What are the benefits of accepting payments via PayPal World?

PayPal World provides several benefits to merchants PayPal World enables merchants to expand their international reach to billions of additional digital wallet users beyond those supported by their current wallet processor. Most merchants can accept payments from PayPal World participants without the need for additional integrations. Existing integrations with your wallet platform, such as PayPal, can be used to access PayPal World, provided you’re on the latest version. Gain the ability to unlock strategic use cases such as Agentic commerce, subscriptions for cross-border users, among others.

How much does it cost me to accept payments via PayPal World?

PayPal World will not charge merchants any fees to accept payments as there is no contractual relationship between merchants and PayPal World. Merchants will continue to maintain their contractual relationship with their wallet platform / processor / acquirer (e.g., PayPal) who will determine fees charged to merchants.

How do I start accepting payments using PayPal World?

Merchants don’t need to directly onboard with PayPal World. Once your wallet platform / processor / acquirer is onboarded onto PayPal World as a participant, and your processor / acquirer enables the relevant integration with PayPal World, all merchants integrated with that processor / acquirer will be ready to accept payments via PayPal World. Merchants generally will not need to add any new integrations to enable this. You should work with your processor / acquirer to understand when they will be integrating with PayPal World and what the ramp plan is. If you are onboarded onto PayPal Checkout, reach out to your relevant PayPal representative. If you are not integrated with a PayPal World participant, you would need to register with a PayPal World participant first. Note that the contractual relationship of merchants will continue to be with their wallet platform / processor / acquirer, not with PayPal World. Your wallet provider (e.g., PayPal) will have a contractual relationship with PayPal World.
