Is PayPal Free With WooCommerce?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:00 pm

PayPal is one of the most popular online payment processors in the world. And for good reason – it’s easy to use, reliable, and secure.

But what about when you’re using it with WooCommerce? Is PayPal free with WooCommerce?

The answer is yes and no. If you’re using PayPal Standard, there are no transaction fees. However, if you’re using PayPal’s more advanced features, such as PayPal Payments Pro or Merchant Services, there are transaction fees involved.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that although WooCommerce is free, PayPal is not. PayPal charges a fee for each transaction, and these fees can quickly add up. Before using PayPal with WooCommerce, be sure to calculate the fees so that you know how much it will cost you.

Here’s a breakdown of the fees you can expect with each PayPal service:

PayPal Standard: No transaction fees
PayPal Payments Pro: 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction
PayPal Merchant Services: 2.7% + $0.30 per transaction

So, if you’re just starting out with WooCommerce and want to keep things simple, PayPal Standard is the way to go. However, if you need more advanced features, you’ll have to pay a few extra cents per transaction.
