Answer

No, Our Cart allows you to use PayPal as a payment method. PayPal doesn't have monthly fees and takes a very small percentage of the sale for a transaction fee. Using PayPal does have one disadvantage; the customer will be directed off your store to make the payment on PayPal. com. If you're looking for a low-cost alternative to paypal, you should look into PayPal Payments Pro, which keeps the customer on your site through the entire payment process.
