Can I use PayPal on BigCommerce?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 1:55 am

According to PayPal, “PayPal Credit is a secured credit line that lets you borrow up to $1,000 in the form of a cash advance. PayPal Credit provides a fast and easy way to get the funds you need to cover your purchases right away.” So, in theory, you could technically use PayPal on BigCommerce. However, PayPal does not currently offer a payment gateway for BigCommerce, so you would have to use a different payment processor like Stripe or Square.

PRO TIP: BigCommerce does not accept PayPal as a payment method. If you try to use PayPal on BigCommerce, your order will be canceled and you will not be able to complete your purchase.

Additionally, PayPal charges a 3.9% + $0.30 fee on each purchase, which could add up quickly. So, unless you have a lot of money to spare and don’t mind paying a bit more in fees, it’s probably not the best option to use PayPal on BigCommerce.
