- What's the benefit of using Paypal for credit card payment?
-
PayPal, an eBay company, started by allowing people to securely exchange payments online. It works as a clearing house between sender and receiver. In the past, both parties had to signup for their respective PayPal accounts. Now, PayPal also processes credit card payments without the paying party having to first sign up for an account. To customers making payments on their online orders, it's secure and it's free!
As a customer, you make your online credit card purchases through the secured PayPal network.
PayPal Benefits:
