Take a look at today’s most innovative companies: The Grubhubs. The Fandangos. The Snapfishes. The Spotifys. Organizations that are shifting paradigms and reshaping entire industries. They all share one thing in common: They don’t see PayPal as just a button. They work with PayPal to help grow, compete and thrive.

PayPal is a Button Swiss Army Knife.

In many ways, PayPal is the Swiss Army Knife of payment processing, with dozens of powerful tools hidden beneath the surface. No. We don’t offer a corkscrew and a toothpick. But we have solutions to help large enterprises drive revenue, manage risk, accelerate growth, and more. 
 
It’s not just retailers and tech companies that are taking advantage of our suite of offerings. Many traditional organizations, across a wide range of industries — including healthcare, financial services, education, and government — are using our tools to modernize and orchestrate their payments.

PayPal is a Button Revenue Driver.

Payment processing was once seen as “plumbing” or a “cost of doing business.” But CEOs and CFOs of enterprise companies are now realizing that a comprehensive payment platform can help drive revenue growth. Here are five ways you can help increase revenue with PayPal.
  • Access more customers and markets. PayPal has over 280 million active accounts and has processed over a trillion transactions around the world 1. You can boost revenue by tapping into these customers. 
  • Help boost conversion rates. PayPal can help you reduce cart abandonment rates by up to 33%2 by delivering fast, seamless, mobile-first commerce experiences that eliminates the need for buyers to re-enter login, shipping and payment information.
  • Gain more subscribers and repeat customers. PayPal makes it easy to accept recurring payments for your products or services, so you can replace one-time purchases with a more consistent revenue stream. We can also help you implement a loyalty program that rewards customers at the point of sale.
  • Sell third-party services. PayPal’s vault and payment forwarding API lets you sell ancillary services from third parties (e.g. product and travel insurance) without leaving your site or apps.

PayPal is a Button Force Field.

PayPal understands that cybersecurity isn’t about bits and bytes, it’s about people. We want your customers to feel safe, so protecting their personal information is our top priority. That’s why we developed a powerful set of tools to help prevent fraud and reduce risk, including:
  • The Highest Level of PCI Compliance.  PayPal is a validated Level 1 PCI DSS compliant service provider, the highest level of protection from cybercriminals. We continually upgrade our security standards, so we’re ready when new threats emerge.
  • Advanced Fraud Tools. PayPal doesn’t just stop at address verification and CVV, we harness decades of intelligence and offer the best-in-class5 machine learning of our Simility Fraud Protection product to help reduce fraud along the entire customer journey may be available on certain transactions.6
  • Help Reduced Chargebacks. Imagine if you didn’t have to devote as many people to managing chargebacks and disputes. With 3D Secure, you can shift the liability for certain fraudulent chargebacks from the merchant to the issuer. Limits apply7
