PayPal Buy It Now

  • Overview

    The jrPayPal module is designed to be a quick way to allow your users to sell their stuff via PayPal.

    For a more robust Paypal integration that also allows you to sell subscriptions, use Paypal as the payment processor via the jrFoxyCart module.

    With the jrPayPal module the system admin will not be able to take a percentage of the sale. The money is transferred via paypal from the buyer to the seller.
  • FoxyCart is the main payment processor system in Jamroom CMS.
