PayPal for Shopware 6
by shopware AG
Expand your Shopware store globally with the PayPal payment module, supporting over 100 currencies and 200 markets while delivering a smooth and convenient checkout experience.
The official PayPal plugin for Shopware 6, developed by shopware AG, provides comprehensive integration of PayPal Checkout and supports a wide range of payment methods such as Express Checkout, PayPal Pay Later, and credit card payments. Based on the open-source repository SwagPayPal, the plugin also supports advanced features such as vaulting for stored payment data, subscriptions, and the automated transmission of tracking numbers for enhanced security.
Core Features & Benefits
- PayPal Checkout Integration: A single integration for nearly all relevant payment methods worldwide.
- Express Checkout: Allows customers to purchase directly from the product detail page or shopping cart without tedious data entry.
- PayPal Pay Later: Offers customers flexible financing options such as installment payments or “Pay in 30 Days” (depending on the country).
- Credit and Debit Cards: Direct acceptance of Visa, Mastercard, and other providers, without requiring the customer to have a PayPal account.
- Smart Payment Methods: Automatically displays the most relevant local payment methods for the customer (e.g. SEPA Direct Debit, giropay, iDEAL).
Advanced Features for Merchants
- Vaulting (Stored Payment Methods): Customers can securely save their payment details for future purchases, which can increase conversion rates among returning customers.
- Subscriptions & Recurring Payments: Support for recurring payments and subscription models directly through the PayPal interface.
- Automated Shipment Tracking: Automatic transmission of tracking information to PayPal in order to strengthen seller protection and accelerate the release of funds.
- Integrated Dispute Resolution: Status updates on buyer protection cases can be viewed directly in the Shopware administration panel.
- Seamless Backend Integration: Easy management of refunds (full and partial refunds) directly from the Shopware order details.
