In our previous blogs, we have discussed, how we can use PayPal express checkout for selling a Single Product and Digital Goods.

Now we are going to explain how we can use PayPal express checkout for making shopping cart based website using PHP session and selling multiple products.



Adding cart on the website lets users to buy multiple products using PayPal. Where PHP session based shopping cart collects the product which buyer wants to buy, and they will be able to pay for multiple products using a PayPal account.

Here we demonstrate a furniture selling site with cart option. Where buyer can select quantity for product and add products to cart then checkout for making payments to PayPal.

Paypal express checkout shopping cart in php


Note : PayPal offers sandbox account for development and testing purpose. Here we are using Sandbox for demo. so if you would like to test our demo you can use your PayPal sandbox credentials.

 

Concept behind the script

In our last post we have used Paypal Add to Cart button for creating a online shopping website, this post have the same functionality, but it differs somehow.

The difference is, there we have used Paypal Add to Cart button for making cart, whereas in this post we have achieved the same functionality using Paypal Express Checkout and PHP session, which makes the script an effective one as compare to the last one.


 

Tutorial Scripts in detail

Below are the details of the code used in this tutorial with proper explanation.

index.php

Index.php showing product details. Here the buyer can select the quantity of product and add a product to the cart. After collecting products they will checkout with PayPal by clicking on the place order button.
