PayPal Commerce Platform + Shuttle

PayPal Commerce Platform is PayPal’s comprehensive solution for marketplaces, platforms, and multi-party commerce. Beyond the familiar PayPal wallet — which has over 400 million active accounts globally — PayPal Commerce Platform provides full card processing, Venmo acceptance in the US, marketplace split payments, and built-in seller onboarding with KYC compliance. The platform handles payouts to sellers in over 25 currencies and includes buyer and seller protection programs that build trust in marketplace transactions. For platforms, PayPal Commerce offers a single integration that covers wallet-based payments, card processing, and marketplace funds management, reducing the complexity of building multi-party payment flows.

Shuttle integrates PayPal Commerce Platform into its PSP-neutral orchestration layer, enabling platforms to offer PayPal as a payment method alongside other processors without lock-in. Through Shuttle, customers can pay with their PayPal wallet or enter card details directly, with Shuttle routing the transaction through PayPal Commerce Platform while maintaining connections to other PSPs for failover and optimization. Voice Checkout supports PayPal-processed card transactions with Shuttle managing PCI compliance, and Payment Links present the PayPal wallet option alongside other payment methods in a seamless hosted checkout. For marketplace platforms, Shuttle passes through PayPal Commerce’s split-payment and payout capabilities while adding the flexibility to route non-PayPal transactions through alternative processors.

Offering PayPal through Shuttle gives platforms access to one of the most recognized payment brands in the world without building it as a standalone integration. The conversion benefit of displaying the PayPal button is well-documented — millions of consumers choose PayPal for its speed and buyer protection — and Shuttle makes it available in every checkout context. Shuttle normalizes PayPal Commerce Platform’s transaction lifecycle, refund handling, and dispute management into its standard format, so platforms handle PayPal transactions with the same operational workflows as any other PSP. For platforms that want PayPal’s brand recognition and wallet user base alongside the flexibility to optimize card processing through other providers, Shuttle delivers both through a single integration layer.
