    Sure. It's rather easy :)

    Go to paypal, set up your code. Copy the code, paste into SmugMug (like in a a gallery description, or a caption, depending on what & how you're implementing it).

    Put the paypal code in between html tags like this:

    <html>

    (paypal code here)

    </html>

    The problem is though there is there is no automated way for them to select the prints/digital downloads and then checkout using Paypal.

    Paypal is only good for generic "deposits for photoshoots" or other stuff. If someone wanted to purchase a Digital Download using Paypal they would need to specify the image they wanted - pay using paypal and then the photographer would need to transfer the image to the purchaser manually.

    If you could implement a semi automated digital download and pay using paypal using the currency of your choice ( in my case $AU ) then my sales would increase substantially.

    Everyone ( except 1 person ) refuses to purchase photos from my smugmug account using USD$ and it is painfull presently to get them their products manually - it defeats the purpose of having a Pro account
