PayPal & Venmo Payment Methods

Digital wallets and alternative payment options are seeing continuous growth around the world. Accelerated by the pandemic, consumers’ payment preferences are moving away from cash and other traditional payment methods in favor of flexible and seamless payment options.

As PayPal is the most popular digital wallet in the United States, it is more vital than ever for merchants to start accepting PayPal and Venmo across all channels.

When you offer PayPal and Venmo payment options in-store and online, you see the benefits of providing preferred payment options, including:

  • An elevated customer experience
  • Increased conversion rates
  • A seamless and touchless checkout experience
  • Attract new customers
  • Provide a cohesive checkout experience online and in-store
  • And more

Why Accept PayPal?

Most Popular Wallet

PayPal is the most popular digital wallet in the United States, reaching over 400 million active users across 200 countries. Because of PayPal’s popularity and reputation, there is a 54% increase in consumer willingness to buy when PayPal is available as a checkout option. When buying in situations where consumers have increased concerns — like on mobile, across borders, from unfamiliar brands, and when buying high-priced items — the effect of accepting PayPal is even greater.

Frictionless Process

Accepting PayPal in-store provides an easy, safe, and touch-free checkout experience for customers. PayPal users simply open their PayPal app to scan the merchant’s QR code at checkout. 

For online purchases, customers select PayPal at checkout, log into their PayPal account, then confirm the purchase. No need to input any payment credentials.

QR Checkout

Providing PayPal at checkout allows you to tap into the global brand’s millions of loyal users and benefit from PayPal’s brand recognition. For example, an IPSOS study found that 59% of people who use PayPal said they have abandoned a transaction because PayPal wasn’t there.

Why Accept Venmo?

Popular Digital Wallet

Venmo is a popular digital wallet that is owned by PayPal. Venmo started as a P2P payment app that allows family and friends to easily send money to one another bypassing cash or checks. Since then, Venmo has expanded to offering a Venmo credit card, supporting the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies, and business transactions.

QR Code Purchases

Venmo can be used to make purchases in apps, online stores, and in-store. Like the seamless in-store checkout process for PayPal, merchants scan the Venmo QR code the customers display in the Venmo app or have customers scan the merchant displayed QR code with their phone.

Unique Benefits

While Venmo has a smaller user base than PayPal, merchants can offer their customers some unique benefits by accepting Venmo as a payment method, including:
