What are the fees for PayPal on WooCommerce?
PayPal charges its own transaction fees through your PayPal business account, and Mollie charges a separate fee per PayPal transaction. Check Mollie pricing for the most up-to-date rates.
Where do my PayPal payments get paid out?
PayPal payments go to your PayPal balance, not your Mollie balance. You can still track every PayPal transaction in your Mollie Dashboard.
Why is the PayPal Express button not showing in my WooCommerce store?
The button only appears for digital products and for orders above the minimum amount you set. Also check that PayPal is connected in your Mollie Dashboard, your API key is added, and the display options are selected in the Mollie Settings tab.
