Simple store product, to implement a PayPal shopping cart store within plone. You need to read PayPal's shopping cart instructions (a copy is included in docs/shopping_cart.pdf). READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
Basically you create a PayPal Store and the parameter of interest there is the view cart button code. You'll need to add that later by pasting in the view cart code that PayPal gives you.

view cart
Then you create a PayPal Item for each item. You get a picture and a description, and the paypal button code is pasted in. Basically you should have a browser window open to paypal.com where you create the item, with all of it's information. Then you get the code for the add to cart button and you paste that into your plone object.

You can also use the single item code, same difference. If the store doesn't have any view cart button code it won't show the button.
Also you don't have to have a store to use the Item. But it has a nice view of your whole store (catalog). If you want to make it so people can't add Items outside of the store, you need to uncheck implicitly addable in the portal_types tool PayPal Item.
