The AGPL license is banned by Google, and perhaps many others. There
are other packages for handling payments, many with a saner license
and available for free, so you’ll be pretty unsuccessful.

Also, this line looks unconvincing:

# This is a quick hack. For serious work use
https://github.com/paypal/PayPal-Python-SDK instead.

Your website is ugly, uses default browser styles, and to me it feels
like you don’t pay attention to important stuff. That’s not someone
who I’d trust to do payments right.
