PayPal Integration for Saleor Commerce
A direct, PayPal-certified PayPal Commerce Platform integration for Saleor. Web Shop Manager builds, deploys, operates, and supports PPCP checkout with PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Pay Later, saved cards, vaulting, and subscriptions.
Saleor ships no official standalone PayPal app. PayPal is available as one payment method inside Saleor’s official Stripe app, routed through Stripe rather than PayPal’s own infrastructure. Web Shop Manager built a separate, dedicated PayPal Commerce Platform (PPCP) integration on Saleor’s payment-app framework and Transaction API, giving merchants a direct connection to PPCP with PayPal checkout, wallets, Pay Later, saved payment methods, subscriptions, and PayPal-managed payment flows.
A direct PayPal Commerce Platform integration on Saleor
PayPal is one of the most requested ways to pay in ecommerce, and shoppers convert better when they see a checkout option they already trust. Web Shop Manager provides a direct, PayPal-certified integration with the PayPal Commerce Platform (PPCP) on Saleor: built by us, deployed by us, and operated by us as part of your store.
Because the integration is direct, your PayPal transactions run on PayPal’s own rails rather than being routed through another gateway, and you get the full PPCP feature set rather than a single PayPal button.
What does the PayPal Commerce Platform integration include?
- PayPal checkout: the familiar PayPal flow, wired directly into your Saleor checkout.
- Apple Pay and Google Pay: one-tap wallet payments through PPCP, surfaced on supported devices and browsers.
- Pay Later: PayPal’s buy-now-pay-later options presented at checkout to lift average order value.
- Vaulting and saved cards: returning shoppers can securely reuse a stored payment method for faster repeat checkout.
- Subscriptions and billing agreements: recurring and repeat-billing flows for stores that sell on a subscription basis.
Does Saleor have a built-in PayPal app?
Saleor ships no official standalone PayPal app. Its official Stripe app can route PayPal as one of its supported payment methods, but that is a Stripe-routed PayPal experience, not a direct PayPal Commerce Platform integration. Web Shop Manager built a dedicated PPCP integration on Saleor’s payment-app framework and Transaction API, which is the foundation we built on.
Direct PayPal PPCP vs. PayPal routed through Stripe
| Direct WSM PayPal PPCP | PayPal routed through Stripe |
|---|---|
| PayPal runs as its own gateway | PayPal appears as a Stripe payment method |
| Uses the PayPal Commerce Platform feature set | Limited by the supported Stripe/Saleor configuration |
| Supports PayPal checkout, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Pay Later, saved cards, vaulting, and subscriptions | Depends on the payment methods exposed through the Stripe app |
| Built, deployed, and operated by WSM | Uses Saleor’s official Stripe app path |
WSM also offers Stripe Payments for Saleor and the Authorize.Net Integration as direct gateway options for merchants evaluating their headless stack. See the Saleor Integrations hub for the full catalog.
Is the PayPal integration PCI compliant?
PayPal is a PCI DSS Level 1 service provider. Web Shop Manager’s PPCP integration routes payment data through PayPal’s tokenized, secured flow, so sensitive payment information is handled on PayPal’s infrastructure rather than your server. PPCP also includes PayPal’s Fraud Protection Advanced tooling for additional transaction security, which we configure as part of deployment. WSM’s approach to security, reliability, and platform trust extends to every integration we operate.
PayPal-certified
Our PayPal integration is PayPal-certified, a third-party validation of the integration that a generic Saleor implementation does not carry. One more signal that payments on your store are built to PayPal’s standards. WSM is also a recognized PayPal partner.
Operated for you
As with every integration in our Saleor catalog, you do not stand this up or maintain it yourself. WSM deploys it, configures it for your store, keeps it current, and supports it as part of running your headless Saleor commerce. To evaluate your current checkout path, request a Saleor architecture review.
Beyond payments, WSM covers the full stack: Headless and API-First Commerce, Operational Integrations and Automation, and Performance and Core Web Vitals. If buy now, pay later matters for your checkout, see Affirm BNPL for Saleor as well.
Frequently asked questions
Practical questions about PayPal Integration for Saleor Commerce.
It is direct. Web Shop Manager built a direct integration with the PayPal Commerce Platform, so PayPal runs as its own gateway with the full PPCP feature set. Open-source Saleor only offers PayPal as a method routed through its official Stripe app.

That gives merchants access to the broader PayPal Commerce Platform feature set, including PayPal checkout, wallet payments, Pay Later, saved cards, vaulting, subscriptions, and PayPal-managed payment flows.
