Overview

The Online Store is a RescueGroups.org Web Site feature that allows you to sell items on your RescueGroups.org website. Your customers use a PayPal shopping cart to purchase the items, so you don't have to worry about handling credit card information or online payments. You can sell products, services, or solicit donations for things such as the Memorial page.
