About PayPal

General information about PayPal

PayPal has remained at the forefront of the digital payment revolution for more than 20 years. By leveraging technology to make financial services and commerce more convenient, affordable, and secure, the PayPal platform is empowering more than 425 million costomers and merchants in more than 200 markets to join and thrive in the global economy.

Customers in Germany can pay via direct debit, giropay or credit card (American Express, Diners Club, Discover, MasterCard, Visa). Members log into their PayPal account with their email address and a password during checkout and choose the preferred funding source - direct debit, credit card, PayPal credit (Pay Later) and, if applicable purchase on account or by instalment.

PayPal Shortcut (former "Express Checkout Shortcut (ECS)")

offers the PayPal Shortcut to shorten the order process: Your customer does not need to enter any address data but rather click on Checkout with PayPal in the shopping cart area, log on and select the invoice- and delivery address retained by PayPal.

then sends the delivery address as a result parameter back to your shop.

Buyers and vendors are protected

PayPal offers buyers and merchants extensive buyer/vendor protection in case "Pay with PayPal" is used as payment method (this excludes alternative payment methods). Buyers are able to claim money back from PayPal in the event of non-fulfilment of a contract of sale. With address verification and PayPal seller protection PayPal removes the merchant of the risk of payment failures in the case of direct debit payments, German credit card payments and unjustified customer complaints. Vendor protection is always linked to PayPal rules and conditions. PayPal risk management with buyer protection and address verification is provided to you via the

Payment online globally

PayPal is particularly beneficial for overseas customer acquisition.

PageWithExcerptWording
supports all currencies and markets offered by PayPal. In many countries PayPal offers customers typical payment methods for their country. Customers abroad can often use typical payment methods such as prepaid cards in Italy or debit cards in the UK. Integrating PayPal into your shop provides the option to present your customers several payment methods at once. Of course you are also free to just present "Pay with PayPal" only.

Advantages of Orders V2 ("PayPal Checkout")

Orders V2 has the following advantages against PayPal NVP and SOAP.

  • Orders V2 is the basis for any future development of products and featured by PayPal. PayPal will not develop any new feature/extend existing functionality based on PayPal NVP and SOAP anymore.
  • Orders V2 adheres to the latest compliance standards.
  • Orders V2 offers smoother checkout process using a lightbox (by using JS SDK, so-called "PayPal Mini Browser"), a window overlay that appears on top of the merchant’s online shop page. This allows the customer to stay on merchant's page and to not lose focus.


Further information can be found on the webpage of PayPal (https://www.paypal.com).
