Widely integrated: In fact, it is known for wide integration into multiple platforms; hence, as a user, it’s easy to make online transactions. Major e-commerce websites like eBay, Amazon, and many other thousands of online stores have accepted PayPal as a mode of payment. It brings convenience since you do not have to re-enter your card or account information every time you shop.In addition, this platform also supports connection with many applications and services, from booking airline tickets, booking hotel rooms to paying daily bills. Thanks to this feature, you can pay quickly without any obstacles.

Conveniently send and receive money: One of PayPal's main tools is the ability to send and receive money directly, quickly and securely. You can send requests or make quick payments from the app, attaching text messages and emojis. This makes splitting a restaurant bill, for example, much easier. Thanks to the app's encryption technology, all transfers are completely secure. The money will pass directly from one account to another. International transfers are handled through Xoom, a special service that makes this type of transfer very easy.

Pay in installments whenever you prefer: Another plus point is that PayPal is easily integrated into business systems. Many small businesses use this service to receive payments from customers anywhere in the world. The user-friendly payment gateway system helps businesses manage transactions effectively.Another of PayPal's interesting features is that it allows you to complete almost any payment over three convenient installments. This option is especially useful when you are going to buy something relatively pricey. Paying over three installments is as simple as choosing this option when you go to checkout. You don't need to have previous credit or do anything special: this option will always be available. Keep in mind, though, that if you are late in paying the installments you may be penalized in your bank's credit limit.
