Simplifying Payments for Entrepreneurs on Squarespace
Today we’re excited to share that we have started working with Squarespace to help entrepreneurs quickly get started with their online stores and businesses.
Now available as a new feature in public beta Squarespace merchants can seamlessly integrate PayPal Express Checkout into their online store and offer their customers greater choice with how they want to pay.
Both Squarespace and PayPal share a common goal of empowering millions of consumers and businesses around the world with access to easy to use, secure tools and products, helping them grow and succeed. And thanks to you, this partnership was a result of direct feedback from the Squarespace merchant community.
When we first met with Squarespace, we learned that a significant portion of the Squarespace sellers, sell internationally. We discussed the increasing need to make it simpler for sellers to accept payments from different countries across the globe. This is another area where PayPal will help Squarespace merchants, by accepting payments in more than 100 currencies and from more than 200 markets.
We are delighted to share that within minutes of integrating PayPal[1], Squarespace merchants will have an additional way to accept payments from their customers around the world, and may see a boost in conversions through PayPal solutions such as One Touch and In-Context checkout[2].
“Accepting payments through Squarespace is very simple and secure. After the integration of PayPal payments, we had several orders which were all payed with PayPal. Especially in Europe, it is a great and useful addition to the existing payment methods. We can already say, that this will have a high impact on our online shop sales” – Schneid.org, Squarespace Merchant
Squarespace focuses on blending elegant design and sophisticated engineering. For PayPal, it’s to be a simple, secure way to pay and get paid. And together, we’re looking forward to partnering with another globally trusted brand, to help more businesses around the world create and sell their products and services.
