    Default PayPal set up

    Hi, I'm very new to using Zen Cart. I want to set up PayPal as a form of taking payments on my website but I don't know which of the 4 set ups to use. All I want to do is have people purchase on my site, spit out a receipt with the title of the items they are purchasing and then ship the items.

    What is the difference between the 4?

    And how do I modify the receipt to read what they are purchasing?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Best to use Express Checkout. Simple setup: http://www.zen-cart.com/getpaypal

    Thank you Dr. Byte! It worked perfectly!

    Now, I have another question, why when I directly use PayPal, it doesn't charge taxes on the item? I have allowed and set up taxable regions and taxable goods.

    When I log into my account on the website, it charges me taxes, but when I click on "check out with Paypal" it doesn't charge taxes.

    Where do I need to change the tax information?

    Thanks!

    I'm not sure I understand. Are you just saying that when you get to the PayPal site and see a preview of the items in the sidebar that the taxes don't show there? If so, that's because at that point neither PayPal nor Zen Cart know who you are nor *where* you are, and can't calculate taxes yet. But after you select your funding source in PayPal and specify your address, then it will give the necessary information back to Zen Cart so it can calculate the taxes to add them to your order before final payment is collected.
