PayPal for Actinic ecommerce
Actinic Catalog, Actinic Business and Actinic Enterprise are fully integrated out of the box with PayPal. Simply select PayPal as a payment option and enter your user ID and password to start taking PayPal payments from your Actinic site.
With over 15 million accounts in the UK and over 150 million worldwide, PayPal is a popular payment method amongst millions of online shoppers and one of the global leaders in online payments.
It’s a fast and secure way for customers to pay online via all major debit and credit cards, online bank transfers and via payments from PayPal account holders. Customers don’t even need a PayPal account to pay with PayPal.
