What is PayPal?
PayPal is the world's most recognised digital wallet — hundreds of millions of active accounts who can pay you without entering card details. Its developer platform covers standard checkout buttons, advanced card processing, recurring billing, payouts and marketplace splits, alongside Braintree for full-stack card processing.
Why PayPal matters for your business
For NZ businesses selling internationally, PayPal is close to mandatory: it's how a large share of US, UK and Australian buyers prefer to pay, and the buyer-protection badge does real conversion work on first-time customers. The integration details matter, though — webhooks, dispute handling, currency conversion and settlement into your accounting all reward doing it once, correctly.
How we help you with PayPal
Checkout integration
PayPal buttons and Braintree card processing wired into your store or custom platform — with webhooks, refunds and error handling done right.
Subscriptions & billing
Recurring plans, trials and dunning flows on PayPal's billing APIs, kept in sync with your application's entitlements.
Payouts & marketplaces
Multi-party flows — split payments, commissions and seller payouts for marketplace and platform businesses.
Reconciliation & reporting
Settlements, fees and currency conversion flowing into Xero and your reporting so finance sees one clean picture.
The trust it lends to cross-border checkout. A small NZ store is an unknown quantity to a buyer in Texas; the PayPal button isn't. Paired with a local gateway like Windcave or Stripe for domestic cards, it rounds out a checkout where every buyer finds the way they already like to pay.
