Use the Options section if you are selling items that have different options available.

Start by clicking on the Add Options with Price button.

Enter the option you want, for example, a standard lawnmower model. Enter the product price.

Next, click on the Add Options with Price button again to add in the deluxe lawnmower model.

The second option allows you to do the same thing, but without the price difference. So for example, in this case I can add color choices as my options.

If you want to add a shipping cost with the item, check the ‘Enable Shipping’ checkbox.

Click on the Add Shipping Method button, to add a shipping cost option. For example, you could add standard and express shipping options.

In addition, you can allow shipping outside of your own country by checking the Allow International Shipping checkbox.

You can also allow shipping by quantity.

Furthermore, you can add a Handling fee to the customer’s purchase using the Handling Fee option. The fee can also be calculated by quantity.

To set up International shipping or handling based on quantity you will need to do this in PayPal.

To add discount possibilities use the Discounts section. A discount can be applied as a percentage of the product price, or as a fixed amount.

Use the Actions section of the widget, to redirect your customers to a ‘Thank You Page’ or to a ‘Cancelled Page’ that you have created in your site.

If your customers are not redirected correctly, go in to your PayPal Account Settings. Under the Website Payments option, make sure that your Website Preferences are set to ‘bring customers back to my website after they pay with PayPal’.
