Hello! I am setting up a sell on social item, but it doesn't have a place for me to input the quantity of the item. Is it possible to do that? Or do I need to make a new listing each time someone buys it? Also, if people want to purchase more than 1 in a transaction, how will that work?

Good day @randi827
Thank you for posting to the PayPal community.
It is the functionality of the "Sell on Social" product.
In order to meet your specific requirements, I recommend utilizing alternative PayPal buttons. These buttons will enable you to achieve your desired outcome.
We recommend merchants to integrate our latest PayPal Checkout (Smart button) product.
I would suggest to please use the https://developer.paypal.com/integration-builder/ to generate button code and use on your website.

Merchant should first perform Create Order API( https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_create) call and then redirect the customer/buyer to "approve" URL.
Once the order is approved by the customer/buyer, merchant should perform Capture Order ( https://developer.paypal.com/docs/api/orders/v2/#orders_capture) API call and customer/buyer should pass the valid funding source.

Note : PayPal provides multiple products and merchants can integrate them based on the requirement.
Please follow below steps via PayPal Business account to explore other integrations.
Login PayPal.com >> click on "settings icon" >> go to "Account settings" >> Website payments >> PayPal buttons >> select button type >> fill the required details.
(Or)
Login PayPal.com >> go to direct link "https://www.paypal.com/buttons/" >> follow the above steps.
