Where do I find it?
You can find the Online Store page by going to Features > Online Store.
Overview
The Online Store is a RescueGroups.org Web Site feature that allows you to sell items on your web site. 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 must have a PayPal account to use this feature. If you do not already have a PayPal account, you can sign up for one on their web site.
