Calguys Ecommerce Base - Help with Paypal Checkout Button

I have Calguys Ecommerce Base installed with Cart, Order Manager and the Paypal Gateway. All of the settings are setup correctly in each of the modules including my Paypal email and PDT Identity Token.

So far I have built the store to the point where I can add and view items in my cart. The view cart has SUBMIT and REMOVE buttons at the bottom. How do I add a CHECKOUT button for Paypal?

I am not using any user logins with the store and all checkouts are set to anonymous. I would just like to add a CHECKOUT button which sends users to the paypal checkout to complete the order.

I assume that this is a piece of code to be added to the "Viewcart Form Template" in the CART settings. I just don't know what to add.

Please help !

I figured out that I needed to create a "Checkout" page before the link showed up.

However, all I am trying to do is have a user add items to their cart then click a checkout button that takes them over to paypal with all of their cart info. This is similar to how any BigCartel site works.

They don't even need to type in their info within CMSMS.

Any ideas on the best way to achieve this fucntionality ?

I also noticed that the ORDER MANGER has a bug in it. It says in the billing form template comments to use CSS in order to NOT display the shipping info if you won't need it.

HOWEVER, if a user forgets to type in their ZIP code in the billing section and clicks next then the system never seems to add it into the shipping info and there is no where to enter it now that the shipping info is taken off the page.

How to I modify the ORDER MANAGER so a user does not need to enter any shipping info ?
