Increase trust and boost conversions with PayPal
With PayPal, you can accept bookings securely and quickly from your website. Your customers can complete their payments from any device—computer, mobile, or even via invoice—enhancing trust and improving conversion rates.
Integration options in VRMS
There are two ways to integrate PayPal into your VRMS account:
Through Avantio Payments, using Planet Payments.
Without a payment platform, so that PayPal is used only for the first payment made on your website. (Contact the Support team for this type of activation.)
Attention to detail
In both cases, you must have a PayPal Business account.
Prerequisites
Before starting the integration, make sure you:
Have an active PayPal Business account.
Enable Express Payment as a payment solution within your PayPal account.
