PayPal

Many merchants wish to offer their shoppers the ability to pay seamlessly via PayPal, one of the most common payment methods. BlueSnap makes it easy to accept PayPal by connecting your PayPal and BlueSnap accounts. This is available for any BlueSnap solution.

To offer PayPal as a payment option for your shoppers, you must have a PayPal Business or Premier account. If you do not yet have a PayPal account, you can sign up for one on the PayPal website.

• PayPal is not supported when using a checkout page that is embedded in an iframe.

• The total order value must be greater than zero. Therefore, 100 percent coupons are not supported.

Frictionless checkout with automatically populated shopper details
Shoppers already keep their details updated in PayPal, so there is no need to make them re-enter the information during checkout. You can reduce friction by simply retrieving shopper details from PayPal and pre-filling the checkout page.
