Boosting Your SuiteCommerce Business With PayPal

There are many reasons why cart abandonment rates in eCommerce can reach up to 70% on average. Some reasons we can somewhat control, some we just have to accept aren’t in our hands. To help lower the number of potential clients who change their minds or leave checkout last minute, offering as many payment options as possible is key. Today, we tell you how to integrate PayPal into your SuiteCommerce site and how it can help boost your revenue.

The Benefits of Using PayPal for SuiteCommerce

As we said, broadening the payment options at checkout can make a big difference when it comes to closing a sale. Now, there are a lot of payment gateways to choose from, and today we’ll talk about why PayPal is a great option for SuiteCommerce.

We all know PayPal. It was founded 25 years ago and now has over 400 million users. PayPal’s market share in the online payment processing industry is 43.85%, followed by Stripe, and it processes an average of 41 million transactions every single day. 

We can definitely say PayPal is a well-known, trusted company with a massive user base, which makes it a great choice for eCommerce businesses looking for a trustworthy, safe payment gateway that most users will feel comfortable and familiar with.
