BigCommerce Payments, built with PayPal, gives you a native checkout and a unified money dashboard inside your BigCommerce Control Panel. Cards, PayPal, Venmo, PayPal Pay Later, Afterpay, Klarna, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are all available in a single on-site flow. There is no separate gateway to configure.
What you can do with BigCommerce Payments:
Turn on payments seamlessly in minutes. Activate from your Control Panel and start accepting payments without a new gateway account or SDK changes for most stores.
Give buyers the payment options they expect. Cards, PayPal, Venmo, PayPal Pay Later, Afterpay, Klarna, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are all built in and presented at checkout.
Manage money in one place. View payouts, fees, refunds, and transaction history in the BigCommerce Money Dashboard. No switching between payment provider or stitching exports together.
Keep reconciliation simple. All payment data lives alongside your order data inside BigCommerce, so your team has one source of truth for month-end close.
BigCommerce Payments is the recommended payment setup for new BigCommerce stores and is available to eligible existing stores through a clear migration path. It runs on PayPal's payments infrastructure, so PCI compliance and risk controls are managed without additional tooling on your end.

Activate without a new gateway account
BigCommerce Payments is turned on from your existing Control Panel. No new payment provider account to create, no additional interface to learn, and no SDK changes required for most standard store setups.
Buyers stay on your store at checkout
All payment options — cards, PayPal, Venmo, PayPal Pay Later, Afterpay, Klarna, Apple Pay, and Google Pay — are presented in a single on-site flow.
Payout and fee visibility in one dashboard
Your payout schedule, current balance, transaction fees, and refund history are all visible in the BigCommerce Money Dashboard. Your finance team works from one report, not separate processor exports.
PCI compliance managed at the infrastructure level
BigCommerce Payments runs on PayPal's payments infrastructure, used by hundreds of millions of buyers worldwide. PayPal handles PCI compliance and risk controls, so your buyers already know and trust what they see at checkout. Your team does not need to manage a separate compliance program or add security tooling.
