PayPal Integration with ShopTab
Do you need a Facebook Store with a flexible payment system for your products or services? Try combining ShopTab and PayPal to deliver a powerful Facebook store experience in minutes.
| This solution is perfect for these retailers: - You have a PayPal account and are familiar with using it for payments - Access to the largest online payment system is desired - You are located in countries well serviced by PayPal - You aren’t an e-commerce expert and desire a simple solution - You are new to online retail and want to try in Facebook first - You want to quickly test the value of a Facebook store for your business |
Note: If you have an existing e-commerce website or are selling on a third party marketplace like Amazon, EBay or Etsy, the traditional ShopTab implementation should work well for you.
STEP 1: Set up your PayPal checkout buttons.
A) Log into ShopTab and complete the integration with your Facebook page. Then select to choose the PayPal option for payments and orders (#1) and enter your PayPal email address (#2).
B) Now click on “Add Product” and enter the information for your first product.
Notes:
- You’ll need an external reference for your product picture. Follow the directions for how to create that URL.
- You may add one level of selection for your product (color, size, number of items…) with an associated list. Example: Color with Red, White or Blue.
Step 2: The Products in your Store are Active
Proceed to your Facebook page and your products will be active within the store with the PayPal “Buy Now” buttons.
The user will select the “Buy Now” button and land on a PayPal payments page and will input their email address and PayPal password. The user also has an option to pay with a debit or credit card (#3).
If you want to set up PayPal to support shipping and taxes you can log into your PayPal account and go to Profile/My Selling Tools and then select the Sales Tax and Shipping options. These will appear on your check page when the client elects to make a purchase.
You will receive an email notification for each transaction.
Good luck and good selling!

Currently ShopTab admin does not provide an ordering system to move products or categories around or to feature specific products onto the home page; however, there is a simple solution to organize your categories and or products. For existing ShopTab users follow these steps:
1) Log into http://admin.shoptab.net and then click on My Products tab which should be the default page you land on
2) At the bottom of your products click Export Products
3) Open the Export Products in a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel
4) Once the file is opened, delete the ID column as this is an ID column assigned by the ShopTab database
5) Organize your products and or categories in the way you want them to show on ShopTab. The products near the top of the spreadsheet are those that will show first. Special Note: On the first page of your Facebook ShopTab 10 (default setting), 20, 50 or 100 products are displayed. If you want specific products to always show on the first page make sure those are the first 10 products at the top of your spreadsheet
6) Once done organizing all your products and or categories, save the file as a .csv to your computer
7)) In ShopTab Admin, go to the Data Feed tab and upload your new .csv file. Wait about 5 seconds (based on average 500 products file) and then click on My Products tab and all your products should be displayed. If you run into any issues please submit your .csv file, email address you use to log into ShopTab admin in a ticket at http://support.shoptab.net
