PayPal Integration

Overview

PayPal Checkout lets shoppers pay using their PayPal balance, Venmo, Pay Later (installments), or a card processed by PayPal. It is particularly valuable in Germany, Netherlands, and Brazil where PayPal is the dominant payment method, and in any market where customers prefer not to enter card details. All major platforms have official PayPal integrations that require only credentials — no custom code needed for standard checkout.

When to Use This Skill

• When adding PayPal as a payment option alongside a card processor
• When implementing PayPal Express Checkout on the product page or cart (reduces steps to purchase)
• When targeting markets where PayPal is the dominant payment method (Germany, Netherlands, Brazil)
• When adding Venmo or Pay Later (installments) to appeal to younger shoppers
