How to Set Up a PayPal Account

When a customer clicks on your buy now or add to cart button, they are taken to PayPal where they begin the purchasing process.  In most cases, the next page they see is the normal, generic PayPal page.  Nothing on it really looks like or tells the customer they are still with YOU…other than some small text that has your business name and some very small text in the description field that says what product they are buying.

Now…if you didn’t know how to set up PayPal correctly, then the business name your customer sees during the PayPal transaction may not be something they recognize or know.  Like many people, when you set up your PayPal Account, you may have given it a generic name like OnlineInf0 LLC because you have several websites and sell several different types of products.

Now your customer who is buying shoes from your website named Mary’s Shoes get’s confused when during her purchase she sees OnlineInf0 LLC on the PayPal Transaction Page.  She assumes she somehow clicked on a wrong link or somehow PayPal gave her the wrong page.  So, she closes out, tries again, get the same results, get’s even more aggravated and goes buys her shoes somewhere else.

When you set up your PayPal account, you need to create a Custom Payment Page  that will become your Primary Payment page.  This is the page all of your customer will see when they purchase any of your products.  When you set up your Custom PayPal Payment Page, you’ll be able to add a logo and a header.  This will make your PayPal transaction page look very much like your website.

Now when a customer begins the buying process, they arrive at a PayPal page that has the look and feel of your website!  This will keep your customer happy and feeling safe, knowing they are at the right place.
