How does PayPal work as a payment method for online stores?
With PayPal, customers can pay online using their email address and password, without sharing their card or bank details. The payment is made from their PayPal balance or linked bank account or credit card, and you, as the merchant, receive immediate confirmation of the transaction.
PayPal is known for its ease of use and fast checkout, especially for mobile purchases. It also offers buyer protection, which gives many consumers confidence in their purchase. This makes it an excellent payment method if you want to serve customers both domestically and abroad, or if you sell digital products or services.
Integration is easy via a PSP or directly via a PayPal Business account. Many webshop platforms offer standard connections, such as Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento.
How much does a payment via PayPal cost?
PayPal is slightly more expensive than most local payment methods. The standard rates are around 2.9% + $0.35 per transaction, depending on your monthly volume, the buyer's country, and currency conversion. Additional fees may apply for international payments, such as exchange rate margins. Nevertheless, many webshops consciously choose PayPal because of its wide reach, user-friendliness, and high conversion rate on mobile devices.
Which Payment Service Providers support PayPal as a payment method?
PayPal is supported by a wide range of Payment Service Providers, including Mollie, MultiSafepay, Buckaroo, Pay., and Adyen. With most PSPs, you can easily activate PayPal via your dashboard or during your onboarding process. Direct integration with PayPal via your own business account is also possible, but you will then miss out on the convenience of centralized management via your Payment Service Provider.
