NOTE: We have chosen to use “Add to Cart” over the old PayPal "Buy Now" buttons. The "Add to Cart" terminology is more up to date. Also it 'feels like' less of a commitment for your buyer than "Buy Now" since it is just "Putting the artwork in the cart." |
Once you mark an image as Sold, it will not show the Add to Cart button.
See this FAQ: How to Change Artwork to Show as Sold, Removing Add to Cart Buttons
