WooCommerce Payments is an official payment solution made for WooCommerce stores. It lets you accept credit and debit cards directly on your checkout page, without sending customers to another site. You can manage payments, refunds, disputes, and payouts inside your WordPress dashboard. It also supports popular payment methods in some regions, plus features like saved cards and subscription payments (when used with supported tools). It’s designed to make online payments simple, fast, and easy to manage.

To set up PayPal in WooCommerce, go to WordPress Dashboard → WooCommerce → Settings → Payments. Find PayPal (or WooCommerce PayPal Payments) and click Set up/Manage. Connect your PayPal Business account, or enter your PayPal email and required API details if asked. Choose settings like sandbox mode (for testing), payment actions, and checkout buttons. Save changes, then run a test order to confirm PayPal appears at checkout and completes payments successfully.

Yes. WooCommerce has its own payment solution called WooPayments. It’s built by Automattic (the company behind WordPress.com) and is designed to work directly inside your WooCommerce dashboard. You can accept credit and debit cards, manage refunds, view payouts, and track transactions without leaving WordPress. Availability depends on your country, and fees vary by region. If WooPayments is not available where you are, you can still use other gateways like Stripe or PayPal.

The best payment gateway for WooCommerce globally is Stripe. It supports major credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, and provides robust fraud protection, while also integrating seamlessly with WooCommerce. PayPal is another top option because many customers trust it and it offers fast checkout. If you want a WooCommerce-native setup, WooPayments is simple and tightly integrated in supported regions. For the best results, offer Stripe + PayPal together. Choose based on your target countries, fees, payout speed, chargeback handling, and customer checkout experience.
