No, Shopping cart and paypal are two different things. Paypal is an online payment service which you can use to pay online on a website. Shopping cart is a general term which is used to store items you want to purchase. If you want to build a shopping website in asp.net, Have a look at http://www.aspcode.net/Creating-a-simple-paypal-shop.aspx

  • Shopping cart deals with answering: "How does the user indicate multiple items they want to purchase at one time?"

  • Paypal deals with answering: "How does the user pay for their purchase?"
