What fees does PayPal charge?

PayPal sets its own transaction fees, which vary by transaction type and country - we show you the actual rates for your case before you commit, so you know exactly what you keep from each sale.

Can I add PayPal to a store you didn't build originally?

Yes, this is a common standalone request - we review your current checkout and add the integration without needing to rebuild anything else.

PayPal Integration - Zephyra Studio

Quick answer

PayPal integration adds a payment button customers already trust and recognise, often completing checkout in one click since many shoppers stay logged in. It suits stores where quick customer adoption and buyer confidence matter as much as raw payment flexibility.

What PayPal integration is and who it's for

PayPal is a payment method built around trust and recognition rather than raw technical flexibility: most shoppers already have an account, stay logged in across sites, and recognise the button on sight. Integrating it means adding that option to your checkout alongside cards, so customers can pay without re-entering card details on your site at all.

It suits any store or service business where reducing checkout friction for a broad, general audience matters, particularly first-time buyers who are cautious about entering card details on a site they don't fully know yet. Recognition does a lot of the persuading here.

Advantages compared to alternatives

Compared to Stripe, which is the developer-friendly choice for flexible, code-level payment logic (subscriptions, custom flows, marketplace payouts), PayPal wins specifically on end-customer trust and fastest adoption - a shopper who already has PayPal logged in on their phone completes checkout in seconds without typing a card number.

The trade-off is that PayPal is less flexible for unusual payment logic than a fully programmable processor, so businesses building complex subscription tiers or marketplace-style payouts often use Stripe as the primary system and PayPal as an added option for the checkout button, rather than the other way round.

How we work on PayPal integration

We add the PayPal button to your existing checkout flow, configure it alongside your card processor so customers choose whichever they prefer, and test the full transaction and refund flow before the store goes live. This is technically confirmed feasible on any store we build, whether WooCommerce, Shopify or a custom build.

We reply to enquiries within 24-48 hours, and adding PayPal to an existing checkout is usually a matter of days rather than weeks.

Frequently asked questions

No, it's always added alongside your existing card processor, giving customers a choice at checkout rather than replacing what you already have.
