With Magento Community edition and Paypal, you are not only able to accept payment from other Paypal account holders, but you also can accept payment from any debit and credit cards. Not to mention, people do not need to have a Paypal account in order to use Paypal service in the first place, so both you and the customers can get more benefit with less effort.
If you never use Paypal before, you may be wondering why there are so many people out there who like to use Paypal or even use Paypal for their only online payment method. There are benefits that Paypal can offer to you :

  • Flexibility

Imagine how embarrassing it would be when you decide to use your credit card to buy items or services online but then the card gets rejected.  With Paypal, you do not need to experience that problem anymore. You can set up multiple credit cards, bank accounts, and debit cards to fund your Paypal account. That is mean, you always can be rest assured that the purchases with Paypal will always come through (because there would be more than one choice there).

 

  • Credit card security

Believe it or not, credit card security still becomes one of the common reason why people prefer to buy things offline instead of online. When you create a new Paypal account, you need to type in the credit card and bank account that you wish to use for your online purchases on the Paypal secure system.

When that step is finished, there is no need for you to disclosure your credit card information ever again (unless you decide to stop using your Paypal account).

 

  • Cost-free

This is probably one of the best benefits that you can get from using Paypal as your main online payment method. Yes, you do not need to pay for processing fees, annual membership fees, or any service charges. Using Paypal means that you can get all those amazing benefits which associated with the service and there is no need to pay at all.
