Shopping Carts

In Xara Xtreme 5 and Xara Web Designer you can use widgets to add e-commerce to your website and we're going to show you how to do this using the most popular choice, Paypal. You can let your customers buy one item at a time by simply adding a Buy Now button on your website, or you can allow multiple items with an Add To Cart button. Alternatively you can create a complete online store on your site with the PayPal Storefront. The credit cards are processed by Paypal, you just have to deliver the goods!
