PayPal is a payment system that allows payments through credit or debit cards, PayPal balances, or credit. When you create a SHOPLINE store, you are able to authorise your PayPal account in one click.
If you do not have a PayPal account yet, you can create a PayPal account to accept online payments immediately from any incoming transaction.
When authorising, you can specify another PayPal account to receive payments if you already have a different one.
To use PayPal in your store, you need a Business PayPal account. Most functions and tools provided by PayPal for business owners are only available on business accounts.
