    PayPal is establishing itself as a trusted standard for online payments. Its major advantage: simplicity for the end user. No need to enter your bank details — just connect to your PayPal account to pay in a few clicks.

    On the business side, it is a quick solution to set up, ideal for testing an offer, selling a one-off product, or offer a complementary alternative to Stripe. The management interface is simple and allows you to track payments, reimburse a customer, or manage disputes.

    PayPal is also particularly interesting for international sales, thanks to its native currency conversion management, its billing tools, and its reassuring image among buyers.

    How does PayPal work?

    To collect a payment, you can:

    • Create a payment link to be sent by email or to be integrated into a button.
    • Use PayPal Checkout, a payment solution that can be integrated on site.
    • Add PayPal to a site via an embed or a plugin (Shopify, WooCommerce, Webflow...).

    PayPal takes a commission on each transaction, which varies according to the country, currency and type of payment. You can manage your activity via the PayPal Business dashboard: payment tracking, customer history, refunds, invoice generation, dispute management.
