Shopping Cart Shipping vs. Paypal.com...

I'm sorry, :( but I'm not clear on the relationship between setting up shipping rates in Shopping Cart Creator versus setting up shipping rates in our Paypal account itself. (Incidentally, we placed a simple actual test order via SCC, via Paypal [of course], and, it worked successfully, as expected.)

As you are aware, Paypal clients may establish Shipping Calculations' policies at their Paypal.com Policies page itself: Profile | My Selling Tools | Shipping My Items | Shipping Calculations | Domestic Shipping Methods.

But, what shipping formula is employed on a given Shopping-Cart-to-Paypal order: (1) the shipping amount settings which I making in SCC, or (2) the shipping amount settings that I establish within my Paypal.com Profile?

Thanks,

If I remember correctly your Paypal account acts as the auto correct. If data comes in with bits and pieces missing, it will fill in what has been entered in the account. The shop should have the ultimate call otherwise there would be no way for the proper amounts to be shown in the cart because the two only talk to each other when a transaction is taking place not when users are selecting things and placing them in their cart.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

I'm pretty sure the shipping policies and any other specific transaction settings you put into PayPal, only affect if you are using a PayPal interface such as the PayPal Buttons. That information won't extend to external shop gateways such as Shopping Cart Creator shops. There are "some" settings that will though, but these don't affect your shop from CC.
