. I've never tried to sell real items. How do you accept the transaction. I've also never asked for regular transactions even for services. How do I go about doing both of these tasks?

Grey,

You can setup a Buy Button throught PayPal and ensure that the customer enters all their shipping details when you create the product in PayPal. There are detailed instructions on how to do that in PayPal.

What about selling physical products? Does paypal help set that up as well? My area of confusion here is when you get a bunch of orders for different products, how is that organized?

Grey,

If you are selling more than one item, then you might need to look at Shopping Cart software like Zencart or similiar. That way a person can select more than one item and then pay for it all.

eJunkie is another website that you could use without actually installing shopping cart software on your site.

The only difference between physical and digital goods is that you have to ship the goods off to the customer once you receive their payment. Paypal does not help you to set that up. You will have to organise a courier service or drop shipping service yourself.

If I'm not wrong, Paypal also offers multiple items selling. Was just taking a look yesterday.

  If you need shopping cart functionality (ie. more than one item), I found ecwid to be ridiculously easy to install. Step 1. Create account, step 2. Stick in some pasted code. 3. Sell!
  
  Thanks

  I'd like to throw my vote in for wpestore also.
  
  I sell custom printed shirts. wpestore controls all of the different sizes, colors and imprint locations.
  
  I first tried using PayPal but wpestore is SOOOO much easier to use and change things.
  
  Although I didn't buy it because I already had one (idev) the makers of wpestore also have an affiliate program plugin that works with wpestore if your friend wants to run an affiliate program.
  
  Thanks

Why are you making this so complicated? PayPal doesn't know what you are selling. Create a product ID, put the "buy now" button on your site. When you get a payment confirmation, go ship the darn product!
