Connect PayPal to your payment page
Many customers trust PayPal and already have their details saved. If you have a PayPal account, you connect it to 1pay.ch and they find it next to TWINT and cards.
When it makes sense
The trust they know
For many online shoppers, PayPal stands for protection.
Quick payment
The details are already saved in the customer's account: fewer fields to fill in, especially on a phone.
No code
You connect it in the admin area, with no developers.
