Advantages of PayPal
• Your customers do not need to pay any fees for using PayPal.
• They do not have to enter their bank details for every payment and can pay for their purchases
by card, bank account, or directly with their PayPal balance, up to 26 currencies.
• It is so easy and secure that 148 million users** worldwide have already chosen to make
payments with PayPal. By accepting a wide range of payment methods, your business gains
strength and your customers pay with full confidence.
With PayPal:
• You opt for a clear fee schedule, with no hidden costs: you pay a commission for each
transaction whenever you receive a payment. The more you sell, the lower the commission.
• You are already selling on mobile devices: your payment page automatically adapts (thanks to
automatic detection on the PayPal payment page).

What is the difference between the two types of payment: direct and authorization?
The direct mode means that the money moves instantly from the buyer’s account to the seller’s
account at the time of payment. The authorized mode is a deferred mode of payment that
requires the funds to be collected manually when you want to transfer the money. This mode is
used if you want to ensure that you have the merchandise before depositing the money, for
example. Be careful, you have 29 days to collect the funds.
Why is the shortcut button not displayed when I activate it in the module?
Check that the graphic theme that you use allows for display of the PayPal button.
