Paypal
Turtle skin is using Paypal's basic-level PayPal Payments Standard integration.
In this model the transactions are not encrypted, therefore no automatic approval is available: you will have to authorize all transactions manually. Please check every payment before you accept it! We don't take responsibility for fraudulent use of the shopping cart in your albums.
As no automatic payment approval, no automatic delivery exists either. You'll have to arrange the delivery by yourself. If you fail to do so, the client will likely file a "Dispute" request, and the payment will be withheld by Paypal. They will even close your account if no settlement has reached within a timeframe.

In this mode you can select multiple images on the index page and add them at once. You can't continue shopping and add more items until you buy the items or empty the cart. This is how Paypal works. Select Index page
or Both
on the Selling photos page to activate this mode.
Please note, you can only add items with the same (default) shop options. No items with individual shop options are added, even though you can select them.

You can check out the items before you buy them. The amount
contains the discounts, the Item total

6 Use your Paypal balance to pay
If you log in here you can spend from your Payapal balance, if it covers the amount. You can also use your Credit Card if that's already registered with Paypal.
7 Sign up with Paypal
For some countries Paypal requires you to sign up beforehand you can pay with your Credit Card. This makes the checkout process really complicated.
If you live in a country for which Paypal accepts payments directly, you will only see the Don't have a Paypal account
8 button.
8 Pay directly with Credit Card
If you and the seller live in a country for which Paypal accepts direct CC payments, only this button will show. In this case just fill in your Credit Card details, and the payment is done, no further hassle.
Note, Paypal do not disclose its policy on which countries they accept direct CC payments.
Shopping cart with individual images
In this mode you can only add the current image to the shopping cart. This shopping cart (handled by Paypal) will accumulate the items placed within the same browser session, within one hour (?).
