Resource Of The Week: PayPal

Today's resource of the week is actually a huge tool that you no doubt have heard of: PayPal. For authors with a book or product you want to sell online, this is a resource worthy of your consideration.



Paypal has different levels of service it can offer you that makes it a wonderful shopping cart alternative to those costly options that siphon cash on a monthly basis. With PayPal, you can set up a shopping cart feature that allows your readers to purchase your product securely and easily.



I have used Palpal to set up a digital product, like my PDF/Video version of Conducting Effective Twitter Contests that collects the payment, delivers the download instructions and then notifies me of the purchase. But I've also used PayPal to take orders for books that people wanted me to sign for them. Whether it is a physical product or a digital download, PayPal always does a great job.



And with PayPal, your customers can choose to pay by credit card without any additional gateway setup on your end. You have no monthly payment requirements to use PayPal and they take a reasonable small percentage of the sale to make their service available to you.



Of course, depending on your volume, it may make sense to go another route for your shopping cart, but for a reasonable service with no up-front or monthly fees, and one that's very easy to implement on your site, check out PayPal.
