Currently there are three places where users can click a button that will take them to the Casa Frela PayPal account to make a payment:This page has some notes on how the last one was set up - Fun Packs:
- The following has been set up on the site:
- FunPacks - has 3 "Buy Now" buttons for 1, 5 and 10 fun packs
- This page can only be viewed by Admins while it is being developed
- FunPackThanks - the thank you page that customers are returned to after completing their purchase on PayPal
- This page must be accessed with this url: FunPackThanks?thanks=1 or it will redirect to the HomPage
- FunPackCancel - thepage that customers are returned to if they cancel out of their purchase on PayPal
- This page must be accessed with this url: FunPackCancel?cancel=1 or it will redirect to the HomPage
- FunPacks - has 3 "Buy Now" buttons for 1, 5 and 10 fun packs
- The following has been set up within PayPal:
- The 3 "Buy Now" buttons to purchase 1, 5 or 10 fun packs have been saved on PayPal
- The product code is FP and price is set for a single fun pack - only the quantity is different between the three buttons
- The urls for the pages customers are returned to after completing or canceling their purchases (mentioned above) are set up for each saved button
- PayPal has a feature that allows tracking profits on sales so an amount has been set up for this
- PayPal can also track inventory, but this has not been set up
- Online sales tax for customers in NY is computed automatically in PayPal
- PayPal has a feature that allows a tax rate to be set up by state. The law is to charge sales tax to customers in the same state as where the seller has a presence - so NY in our case. The rate is 8.875%. Customers in other states are responsible for paying the tax as a "use tax" on their own tax returns
- Shipping has also been set up in PayPal so that it is calculated automatically
- Shipping costs are based on quantity
- PayPal allows for the use of weight or dollar amount to determine shipping as well
- It appears that whatever is set up in shipping applies to all products
- A shopping cart is not being used at this stage because shipping costs for every potential choice of quantity is not yet known
- The 3 "Buy Now" buttons to purchase 1, 5 or 10 fun packs have been saved on PayPal
