Some questions for a beginner.

[AD1018]

I wanted to ask some question and thought this was the best place to start. I wanted to know if you can do something like adding additional shipping to more items.

So if I sell a product for 2.95 shipping but the customer buys more than 1 item I want to add an additional .60 for each item, is this possible? 

Can you bulk edit products? When using paypal for checkout does the customer leave the site to pay then return, or are they able to stay on site when paying?

Is it possible to import products from Etsy or a CSV file?

Thank you for taking the time to ready this and help, I do reserve the right for more questions though

If you use Table Rates, you can achieve the shipping goals that you described without an extension. 

In essence, you can use # of Items vs. Destination, and have the first product be $2.95, and then increase shipping by $0.60 for each additional product (so 2 products = $3.55,  3 products = $4.15, etc.)

You can learn more at: https://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/shipping/shipping-table-rate.html

You can bulk edit products. There are ways to do this via API, and via Import, but I'd highly recommend starting with going to Catalog --> Products, selecting some checkboxes, and then going to the <Actions> dropdown menu, and selecting "Update Attributes". This should allow you to bulk edit many fields. Here's a step by step: https://docs.magento.com/m2/2.0/ee/user_guide/catalog/product-attribute-update.html

You can import products to Magento via CSV, but the info must be filled out precisely. I'd recommend adding some products to the store manually. This will help you to add anything you need along the way, like attributes and categories. You can then export these items onto a spreadsheet, and enter the data from Etsy in this precise format, which you can then import. https://docs.magento.com/m2/2.0/ee/user_guide/system/data-import.html?Highlight=product%20import

Regarding PayPal, there's more than one user experience available. I'd recommend chatting with a PayPal rep for more info. For instance, the In-Context checkout will keep the users on your site: https://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/payment/paypal-in-context-checkout.html 

Best of luck!

Thank you @Robert Rand  for you help. If I could ask a couple more questions it would be a great help. I do have Magento 2.3 installed and have been playing around with it learning. I wanted to ask how would I go about connecting my store to FaceBook and Instagram?

Happy to help!

You may want to create that new question as a new post, as there's some nuance to it, and you'd probably get more varied advice from the community. 

In the meantime, there are various levels of connecting Magento and Facebook/Instagram. At a high level, you can integrate tracking pixels with Magento, which can be used for ReMarketing campaigns via the Facebook Ads platform.

There are certainly options for buttons to click over to your social media pages, or to make it fast and easy for shoppers to share your products on their social media pages. 

There are opportunities to display your social media feeds within the Magento site as well.

In terms of connecting product data, which is what I believe you were referring to, there are extensions and services for this. I'm a fan of GoDataFeed, but there's a monthly fee. You could certainly review other extensions and services at https://marketplace.magento.com/ where you can search "facebook" or "instagram", and filter down to the extensions that available for your version of Magento (2.3). This should help you to see what's available so that you can determine what matches your goals the most closely.
