It pays to PayPal

Get instant access to funds in your PayPal business account while payment is processing. Save time and money with fraud detection and Seller Protection features†.

Plus, you’ll meet global compliance standards (such as PCI, PSD2, SCA, and 3D Secure), bringing international markets within reach.

Shoppers are nearly three times more likely to buy when you offer PayPal.¹ Increase conversions by automatically displaying PayPal buttons on product pages, in-cart, and at checkout.

PayPal Pay Later options help boost conversion rates and increase cart sizes by 39%.² Let customers pay over time while you get paid upfront — at no additional cost. Available in select countries. Learn more about Pay Later messaging.

Venmo users spend 2.2 times more annually on online purchases than other online buyers.³ Now you can reach Venmo shoppers (US only) and allow them to share their purchases with friends.

Country-specific payments

  • Standard Card Processing: Suitable for all business and personal seller accounts. Card transactions are managed via a prebuilt user experience, simplifying compliance.
  • Advanced Card Processing: Customize the look, feel, and placement of debit and credit card payment fields. You can also use fraud protection tools to set up personal risk tolerance filters.

Drive repeat business for stable, predictable income using WooCommerce Subscriptions or PayPal Subscriptions.

You can also use PayPal’s Vaulting feature to:

  • Offer flexible plans with fixed or quantity-based pricing.
  • Set billing cycles for any period.
  • Offer discounted trial periods or prorated payments.

With no monthly or setup fees, it’s simple for your customers — and great for your business (account approval required).
