This article will cover all things PayPal, following our latest update. Continue reading to find out what features are available, how to refresh your PayPal connection on LoveAdmin and what your customers will see at checkout.
What does the latest integration offer?
PayPal offers the convenience of recurring payments that can be collected and settled within minutes, simplifying the management of your monthly and annual collections. Your customers can save their preferred payment methods and authorise your organisation to automatically collect payments when they are due, including renewing and ad-hoc fees.
These features contribute to an overall more seamless checkout experience, resulting in faster click-through rates and less complicated checkouts.
