How do I enable PayPal in my Online Shop?

You can offer PayPal as a payment option in your Online Shop. This guide will show you how to enable it.

Note: If you have an existing PayPal connection with a private account, you'll need to disconnect that first and then reconnect using the second option in step 2.

Step 1 - Enable PayPal in your Online Shop dashboard

  1. Go to your Online Shop dashboard via the one.com control panel.
  2. Go to Settings in the menu to the left and select Payment.
  3. Slide the toggle for PayPal.

Step 2 - Connect your PayPal account

You can now connect an existing PayPal account or create a new one from scratch. Please choose the option below that suits your needs:

Create and connect a new user

  1. Click Connect in the window that appears.
  2. The PayPal platform will open in a new window. Enter the email address you want to use for your PayPal user.
  3. Follow the setup flow on the screen. You'll be asked to provide basic details about your company.
  4. Once you've finished the flow and created your account, click Go back to one.com.
  5. Activate your PayPal account via the link you've received from them via email. You can also activate your account through Paypal's website. 

Connect an existing user (private account)

Note: You can only connect a PayPal business account to your Online Shop. The following substeps show you how to convert a private account to a business account while connecting.

  1. Click Connect in the window that appears.
  2. You're now presented with two options. You can either Use a new email with your business account or Use your current email to switch to a business account. The first option will take you through the setup flow of a new account as outlined above. The latter option will convert your existing account to a business account.
  3. Follow the setup flow on the screen.
  4. Read the terms for connecting and click Accept and connect once you're done.
  5. Click Go back to one.com once you reach the end of the flow. This will take you back to the Online Shop.

Connect an existing user (business account)

  1. Click Connect in the window that appears.
  2. The PayPal platform will open in a new window. Enter the email address of the PayPal user to which payments should be made.
  3. Enter the password of the account and verify yourself via one of the selected methods.
  4. Read the terms for connecting and click Accept and connect once you're done.
  5. Click Go back to one.com.

Note: PayPal may ask you to provide additional information about your company after the initial setup. If this happens, you'll receive a separate email with a link that will lead you directly to the place where you can add this information.
