PayPal is one of the most popular online payment systems in the world that enables you to pay, send money, and accept payments through credit cards, bank accounts or PayPal accounts.
To accept payments you first need a Business PayPal account.
When you open a store, your login email is preset as your PayPal account email in your eCommerce App →Payment →PayPal.
If your PayPal account is registered for the same email you used to sign up for Ucraft or you don’t have a PayPal account yet, you can start accepting payments right away:
Go to your Dashboard→eCommerce App→ Payment → PayPal section
Click Enable PayPal.
From now on, a PayPal method will be available to your customers at checkout and can be used for receiving payments.
In case you don’t have a PayPal account, simply use your Ucraft login email to sign up for PayPal. As soon as your account is created, all the unclaimed payments will show up in your balance.
If you already have a PayPal account with a different email address, you can switch your PayPal account in Ucraft!
1. Go to your eCommerce App → PayPal section.\ 2. Click Change your PayPal account:
3. Enter a valid PayPal account email:
4. Click Enable PayPal.
You are now all set up to accept payments through PayPal.
Moreover, you can give your customers the option to have a fast PayPal Checkout. It will allow them to skip entering address information on checkout pages of your store and use shipping and payment details from their PayPal account for placing an order.
Click Actions → Edit → Advanced Settings in the PayPal Checkout block:
Enable the PayPal Checkout on the cart page option.
Now your customers will see the PayPal Checkout button on the checkout page:
In addition to the regular Checkout button, PayPal can display some extra payment methods on the cart page, including:
PayPal Credit
Venmo (for the USA)
iDEAL (for the Netherlands)
Bancontact (for Belgium)
MyBank (for Italy)
Giropay and SEPA Direct Debit (for Germany)
EPS (for Australia)
The actual set of PayPal Checkout buttons may vary for each customer. According to PayPal, the buttons may be displayed based on customer location and browser cookies.
PayPal Credit
PayPal Credit is an online payment option that allows your customers to pay for their orders over time, as if they are using a credit card: they buy now and pay later.
You still get paid by PayPal right away, so you don’t have to worry whether the customer has paid their credit.
PayPal Credit requires that you enable a regular PayPal Checkout button in your store.
To offer PayPal Credit option in your online store:
1. Go to your eCommerce → Payment.\ 2. Click Actions → Edit in the PayPal Checkout block:
3. Expand the Advanced settings.\ 4. Enable the Show PayPal Credit button option.

That's it. Your Stripe account is now connected to your store!\ \ You can check general settings for the activated payment method by clicking "Account Details" link next to Stripe on Settings → Payment page of your eCommerce App.\ Your Stripe ID will be displayed in the settings along with other parameters of your Stripe account:
