How to Create a PayPal Storefront Widget

Published on Dec 4, 2007   //  Emerging Markets

Today PayPal launched the Storefront Widget. This little Widget is great for adding to your blog sidebar if you are trying to sell something quick and easy. The one below only took me a few minutes to create.

 Here is a step by step on how to make your own Storefront Widget…

1. Go to the PayPal Storefront Widget Page.

2. Login to PayPal if you have an account. If not create one.

3. Click on Create new storefront to begin the customization proccess.

4. Choose a Theme (like a wallpaper) or colour.

5. Enter the Store Name and upload a 60 x 35 logo.

6. Add  your shipping information, contact information and additional information.

7. Add your products. You can have multiple products to sell and it will scroll through them.

8. Choose if your store is open or closed.

9. Publish your storefront. If you have a TypePad blog you can publish to it or just grab the HTML if you do not have a TypePad blog.

10. You can then paste the code into your page where you want it to display.

How do you see yourself using this on your site?

    Is the widget available in horizontal size formats, too?

  • No not yet.
