Selling Online using Paypal Storefront Widget

Posted in E-commerce, Payment Gateway, Paypal at 10:21 am by adrianoh

Not too long ago, Paypal launched the Paypal Storefront Widget, a virtual storefront that allows anyone (with a Paypal Account) to easily sell online, by embedding a storefront widget on any web sites - be it your blog, website, social networking profile page, or just about anywhere that accepts HTML code.

With this simple tool, Now everyone can really sell online (just like how AirAsia motto: “Now everyone can fly“), all you need are

1) a blog (we recommend blogspot or wordpress) or a facebook profile page or a simple website
2) a paypal account (don’t have it yet? Sign Up now for a Paypal Account, verify it using your Credit Card)
- if you are Malaysian, read more on how to transfer the Paypal balance to Malaysia Bank Account and turn it into Cold Hard Cash that you can spend us a nice meal for tipping you >:)

So, does it mean that neowave will be out-of-business soon? Well, far from true, if you are serious business merchant, you will want to go for a commercial grade e-commerce software like webShaper e-commerce to better manage and market your storefront.

Paypal Storefront Widget is designed for the masses, Customer-to-Customer (C2C) type of market, it’s a pretty simple (yet neat) tool designed to help casual sellers to sell on ad-hoc basics, and as a result, Paypal get more transactions and they earn more charging you a minor commission out of every single transaction!
