PayPal is the leading provider of online payment processing services. PayPal provides both online wallet services (an excellent alternative to using credit cards online) and credit card processing services. Quick Shopping Cart supports Instant Payment Notification (IPN) for real-time confirmation and communication between PayPal and Quick Shopping Cart.

All you need to start accepting PayPal is a PayPal business account. If you already have a PayPal account, just enter your account email address. You do not have to sign up or register for Instant Payment Notification.

PayPal Wallet provides an excellent alternative to using credit cards online by collecting money from shoppers and letting them use PayPal as a means of paying for goods and services online. PayPal verifies the customer and guarantees that the customer and payment is valid. PayPal then credits your PayPal business account. The PayPal online payment service allows you to get paid by credit cards or instant bank transfer.

The PayPal online payment solution supports international transactions and does not require you to use a merchant account or payment gateway - PayPal serves as these services for you.
