You can use PayPal's inventory control feature. You don't need to make any changes on the script side.

question, how can I sell unique products? can I integrate a self-made paypal button with solds limited to one?

2013-12-25

Hi Brian,

If you mean "a self-made paypal button on the fly", the answer is no. The script has to check if the price matches the one in the configuration file to avoid cheating. So you can't change ... Read More

Sorry, there is no turn-key solutions in the script. I should add some security API so users can customize the permissions. I'll keep it in mind when designing a future version!

Maybe We can change the "Notes" field to Image type in order to load a picture for each staff member? Again, Thanks a lot and CONGRATULATIONS for this job..!!
