How do I apply to accept PayPal?

In order to accept payments via PayPal, you need to set up a PayPal Standard Business Account.

Cost of Service

If you set up a "Standard Business Account" with PayPal, you may accept payments via credit card or via the person's PayPal account.  If you create a Standard Business Account, there are no monthly fees.  A transaction fee will be added to each transaction.  

The rate of the transaction fee depends on your monthly volume of payments:
  • The transaction fee starts with a flat fee of $0.30, plus a percentage of the transaction amount
  • For up to $3000 of monthly payments, the percentage rate starts at 2.9%
  • The higher your monthly payments, the lower your percentage rate.  To learn more about PayPal price, click here.
