3rd Party Shopping Carts

“How to Avoid, Eliminate, & Resolve ANY Limited Paypal Account!”

If you plan on using PayPal for your digital items, PLEASE plan on using a 3rd part cart software. By using a 3rd party software , you're essentially hiding your Domain name from PayPal. Which is important, as you know PayPal can track you. So you want to make sure to take every step in avoiding any linking. There are a number of third party carts you can use, most are a paid service however they are not that expensive, especially if you're looking for peace of mind of not being linked. I'm going to tell you about the two services that I have been using and I absolutely love. (I'm not including any Affiliate links)

1) www.digitalproductdelivery.com
This is a great service, you can have a test account for free, and this is perfect if you only want 1 product. It's only $5/month for an additional 10 products, and the price goes up from there. Digital Product delivery makes it very simple for you to change PayPal account information also, which is very important. It integrates with PayPal's cart buttons, so you simple create a button in PayPal, and you plug that information into the cart. It takes a few minutes to setup, very quick, easy and streamlined. The other cool thing about this is the use of coupon codes (which I love) and the ability to setup affiliate products. A disadvantage with DPD is that it does not really work well with member sites, but there is a way around that. The product is delivered Via File. So if you want to give someone access to a member setup page or something, you have to create a HTML file that will redirect them to the site you want them to be FWD to. So after they make payment, they will be direct to DL the HTML file which will redirect them. This minor issue is easily solved, so it's not really that bad.
Another good advantage of DPD is that they can be linked with other merchants, such as 2Checkout (2CO) and they are planning on setting up with Google Checkout and Amazon. I highly recommend this service.

2) www.e-Junkie.com
You can get e-junkie coupon codes on the web, I got my account free for 160 days or something like that. I really like eJunkie. They are pretty similar to DPD in terms of features. The currently allow multiple payment options. PayPal or GoogleCO. On your checkout page, you can have both as an option, so if you lose a PayPal account, Google will take over right then and there. This service is a little bit more cumbersome, it may take you a hour or two just to get the feel of the system, but once you have a good feel of what's going on you won't have any problems navigating the service. This is a great checkout system that will hide your domain info from PayPal.. That’s what the goal of this is.
