I accepts MC/VISA/AMEX. I love how it can sent a few prompts and it will accept a variety of pay types. It really makes it easy for me to build a script to extract and use the payment info > > **Cons**: Can be as nosey about what the purchases are of, like the credit card companys. One of my biggest beef areas has been with AI renders. Paypal will not accept payments for certain places due to the possibility of rendereding NSFW content. This does seenm a bit nosy. > > I started using paypal ever since the early days of Ebay. I have always had a good experience with using Paypal. It can handle global currencies as well have off a bit of customer support/security for your purposes. ----- ### "PayPal for small business owners and entrepreneurs" — 5.0/5 > **Mackenzie** | *22 December 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like that I was able to integrate PayPal into my Shopify account. More importantly, I also like that I was able to customize my PayPal home screen to align with my branding. More importantly, I like that I’m able to obtain a PayPal card so that the funds can remain in my PayPal account and I can use the money as needed. I also like the protections that both the buyer and the seller received when using PayPal. In addition, I like that PayPal already has features such as paying Pay In 4 that the customer can use when making purchases with my business. > > **Cons**: To get PayPal exactly how I wanted to set up with my Shopify. I did have to do some very basic coding, but that is the only thing that I would say I dislike about the platform. > > I will give the experience a 10 out of 10. When using a platform like PayPal, you are simply integrating your business into theirs. You don’t have to do a lot of buildout simply customize the PayPal platform to align with your needs. I like the additional features that they roll out such as PayPal cash for customers that they can use at your store, the customer will receive a receipt when checking out, there’s already branding that you can add to your platform that allows you to align with the PayPal brand as a trusted business owner. ----- ### "Easy to Use and Widely Trusted" — 5.0/5 > **Ruth** | *22 March 2026* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: It’s a payment platform that allows me to accept customers payments online, on app or in store. I can manage it all in one place and have the icon on my website. > > **Cons**: Temporary holds and high fees make it less likely to use it depending on the timeliness of the transactions > > I really like the functionality and being able to accept global payments. It’s really efficient most of the time. ----- ### "Dont give you money to PayPal" — 2.0/5 > **Wendy** | *6 November 2025* | Airlines/Aviation | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: I do not recommend Paypal, they charge you more than other apps and they keep your money trapped for a long period of time. ----- Page: 1 / 21\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/179252/paypal-checkout?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.com.au/software/179252/paypal-checkout) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
