Paypal connectors

  • Updated

Optimizely Configured Commerce has an integration with Spreedly, a global payments ecosystem, to give you access to more payment gateway options. When implementing new payment gateways on your Configured Commerce storefront, you must select a payment gateway and a payment method Spreedly supports. The previous payment connectors are no longer supported.

Paypal is a payment service you can configure and customers can use when completing orders in Optimizely Configured Commerce. You typically enable this at the global level, but you can also enable it for a specific subsite, if desired.
