What Is PayPal?

PayPal is a global digital payments platform with over 400 million active accounts in more than 200 markets. Founded in 1998 by a group including Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, PayPal pioneered online payments and remains one of the most trusted names in digital commerce.

Payment Solutions

PayPal offers multiple integration options. PayPal Checkout provides buttons that let customers pay with their PayPal balance, linked bank accounts, or credit cards. PayPal Commerce Platform offers advanced features for marketplaces including multi-party payments and seller onboarding.
