Hello, We have a small website where we want to sell a couple of items. (Around 5-10) Most of the people will only order 1 item, but we want to be able to give the opportunity to buy a couple of items if desired. So we can sell the items with a simple paypal button behind every item, this is the easiest way and this is also easy for the customer so they do not have to make a whole account just to buy 1 item.
But to be able to purchase more than 1 item at the same time, people need to make an account, put their items in a shopping cart etc. First this makes it a bigger step for them to buy the item, because in the eyes of a customer it can be a lot of work to do all the steps of creating an account. (People will most likely never return to buy another item, because this is for a game, people can pre order it to support us and then they get the game when it is released. There are some other items like tshirts but most people will be there just for the game.) And next to that I think to be able to make an account, and add more items to the shopping cart you need a whole functioning webstore, for a couple of items. Now someone said to me he heard of a possibility in paypal to add more items and then pay when you are done. But I could find information, and he also does not know how it works or where to find it, he just thought he heard about it somehow. But is there anyone here who has some tips or ideas how we can do this in a good way? I am able to create all of it, it is just that I like to know if there are better possibilities before I put a lot of effort in a webstore. Because if we really need a whole webstore it cost a lot of time and also makes the treshold to buy something bigger. I like to know if there are easier oppurtunities for stores with only a couple of items like this. Thanks in advance!! Alexander
