Hi I am doing thr exact same thing! I think PayPal do it for you dont they? for actual business users, im sure they do, i would look on their website, or even e-mail them, as they will know companys that do, which you can trust too.

Good luck :-)

If you are going to sell a few products you can add paypal add to cart buttons next to each product on your website. The feature is available at paypal https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_wp-standard-feature-list-outside Payapl accepts debit and credit card payment and the service is free.

If you have more than 20 products or if the products will change from time to time you will need an ecommerce solution. You can preserve your current website and install a shopping cart next to it, in a folder.
there are 100s of free ecommerce solutions, you may download the open source oscommerce, the free standard creloaded, or the free zen cart depending or your needs. They include instructions for installation and all support paypal express (free) and paypal credit card payment on your site (paypal pro costs £20/month).
