1) You are selling via Paypal, and are going to be using DAP-generated Buy Buttons
2) You are selling via Authorize.net or Paypal Website Payments Pro
1) You are selling via Paypal, BUT are going to be using Paypal-hosted Buy Buttons (generated from within your Paypal account)
2) You are selling via any of the other supported external carts like:
1ShoppingCart, 1SiteAutomation, e-Junkie, etc.
So in this case, you can just leave the price at whatever price you want. DAP will ignore it. DAP will blindly accept the price provided by the external cart or payment processor you're using.
