FAQ
Common questions about PayPal integration.
Should we offer PayPal alongside Stripe?
For consumer ecommerce — usually yes. A meaningful slice of customers will only pay through PayPal. For B2B and SaaS, Stripe alone is usually sufficient.
Can PayPal sync with our accounting system?
Yes — through both first-party connectors and custom integrations. The custom approach is needed when the default ones miss fees, currency conversion, or dispute handling.
