Can I have a store with it only, without Stripe or 2Checkout?

What are the pros and cons of having just PayPal?

Thanks
 
My store has been running PayPal only for quite a long time, no complain whatsoever , it just works. Pretty solid actually, no one really complaints about payment issue
 
I'd say that is the easiest and fastest way to get started
 
If you're from a country, where you can accept credit card payments with PayPal besides the PayPal payments, it can be enough, yes. If not, you might want to have an additional gateway, where people can pay via cc.

The pros and cons of PayPal is probably one of the most discussed subjects here. Look into it and draw the conclusions, because nothing really new can be said.

How do I check if I can accept credit card payments with PayPal besides the PayPal payments?

I've seen that one con of PayPal is that it can hold your money for no reason? Does that happen often in your knowledge? Is that why people look for other payment processors?

Thanks. If that's the case, why are people using Stripe or 2Checkout on top of Paypal in their stores?
 
i had PayPal and Shopify payments for Cards. Not sure if you're using Shopify though. But Paypal alone should work just fine if you cant really get a proper Card processor.

Either they can't accept credit card payments with PayPal or other processors might charge less for cc payments. Or they think, that the fraud prevention is better with other processors.
 
I recall hearing in some video that having PayPal only causes trust issues with buyers and reduce conversions because some people are reluctant to pay with their credit cards on PayPal. Is this just not true at all?
 
Depending on the country you live in, Paypal should be enough. In some countries, Paypal might be picky about credit cards. In that case, try Stripe.

How do I check for my country?
 
PayPal can freeze your money at some point for 180 days. Relying on them is super risky, since they don’t like dropshipping. From a sellers POV PayPal is the worst.
 
You need a Paypal business account in order to use it as a payment gateway on Shopify.
Which is the fastest way to get verified as a company with a Paypal account?
Without opening a real company I mean. Stealth Paypal Business account would work?
 
Depends if you gonna run your ads to the USA or WW. You will run into problems with Paypal way faster than when using Stripe. So make sure you have a backup when you start scaling.
 
Hi first of all paypal is not supported all countries. Beside due to dispute option active on paypal many buyer and seller does not fever paypal as payment gateway. Moreover, you can use payoneer, PM, nettler etc
