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.
• Increase buying power. PayPal Credit may lift sales and order sizes by giving customers the flexibility to pay overtime. 21% of PayPal Credit users say they spent more online because PayPal Credit was available.³
• 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.
