Paypal

Intro

PayPal is a wallet which offers its consumers the option to pay online. The consumers can fund their wallet or choose to pay with their preconfigured payment method.

Our platform offers you the possibility to easily accept PayPal payments online. When your consumers choose to pay by PayPal, they are redirected to their PayPal account to confirm the order information and payment method. Next, we process the transaction through PayPal and transaction feedback is provided by PayPal. A real-time confirmation message is provided to both you and the consumer which contains the payment status.

Our platform has one of the most extensive integrations with PayPal available and is integrated to PayPal’s Express Checkout interface. You can choose between Express Checkout Shortcut (ECS) or Express Checkout Mark (ECM) as integration options.
