 You can use the catalog page with
PayPal's buttons, which is ideal if you are charging in a $ currency. If you
are charging in a non-$ currency, post your products on a Web Page layout in
the 'Along Left' sublayout. This will allow you to post up
to 10 products per page.If you are using the catalog page
to display your products, make sure the shopping cart we provide is turned off by choosing 'Closed' in the 'Edit Store'-> 'Setup Checklist' section.
