I love your shopping cart! Just what I had in mind.
One question: I currently have a Yahoo widget where users can donate to an ongoing effort. When they click the button, it takes them directly to a site where they can either log in to donate or enter their credit card information. I would like to do something similar on this site. Is such a thing possible and if so, how would I go about modifying the code?
TIA,
Mike

@mrpresto, you can maybe use a wordpress donation plugin to achieve what you are after.

Your Simple PayPal Shopping Cart and WordPress Paypal Donation Plugin are both great!
I need to be able to sell merchandise, with sizes and colors as well as take donations with amounts up to the users.
Is it possible to use both?
Thanks so much!

Mrs. Sophie, The PayPal Simple Shopping Cart will not allow you to do donations within the cart. But you can run both plugins at the same time. You can use the Paypal simple shopping cart to process your merchandise transactions and the donation plugin to handle the donation side.

Is it possible to eliminate the “visit the shop” link when the shopping cart is empty without eliminating the “Your shopping cart is empty” text? I’d like to do this when the user is already on the shop page. Thanks.

The easiest is to leave the “Products URL” field empty.

What about book keeping purposes, is there a file that could be downloaded and used for that?

Hi Jeanette, With the simple shopping cart you will need to get this information from PayPal. This feature is only available in the eStore. With the eStore you can download a file that tells you what you sold, how many you sold, the amount, and your total for the month.
Let me know if you have anymore questions.
Cheers,
Ivy

Does the Simple WP Shopping Cart support different return URLs once payment is made through PayPal? Thank you

Hi, The simple shopping cart does not have this feature. The eStore does have this feature but it can only be used with “Buy Now” buttons.
