Payments and checkout

About PayPal

Online payments and checkout button that many buyers already use, with options for cards and pay later.

PayPal is one of the oldest online payment services. Shoppers can pay with a PayPal balance, a linked card or bank account, or a pay-later option, often without typing card details. For sellers, PayPal adds a checkout button to a store, sends invoices, and offers card processing under its own brand.

Many first-time sellers add PayPal because so many buyers already have accounts, and a familiar button at checkout can make a new shop feel safer to buy from. Most store builders support it as an extra payment method next to card processing.

Check the fees for each payment type and country, how and when funds become available, the rules on account holds for new sellers, and how disputes work. Read the seller protection terms for the kind of goods you sell.
