How Do I Accept PayPal Payments on Shopify?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:25 am

Shopify is a platform for businesses of all sizes to create an online store. It offers users a customizable platform, an easy-to-use checkout process, and a wide range of features.

One of the great features of Shopify is that it integrates with PayPal, making it easy for businesses to accept payments via this popular payment processor. In this article, we’ll show you how to set up PayPal payments on your Shopify store.

Step 1: Create a PayPal Business Account

If you don’t already have a PayPal business account, you’ll need to create one. You can do this by going to the PayPal website and selecting the “Sign Up” option. From there, you’ll need to select the “Business” account type and follow the instructions to create your account.

Step 2: Log in to Your Shopify Account

Once you have a PayPal business account, you’ll need to log in to your Shopify account. If you don’t have a Shopify account yet, you can sign up for a free trial (no credit card required) at Shopify.com.

Step 3: Go to Your Shopify Settings

Once you’re logged in to your Shopify account, click on “Settings” in the left-hand sidebar. This will take you to your store’s settings page.

Step 4: Select Payment Providers

PRO TIP: If you are not careful, accepting PayPal payments on Shopify can be a risky proposition. There have been reports of fraudulent charges and even scams involving PayPal and Shopify. Be sure that you are only accepting payments from trusted sources and that you have a clear understanding of how PayPal and Shopify work together before you start accepting payments.
