Paypal acts almost like an online bank account. You can use paypal to send & receive payments but their are also lots of merchant tools inside paypal as well. Such as being able to create your own “Buy Now” & “Add To Cart” buttons & when a purchase is placed through these buttons on your site the money is sent directly to your paypal account.

I am not happy with the charges from Clickbank for my affiliate sales, I more prefer paypal but not sure if one can use paypal to manage the affiliate payment. Advice welcome.

Hi Marion,
Yes you can integrate a shopping cart with paypal & it will create mass payment files for your affiliate sales which you can just upload to paypal & send payments to your affiliates. There are many different shopping carts which do this but one I know a lot of people use is iDev http://www.idevdirect.com
Just drop their support team an email to make sure that what they deliver will fit your needs.
