Keep PayPal. Hand us the rest.

You chose PayPal to get paid, not to file VAT returns, chase failed renewals, and answer disputes in a dashboard. With PayPal, all of that stays with you, because your company is the seller.

That’s where we step in. As your Merchant of Record, we become the seller. We take care of calculating, collecting, filing, and remitting sales taxes and VAT, and handling subscriptions, chargebacks, and fraud. PayPal remains at your checkout. The paperwork doesn’t.

Stop doing the seller’s paperwork – switch to PayPro Global.

Why PayPro Global?

Fewer Lost Renewals

Keep the subscribers who meant to stay. If a card fails, the card updater, personalized collection, dunning, and self-service portal come into play before the failure leads to customer loss. Before failing a subscription payment, PayPal retries a failed subscription payment every 5 days, at most twice per billing cycle. 🔗 Link to source
