Accept payments with PayPal
PayPal is the payment button hundreds of millions of people already trust. Connect an existing PayPal business account and let buyers check out with a balance, a linked bank, or a card — without typing details into a checkout they've never seen before.
About PayPal
Headquarters
PayPal Holdings, Inc. is headquartered in San Jose, California, United States.
Founded
1998. PayPal was acquired by eBay in 2002 and spun back out as an independent public company in 2015.
Ownership
Publicly traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker PYPL. No single parent company.
Scale
Over 400 million active accounts and tens of thousands of employees worldwide, operating in more than 200 markets.
Sellers pick PayPal because so many buyers already have an account logged in on their phone. That familiarity often converts browsers who would otherwise hesitate to hand a new site their card number.
How to get a PayPal business account
1. Sign up online
Register directly at paypal.com and choose a business account. There's no branch or reseller involved — it's entirely self-serve.
2. Enter your business details
Provide your legal business name (or your own name if you operate as a sole trader), business type, and industry.
3. Verify your identity
PayPal typically asks for a government ID for the account holder, and for registered companies, formation documents and a tax ID.
4. Link a bank account or card
This is where withdrawals land, and PayPal may run small verification deposits to confirm it.
5. Wait for verification
Many accounts can send and receive right away, though PayPal sometimes holds an account or asks for extra documents before lifting limits — this generally resolves within a few days.

1. Connect your PayPal account
From TinyVendor's payment settings, click connect PayPal and log in to authorize your existing PayPal business account. There's no separate credential to copy or paste.

4. Buyers pay through PayPal
A buyer who chooses PayPal is redirected to complete payment there, then returned once it clears. No card data ever touches TinyVendor or you — there's no PCI scope on your side.
5. Get paid
Funds land directly in your own connected PayPal account, ready to withdraw on PayPal's normal schedule.
6. See the order in your dashboard
Once the payment completes, the order appears in TinyVendor instantly, with buyer, amount, and status — no need to cross-check PayPal separately.
Questions
What does TinyVendor charge on top of PayPal's fees?
2% of a sale on the Basic plan, 1% on Pro and 0.5% on Max, with no monthly fee. PayPal bills its own processing fees separately, at the rates on your PayPal account.
How do I get a PayPal business account?
You sign up directly at paypal.com and choose a business account during registration — no branch visit or reseller is involved. PayPal verifies your identity and business details before lifting full sending and receiving limits.
Do I need to write any code to accept PayPal on TinyVendor?
No. You connect your PayPal business account once in TinyVendor's payment settings, and every sell link you create afterward can offer PayPal at checkout automatically.
Does PayPal on TinyVendor support installment payments?
Not through TinyVendor. Sell links charge the full price at checkout; sellers who need installment plans for Turkish buyers typically add a local option like QNB Turkiye VPOS alongside PayPal.
