The first step towards either selling online or receiving invoice payments online is to enter your settings for sales and payments. This involves linking a PayPal account and choosing your settings for shipping, notifications, new item defaults and tax.

You'll find these settings on the Sales and payments page, where you'll first need to make your shopping cart visible to customers by selecting the Enable a shopping cart in my gallery option, or switch on your Pay online page by selecting the Allow customers to pay invoices on my website option.
