PayPal is a global payment system that supports online money transfers and functions as a highly secure payment gateway for many businesses worldwide. As of 2019, it has 286 million active registered accounts that allow customers to send, receive, and hold funds in 25 currencies worldwide. Event attendees worldwide use it for their ticket booking, making it one of our preferred transaction portals. This is why a majority of event managers too, prefer selling tickets via PayPal.
When it comes to making payments, Yapsody offers multiple choices to your event attendees like Credit, Debit, and the “Pay Later” option. As an event planner, you have the flexibility to enable these payment methods from our Virtual Box Office. This blog will focus on selling event tickets online by integrating PayPal for accepting payments.
