He can use shopping cart script instead of WP. There are few free ones that can do the job so as better/paid ones...

I think he wants to use WP because of the SEO plugins that are available to all...

Yes, it's possible.
Wordpress + shopping cart plugin and theme + Paypal.

Magento is a shopping cart I use at my mainstream job. The community version is a full version and free. It works well for me and can be integrated into wordpress via a free plugin.

When you add a product, there is a meta tab where you can put individual info for each one:

You can use PayPal, authorize.net, etc and there are plugins for some Euro based processors as well.

Anyway, the wordpress only method may be easier but I am not sure how advanced they were and just figured I would chime in about Magento as another possible option for ya.

Best of luck with it.

Magento has too many options and customizations in my opinion.. Great for some projects, but if you're not looking for a super big shop, wordpress is fine

Whoops! Yeah, I just noticed he was trying to sell one product.
Probably overkill for just one thing

Sorry, carry on.
