How to I set up my PayPal account to work with Ecomerce or Event Proofing?

For Ecommerce the following steps are required to configure your PayPal account.  Most of these steps are found within the Profile section on PayPal's website.

  1. Upgrade your PayPal account to a Premiere or Business account:
  2. Set your shipping options if you charge for shipping
  3. Set your regional tax option if required
  4. Set the credit card statement name on the Payment Receiving Preferences page
  5. Turn Instant Payment Notification (IPN) on if you are selling electronic files and then set IPN URL to http://www.bigblackbag.net/client_admin/client_ipn.asp
  6. Turn PayPal Account optional to "On" under the Website Payment Preferences. This will allow anyone to make a payment via PayPal without having to have a PayPal account. Please note this option may no longer exist as this option may be standard now.
