Updating PayPal account to process online payments for the event

To accept payments for your event on Eventzilla, you need to connect a payment processor to your account. Eventzilla supports multiple payment platforms including PayPal, Stripe, and Square, allowing you to offer flexible payment options to your attendees. PayPal is one of the most widely used payment processors and offers a seamless way to accept payments online, both from attendees with a PayPal account and those using credit or debit cards.

This guide will walk you through the process of connecting or updating your PayPal account to process payments for your event.

Why use PayPal for processing payments?

PayPal provides a host of benefits that make it an excellent choice for processing payments:

Flexible payment options: With PayPal, your attendees can pay using major credit cards like Visa, Mastercard, and American Express, or directly from their PayPal balance if they have one. This gives your attendees more options to pay for their registrations.

Global reach: PayPal is a globally recognized payment system, allowing you to accept payments from attendees worldwide. This is especially beneficial for international events, where attendees may prefer to use their PayPal accounts.

Security: PayPal offers robust security features to protect both you and your attendees. It uses advanced encryption methods and fraud prevention tools to ensure all transactions are safe and secure.

User Trust: Many people already have a PayPal account and trust it as a reliable payment method. This familiarity can help increase conversion rates and encourage attendees to register for your event without hesitation.

Instant Deposits: When attendees pay for their tickets, the funds are directly deposited into your PayPal account. Eventzilla will automatically deduct its processing fee from this amount.
