If you have integrated PayPal into your Payrexx account, customers can select PayPal as a payment method in the checkout. They will be forwarded directly to their PayPal account, where they have stored a debit or credit card or another payment method. They can select this and pay directly in your online store.

As a complete solution, PayPal includes all common credit and debit cards from Amex, Mastercard, Visa and Discover. It also includes mobile wallets such as Google Pay™ and Apple Pay®.

Furthermore, many country-specific payment methods are part of the PayPal network, such as eps, Blik or MyBank. These help you to reach international customers and at the same time give your business a local character.

Depending on the location of your PayPal account, you can also offer the popular payment methods "Purchase on account"¹ and "Pay later". The best thing about it: You don't have to wait for your money, because you receive it directly from PayPal via Payrexx.

Activating PayPal with Payrexx is quick and easy. As soon as you have logged into your Payrexx account, you can activate and configure PayPal as a third-party provider under "Payment processors". Now all you have to do is connect your PayPal account and customers can select PayPal as a payment method in the Payrexx checkout.

You can find detailed step-by-step instructions for implementing PayPal via Payrexx in the documentation.

Yes, you can also use PayPal for your online store as a Swiss merchant. At least for one-off payments.

Recurring payments (subscriptions) or tokenizations (for "purchase on account" or "purchase in instalments"), however, are only possible with PayPal if your PayPal account is registered in an approved country. Unfortunately, Switzerland is not one of them.

A list of all approved countries can be found in the documentation.

If your customers pay via PayPal, you will receive their money safely and promptly.

The exact period depends on the payout rhythm that is set for your Payrexx account. For new Payrexx merchants, the payout interval is set to monthly by default, but this can also be changed to weekly or daily. Please contact the support team directly.

Creating and using a PayPal account is generally free of charge for merchants. However, transaction fees are charged for each payment. You can find out exactly what these fees are on the PayPal website.
