In this guide, we’ll explore the importance of an all-in-one payment solution, including how it can help streamline operations, increase customer loyalty, improve security, and ultimately, drive conversions.

What is an all-in-one online payment solution?

An all-in-one online payment solution is a single platform that provides merchants with all the features and tools needed to quickly and easily accept various payment methods online, manage sales and mitigate risk from one place.

If you sell across borders, an all-in-one solution makes it easier to offer your customers the payment methods and currencies that are popular in their own country.

Advanced Checkout is available as part of the PayPal Complete Payments platform. It is a payment processing solution that includes all the features available in PayPal Standard Checkout plus additional advanced payment types, customisable features, and risk management tools.

In other words, Advanced Checkout is PayPal’s leading single integration that enables merchants to offer, accept, and process payments in 135 different currencies and using several preferred payment methods from around the world, including:

From helping save time and increase conversions, Advanced Checkout offers many advantages for merchants and their customers with one single integration.

4. Save time with one payment integration

By managing all your payments in one place, you’ll gain more control over your transaction data. That’s because you’ll have quick and convenient visibility into all your transactions, sales, and reporting. You can also better manage cash flow and get money quicky into your PayPal Business account.
