Shirley,

Since your client has a PayPal account, set up two forms:

Paying by check, in which case the user can not submit the form until they have added all of the
items they want to order, which is way the form needs to be open in a new windows.

Paying via PayPal, then use the PayPal Shopping Cart, where each item is added to PayPal. Here is an
example of using PayPal's shopping Cart:
