Paypal Payments Pro Integrated

Paypal Payments Pro, an often requested gateway, is now integrated with Shopify. This service allows you to accept credit cards directly on your website just like a merchant account.

Here is the scoop:

  • Accept credit card payments directly on your website; PayPal processes payments in the background, so you control the customer experience.
  • Allow PayPal account holders to check out fast with saved information, plus, you may gain incremental sales from our growing base of more than 100 million user accounts in 103 countries and regions.

  • Take advantage of comprehensive online reports that help you measure sales and manage your business easily.
