PayPal is one of the most popular methods for accepting payments online. This payment method is one of the many options you have for receiving payments from your customers in PrestaShop. You can set up your store to accept payments via PayPal using the PayPal module in the your PrestaShop back office.

Please note, to properly configure this module, you will need to already have a PayPal account. If you do not already have an account with PayPal, you will need to visit the PayPal website and sign up for an account with PayPal in order to accept PayPal payments.

  1. Begin by logging into your PrestaShop back office .
  2. Click on the Modules tab and expand the Payments & Gateways section under that tab.
