I just installed the new 2.0 version and everything works great except when I checkout and hit continue to pay with paypal.

I get an "<span style="font-family: monospace;">Input string was not in a correct format" error exception.</span>

<span style="font-family: monospace;">I setup the standard paypal according to the instructions.. Anybody else having issues?</span>

Please make sure you set up shipping method and tax as well.

I setup shipping and said "Don't charge tax" and it still errors out.

More details below...Maybe this will help shed some light on the problem.

It's a bug in the open source edition. Check this thread for the workaround.

Thanks..How much different is the open source version as opposed to the full version when it comes to the actual data? If I started a small store using the open source version and later upgraded, will my transition be easy?

The transition should be very easy if the version is the same for DotShoppingCart Suite and Open Source Edition. However we are constantly reving our DotShoppingCart Suite. You should notice that DotShoppingCart Suite is now V2.1 while Open source edition is still V2.0. The open source edition is not being updated as often as the DotShoppingCart Suite. We only support the migration between DotShoppingCart Suite releases. The cross version migration between open source edition and DotShoppingCart Suite will be tough.

Thanks! One more question.. Is there anyway we can see a demo of the full version before deciding to purchase it?

Sure, send an email to luke at dotshoppingcart.com and we will take this offline from the forums.
