Accept Nonfixed Payments for More Flexibility
Service-based businesses will love the ability to accept deposits, installments, commissions, payments for services rendered, accounts payable, and more. Simply display the PayPal button on your site, and you can accept credit card payments of any size from your customers.

How Does It Work?

1. Sign up for PayPal.
2. Add the PayPal button to your site. To do this, you'll copy some HTML code from PayPal and paste it into the page of your site where you'd like the button to appear. (The easiest way to do this is to add it to an Advanced homepage or custom page.)
3. Republish your site.
4. Buyers will click on the PayPal button to pay for your services. (When customers become PayPal members, you earn $5 for each new referral!)
5. The buyer returns to your web site immediately.

How Does PayPal Compare to a Merchant Account?
PayPal payment processing and a merchant account offer different features for different types of businesses.

Serious retailers need merchant accounts, with the accompanying benefits of an integrated shopping cart and order management. This means that when customers send a payment via PayPal, PayPal can't detail the items in the order, calculate tax and shipping rates, display shipping options, or generate confirmation emails.

We recommend PayPal to service-based businesses interested in accepting flexible payments, and to retailers willing to accept the sales tax and shipping burden in order to offer an additional payment alternative alongside their shopping carts.
