Is there a better way?

Hey

I have been designing a site for my Father to sell his art work online. This is one of the first sites I have made, and it has been a near verticle learning curve for me. Now about 80% finished, I am wondering if I have set up the payment the best way, as it is taking me ages to put each Paypal button onto the site.

I have put a custom paypal BIN button on each page, is this the right/best way to do it?

Any input or suggestions are appreciated
Thanks

Usually using some type of shopping cart might be easier in the long run. With your location, you might check out mals-e.com for a little help.

 

Thanks Corey,
I have checked out that link and it looks good.
Any more opinions?

I have checked out your site and it is really a good one.

My good luck to you.

 

Many thanks for the kind words.

Yeah its well built, clean and proffessional. And your fathers artwork is beutiful.

 

I have not tried this but if your dad's site gets very extensive, maybe something like OSCommerce http://www.oscommerce.com/solutions/oscommerce may be able to handle what you need.

 

Cheers for all the feedback guys,
So, do you think its OK as is for now, and possibly intergrate a shopping cart at a later date?
Thanks

Yes, it does seems okay. I like it the way it is really. A Shopping cart script makes it looks too commercial.

Incidentally, instead of using the Buy Now button, why not use the Paypal Shopping Cart option so they can buy more than one painting at a time.
