Editor's take
Best for
Any business needing broad customer payment acceptance. Consumer buyer trust is unmatched.
Not worth it if
You are B2B high-ticket and payment processing fees are eating margin. Alternative: ACH via Melio or bank rails.
Context
Watch for periodic PayPal small business grant programs — they have partnered with Business For All and adjacent programs supporting vet-owned businesses.
