  No. That’s more for ecommerce shops and such.

  You can do it with a Contact Form and a Paypal button following the instructions for each in the Support documents.

  Actually you can use the Eventbrite widget as well, and that has registration and payment bundled together.

  Thanks! I’ll look into the Contact Form and the Eventbrite widget. I had been looking at Eventbrite itself as a solution — but they charge a 3% fee for payment processing (which adds up).
