PayPal

PayPal is an online payment service that lets a website accept PayPal balances, cards and local methods through a hosted checkout, buttons or a full gateway, charged per transaction.

PayPal appears on a broad set of sites: online stores on every platform, small businesses taking deposits, charities collecting donations, membership sites and software vendors. It is often the first payment method a small merchant adds because it needs no merchant account, so a PayPal button shows a business taking money online but says little about its size.

Buyers of this list are companies that sell around online payments: competing processors and payment orchestration services, buy-now-pay-later providers, fraud prevention and chargeback tools, accounting and bookkeeping software, invoicing and subscription billing, e-commerce platforms, and fulfilment services. New PayPal sites have just started accepting payments online and are open to adding a second method or a store platform; dropped sites have often moved to a processor with lower fees or an integrated checkout, which interests payment vendors.

PayPal is accepted on 3,062,361 websites, which is 30% of all Payment processors detections we record. Websites that take payments through PayPal are most often served from Canada (1,480,248), United States (820,852) and Germany (150,543), and .com, .org and .de are the most common domain endings.

Questions about PayPal websites

How many websites accept PayPal?

As of November 2, 2026, 3,062,361 websites show PayPal on their homepage: a checkout script, a payment badge or a button of the provider. The number is recalculated every night from our own crawl of the web.

Who buys lists of websites that accept PayPal?

Competing payment providers and buy-now-pay-later services, fraud and chargeback tools, accounting and tax software, and anyone selling to businesses that already sell online. A website that just added PayPal has just started or changed how it takes money; one that dropped it is renegotiating payments.

Where are PayPal websites hosted?

Canada leads with 1,480,248 websites, followed by United States (820,852) and Germany (150,543). The country is where the website is served from; sites on a hosted platform show the platform's country.

How do I find websites that just started accepting PayPal?

The New tab on this page lists websites where our crawler saw PayPal for the first time in the last days, newest first; the Dropped tab lists the sites that removed it. Both download with a subscription and refresh every morning.

How do I get a list of websites that accept PayPal?

A free BetaScan account downloads a {sample_rows}-row sample. A subscription from $69 a month gives the full list of 3,062,361 domains, or a dataset with emails, phones, country, hosting and ranks, filtered by country, TLD, rank and registration date. See pricing.

How does BetaScan detect PayPal?

Our crawler fetches the homepage of every domain we track and matches the page and its response headers against the signatures of 7,636 technologies. A website counts as using PayPal when its latest crawl shows the signature; when the signature disappears, the site moves to the dropped list.

How can you tell a website accepts PayPal?

The homepage loads the PayPal JavaScript SDK from paypal.com/sdk/js with a client id, shows payment or donate buttons whose images come from paypalobjects.com, or contains forms that post to paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr with a business email or hosted button id. Checkout pages built on e-commerce platforms often expose PayPal only on the cart or checkout step, so some merchants are visible only there.

What can you sell to PayPal merchants?

These sites already take money online, so they respond to payment and billing products: alternative or additional processors, pay-later options, fraud screening, chargeback management, invoicing and recurring billing, bookkeeping software, currency and cross-border services, and e-commerce platforms for sellers still using standalone buttons. Non-profits in the list are a separate segment for donation and fundraising tools.
