New PayPal Integration with Venmo & Pay Later

We are excited to announce our new integration with PayPal, which brings several major improvements, including support for Venmo, Pay Later, a new streamlined checkout experience, and more! 

This is what you can expect to see when using PayPal now. A beautiful new checkout screen with buttons that most everyone is familiar with seeing across checkout pages when shopping. We believe this new design gives guests greater confidence when finalizing their booking and completing the payment process.

What you need to know

Please be aware that all accounts using the current PayPal connection must upgrade to gain access to the new PayPal. The upgrade is easy! All you need to do is connect your PayPal account again if you connected previously, and if you've never used PayPal, it's never been easier. More details on how to get connected here.

PayPal has stated that you must upgrade your connection by December 31st to continue processing payments. If you don't do this by the cutoff date, the payment will error out for the guest.

If you're currently using PayPal PayFlow Pro or PayPal Payments Pro, your existing connection will be labeled as deprecated on December 31st. You can continue using that until PayPal cuts you off. It's unclear how long you'll be able to continue using those connections after that date. 

What the new PayPal upgrade offers

Our updated PayPal integration now offers significant new improvements, including Venmo, Pay Later and more! Better transaction visibility, ongoing compliance with PayPal’s latest API standards, and a brand new, modernized, and streamlined checkout experience for your guests!

Take a look below and see all the great things you can now do with PayPal:

Hopefully ok to ask this here of other hosts. What's the drawback to converting a personal PayPal to business. 

It's it just you can't to fee free transfers to friends to split a meal outing or wherever 

Or did business PayPal actually change how much PayPal costs and operates for general purchasing?
