Accept international payments with PayPal

PayPal lets customers outside India pay you online. It appears at checkout as a second online payment option, next to your main payment gateway.

Before you start

  • You need a PayPal business account. Sign up at paypal.com.
  • PayPal is set up for your store by Shopnix. You can't turn it on yourself in Store Manager.

Turn on PayPal

  1. Contact Shopnix support and ask to turn on PayPal as your international payment gateway.
  2. Share the e-mail address of your PayPal account. Payments are sent to this account.
  3. Agree the rupee to US dollar rate that your store should use.
  4. Shopnix sets up PayPal and switches it to live mode, so it takes real payments.

Example

Your store's prices are in rupees. A customer in the USA buys a ₹4,200 kurta and chooses PayPal. PayPal charges the customer in US dollars, using the rate set for your store.
