PayPal
PayPal enables customers to make online payments securely using any credit or debit card connected to their PayPal account.
PayPal supports the following checkout experiences:
- Pay Now – Final payment page experience.
Customers complete the payment on the PayPal pop-up. - Continue – Item and basket page experience.
Customers complete the payment on the merchant's order review page - Pay Later payments
Additionally, it supports automatic and manual capture of the payment:
- Use auto capture if your goods or services are available immediately after purchase – for example, digital goods or tickets.
- Use manual capture if your goods or services are not available immediately after purchase – for example, shipped goods.
Using the same PayPal integration, you can also offer Venmo as a payment option.

PayPal's Seller Protection program can help protect you in the event of claims, chargebacks, or reversals raised due to an unauthorized transaction or missing items.
Information
See more information on PayPal's Seller Protection program and your eligibility.
You must provide the customer's full name and address in the payment context request for a transaction to be eligible for Seller Protection.
Typically, digital goods only benefit from Seller Protection if you have an explicit agreement with PayPal. If you have an agreement, you must also provide the processing.partner_customer_risk_data field in your payment context request.
When you perform an eligible test payment, the transaction is marked as Seller Protection-eligible in the Sandbox environment.
