The checkout process is dead simple: “Customers browse to your mobile site, find what they want to buy, and then simply login to PayPal where they can confirm or cancel the order, before they’re returned to your site.”

Users can either log in with a mobile number and pin if they’ve got a mobile activated on their account or they can use their regular PayPal email address and password.

PayPal Mobile Checkout is designed to support the vast majority of mobile devices sold by major carriers that can make secure mobile web connections. To access mobile checkout, a device, mobile carrier, and browser must support the following:

• WAP 2.0 phones (not WAP 1.0)
• xHTML or HTML markup language
• SSL connections
• Cookies enabled
• No carrier “WAP gap”

Chipmunk AWS script is great for creating an amazon bookstore. It is not just an RSS feed from amazon but gives you full control of products you want to display and feature in categories that you create. It does take a little more work as you have to enter in all product info except for price which is automatically updated once every day.
