Accept Payments with the PayPal Block

Dan
  • Updated

The Paypal Block makes it easy to use your existing Paypal account to sell directly on your website. With the Paypal Block you can sell in any country Paypal supports allowing for international sales. The Paypal Block is perfect for accepting payments for physical goods, services, tips, and donations.

 

To set up the PayPal block:

1. Add a block to your site by selecting PayPal Block from the block picker in the editor.

2. Sign in to your PayPal account and grant access to Universe. (If you don't have a PayPal account, that's okay! Tap "Sign Up" and create an account within the app.)

3. Use the "Amount" palette to enter a payment amount. The PayPal block enables you to accept pre-configured payment amounts from shoppers on your site.

Once you've added the PayPal block to your site, any payments completed will be processed through PayPal. Visitors to your site will have the option to pay with credit/debit card or through their PayPal account.

After receiving a payment, you and your customer will receive confirmation emails directly from PayPal. View payments, manage disputes, and your customers' contact information directly from your PayPal dashboard. PayPal payments are not displayed within Universe at this time.
