PayPal Standard
PayPal Standard is the simplest PayPal integration — buyers are redirected to PayPal’s site to complete payment, then sent back to your site once it’s done. No PayPal Pro account needed, no extra fees beyond standard PayPal pricing, available in essentially every country PayPal operates in. For a more polished on-site experience (no redirect), see PayPal Pro.
For PayPal’s own technical reference, see developer.paypal.com; for current pricing, paypal.com merchant fees.
In order to use PayPal Standard with Tickera, first you have to set up a Verified PayPal Premier or Business Account here. If you have an existing Personal account, you can upgrade your account to a Premier or Business account. Navigate to your account profile icon and select Profile and Settings (1) like displayed on the picture below.
Now head to My Personal Info (2) and locate Business information and click Upgrade (3) to upgrade your account.
