[HELP] Use paypal as payment gateway in e-commerce

[dungcon]

I am currently making an ecommerce website using woocommerce

I only use paypal as payment gateway

But I have heard that using paypal will not be stable (may have money hold or account lockout). My account has been upgraded to business and used for 5 years

Anyone who has experience in this matter can guide me?

Thank all

If you don't do shady things there is no reason they ban you. I am using PayPal buttons without any problems since many years.

Use legit account with proper documentation

I source from ali and are low priced items <$ 10
I will also install the terms, legal at checkout
In general, there will be no shady or illegal things here. The problem I am worried about is that there will be some customers who complain about bogus issues (for example, receiving the goods but the notice has not been received for a refund ...)

Use legit account with proper documentation

Yes . This is my account used for over 5 years and the received amount is ~ 50k $

If you are shipping actual products, you won't have any problem. I mean If you can get a receipt of the delivery. But still its gaypal, you never know.

I send customers real products. The quality is good value for money. I emailed paypal about this issue. They say they have a policy to protect the seller with a few requirements

I will learn more

If I was you, I would never choose WooCommerce to run my business. I think you choose other platforms like ShopBase. They have their own gateway payment (ShopBase Payment by Stripe).

Please update the thread with the things you've learned from them.
An aged business account shouldn't have any issue but it's gaypal as Nut-Nights said above. They can hold anyone without a reason that might seem valid to us. I'm also planning to start similar with a premier account.

WooCommerce is a WP plugin not a platform and I cannot register stripe in my country

I have a job so I will grow my e-commerce website slowly. And I think if I do not cheat customers I will not be locked account because paypal will receive money transfer fee and that's what they want

You have a 5-year-old Business account. If you're operating a legitimate eCommerce business with verifiable shipments you should have no issues.

My paypal account is 5 years old and I have just upgraded it to a business account for over a year ( I have a shopify store for almost a year )

And sure. I work legally

Thank for info

Keep in mind paypal don't allow dropshipping, they closed an account of mine a few years ago for this reason

Why not use stripe as well?

Stripe doesn't support dropshipping

I though stripe did drop shipping just longer holds?

Stripe doesn't support dropshipping

So what payment processor is best for dropshipping

Banks offer payment gateways for pros, it's a better solution to the dropshipping route. But be careful of complaints/refunds/chargebacks, sell a legit product. Because if a bank bans you then you will struggle finding another one

If you use PayPal it gives your costumers a big secure feeling, and they will order more.
If your PayPal is 5 years old Business one, then you won't have any trouble until you start to scale your business and you reach the daily 1500-2000usd. If you do so, they will put you on hold!
I used only once PayPal when I sold high priced items on Amazon. Since then, I rather eat shit and jump out of the window than using PayPal ever again.
But best of luck to you bro!

You have very bad experience with gaypal I see!

I had contacted stripe for my dropshipping business. The support says that they don't allow this type of high risk business.
However, some people still managed to use stripe by hiding their activities or not disclosing the nature of business. I don't know how they manage.
