Setting up PayPal on your website
PayPal is a well-known and trusted online payment method. PayPal offers Buyer & Seller Protection which inspires confidence and trust when customers make a purchase decision. You can read more about using PayPal here.
Please note!
In order to have PayPal as a payment method on your website, you must have a PayPal business account.
PayPal allows customers to checkout straight from your website's cart page. This means customers log into PayPal once and can check out without re-entering their password or payment details. This decreases the amount of time it takes for a customer to checkout on your website and can help increase your conversions.
It is strongly recommended that you offer the 'PayPal Checkout' payment method on your website.

Once you have finished the setup process, PayPal will automatically be activated on your website. You don’t need to do anything else. A 'PayPal Checkout' button will automatically display on your website’s shopping cart page which allows users to bypass the normal checkout process if they want to.
Important!
Once you have activated PayPal test it in your store to make sure it is working correctly.
