Why PayPal?
PayPal is the single payment method customers know without explanation:
- 200+ countries supported — PayPal handles the country / language / payment-method matrix for you.
- 25+ currencies with automatic conversion at PayPal-side rates.
- Guest card payment — for one-off purchases, buyers WITHOUT a PayPal account can still pay with debit/credit card on PayPal’s hosted page (no signup required, no friction added).
- No merchant-gateway approval — every PayPal Business account can start accepting card + PayPal balance immediately, no waiting for underwriting.
- Buyer-side recognition — “Pay with PayPal” reduces checkout abandonment vs unfamiliar card forms. Many customers will choose PayPal specifically because they don’t want to type card numbers into yet another website.
- PayPal Credit / Pay Later — buy-now-pay-later eligibility is exposed automatically in supported markets at no extra integration cost.
- Built-in buyer protection — increases trust, especially for cross-border B2C SaaS.
Pair PayPal with Acelle Mail and you get a globally-credible checkout option alongside your existing Stripe / Offline / regional gateways.
What this plugin does
Adds two payment gateways to Acelle’s admin under one plugin:
- PayPal (Direct Payment group) — one-off charges via PayPal Orders v2. Customer pays with PayPal account OR as a guest with debit/credit card.
- PayPal Subscription (Remote Subscription group) — recurring billing via PayPal Subscriptions v1. Customer approves once at PayPal; auto-charge each cycle.
Both share the same form (Client ID + Secret + Environment) and use the same PayPal REST app. Enable one or both depending on what your customers need — they show up as two entries in the gateway picker, register independently, and are managed independently. Registers without modifying Acelle core code. Requires Acelle 4.0.24+ and PHP 8.1+.
