Can I use paypal on weebly if I upgrade to weebly starter or do I have to pay for the weebly business account?

Hi,

I've just built a Website using Weebly to sell a book I've written. I'm now setting up the ecommerce side for purchasers to buy the book on Weebly.

I'm in the UK and wish to use Paypal for purchasers to pay for the book as this is the only option for UK users/sellers on Weebly.

I have now been asked to upgrade my account from a free one to a paid one as have reached the point in developing the website to select Paypal for purchasers to use.

I was hoping to go with the starter package as I only have one product to sell and it is low priced.

However it has taken me straight to the option of business account which is a considerably higher price. I can select the starter option if I change the box ticked.

Can I use Paypal with Weebly if I pay for the Weebly starter option?

Many thanks for replies :)

Update:

I contacted Weebly via live chat to ask the question also, they confirmed I do need to upgrade to the Business Account to use Paypal. This is such a shame for us UK users as it is the most expensive package and the only option for us to use Weebly for ecommerce.

I've been really impressed with Weebly so far - the set up, but this is likely to mean I will be priced out as I have one product to sell which over time as I build awareness of the book will likely be of interest to people.

Update 2:

What to do?? Any advice appreciated. The adviser on chat did mention I could embed a paypal button and go without a cart - how easy is this to do?

Wondering if a Facebook/paypal shop may be a good option, a shame as my Weebly site looks good now.

    It seems that from the reply from Weebly, I would need to upgrade to a Business account. Maybe they could change this for UK users so we can use Weebly ecommerce at the same prices as USA. I'm looking into the paypal button option now.
