PayPal Business is a great fit for small online sellers, freelancers, and service businesses that want a fast, trusted way to get paid. You can accept credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, Venmo, and Pay Later options all from one account. There are no monthly fees to get started — you only pay a small fee per transaction. It connects with most major eCommerce platforms and lets you send invoices, issue refunds, and pay out to others too.
A STOA consultant can help you evaluate these tools based on your specific business needs and walk you through implementation.
Talk to STOAPayPal Business is a solid pick for any small business that sells online and wants a payment tool customers already know and trust. The biggest pro is zero monthly fees and instant access to hundreds of millions of buyers — the biggest con is that transaction fees (typically 3.49% + $0.49 for standard card transactions) can add up fast if your volume is high. If you do a lot of in-person sales, a dedicated point-of-sale tool like Square may serve you better.
