PayPal Simple Ecommerce Solutions
If you are intending to set up an Online Store you will have to decide how you are going to take payments for the products you are selling. For an online store you will need to install a shopping cart on your website. The shopping cart allows the customer to find the products they are seeking and to make the purchase quickly and effectively.
If you want to take credit card payment securely on your website you need to have an Internet Merchant Account and you must apply at your bank. If you do not want to process credit card payment on your website you can choose PayPal payment processing methods that do not require an Internet Merchant Account. And it is free to set up. With PayPal payment system your customer is taken away from your site to Paypal's website to make credit card transaction. With PayPal payment system you do not have to worry about the security on your website.
