PayPal

Description:

It's more than just a simple "Pay with PayPal" button; it's a comprehensive gateway that allows merchants to accept a wide variety of payment methods, manage transactions, and enhance customer trust, ultimately leading to increased conversions.

Key Features

Multiple Payment Methods in One Integration
The module is a single solution for accepting numerous payment types:

PayPal Checkout:
The standard, trusted option allowing customers to pay using their PayPal balance or saved payment methods.

Credit & Debit Cards:
Process major cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.) directly on your site through PayPal's secure gateway, often without the customer needing a PayPal account.

Local Payment Methods:
Expands your global reach by offering popular local payment options relevant to the customer's country (e.g., iDEAL in the Netherlands, Giropay in Germany, Sofort, Bancontact).

Optimized Checkout Experience

Smart Payment Buttons™:
The module intelligently displays the most relevant payment options to each customer based on their location and browser cookies (e.g., a German customer will see PayPal and Giropay, while a US customer might see PayPal, Venmo, and Pay Later).

One-Click Payments:
For returning customers, PayPal can securely store their information, allowing for extremely fast checkout on subsequent purchases.

Powerful Back-Office Management 

All transaction management can be handled directly from the PrestaShop Back Office, saving merchants significant time and effort.

Process Refunds:
Issue full or partial refunds for an order directly from the order details page in eiriQ.com. There's no need to log in to your PayPal account separately.

Enhanced Security
3D Secure 2 (3DS2): When processing card payments, the module implements 3D Secure for an extra layer of fraud protection.
This helps verify the cardholder's identity and can shift the liability for fraudulent chargebacks from the merchant to the card issuer.

PayPal Seller Protection:

By adhering to PayPal's guidelines, merchants are protected against claims, chargebacks, and reversals for unauthorized transactions or for items a buyer claims they never received.

Benefits for the Merchant (Store Owner)

Increased Conversion Rate: The trust associated with the PayPal brand, combined with a fast and seamless checkout process, reduces cart abandonment.

Global Sales:
By offering local payment methods, you can easily sell to international customers in a way that feels familiar and secure to them.

Streamlined Operations:
Managing refunds and captures from within eiriQ.com centralizes your workflow and saves administrative time.

Reduced Fraud:
Advanced security features like 3DS2 and PayPal's powerful fraud-detection algorithms protect your business from financial loss.

The Customer Experience

A customer adds items to their cart and proceeds to checkout.
On the payment selection page, they see the familiar PayPal button, along with other relevant options direct card payment fields.

If they choose PayPal:
A secure pop-up window opens. They log in to their PayPal account, confirm the payment method and shipping address, and click "Confirm."
The pop-up closes, and they are immediately returned to the store's "Order Confirmation" page.

The entire process is smooth, fast, and reassuring, as their financial details are handled by PayPal's secure environment.
