Why Merchants Research PayPal Alternatives
PayPal (PayPal Holdings, Inc.) is a well-known name in payment processing. But knowing a brand doesn't mean it's the best fit for your business. Here are the most common reasons merchants start looking for alternatives:
- 2.99% + $0.49 in-person rate is one of the highest in the industry
- Account holds and fund freezes cause cash flow disruption
- No dedicated merchant account representative
- No interchange passthrough pricing
- Not designed for high-volume brick-and-mortar businesses
