Business Benefits of Migrating to PayPal ACDC

Switching to PayPal ACDC provides several concrete advantages that can directly improve your business operations and customer experience:


  • A Better Checkout Experience for Your Customers

Benefit: PayPal ACDC integrates directly into your Jumbula checkout, allowing customers to complete payments without leaving your site. This results in a more professional, seamless experience, reducing confusion and abandoned carts, which can directly boost your conversion rates.


  • Lower Processing Fees, More Savings for Your Business

Benefit: PayPal ACDC charges 2.59% + $0.49 per transaction, compared to 2.99% + $0.49 with PayPal Standard. This fee reduction can add up quickly, especially for businesses processing a high volume of payments, resulting in significant cost savings over time.


  • Improved Payment Security, Reduced Risk

Benefit: With PayPal ACDC, your customer’s payment data is protected by enhanced encryption and secure data storage. This improves trust in your platform and reduces the risk of costly security incidents, helping you maintain a solid reputation with your customers.


  • More Payment Options for Customers, Leading to Higher Conversions

Benefit: Flexible payment methods like Venmo, Pay Later, and standard credit/debit cards give customers more ways to pay. This increases the likelihood of completing a sale, caters to different preferences, and ensures you never miss a potential transaction due to limited payment options.


  • Venmo Integration Included at No Extra Cost

Benefit: Venmo is increasingly popular, especially among younger, mobile-savvy customers. With PayPal ACDC, Venmo is automatically included without extra steps or fees. This lets you offer a payment method that many customers prefer, helping you reach a broader audience.


Additional Features of PayPal ACDC Integration

In addition to the core benefits of PayPal ACDC, Jumbula clients also gain access to:

  • Fraud Detection: The fraud prevention tools help protect your business and customers from fraudulent transactions.

  • Deeper Transaction Data and Analytics: Gain access to detailed transaction data and insights to help you track payments and analyze performance.

  • PayPal Express Checkout: Offers a quicker, simplified payment option for customers, improving their overall checkout experience.

How PayPal ACDC Impacts Your Business Operations

Switching to PayPal ACDC goes beyond just providing more options for your customers. It directly impacts your business in the following ways:

  1. Increased Revenue Potential: A more streamlined checkout process and various payment options reduce customer drop-offs and abandoned carts, which leads to more completed transactions.
  2. Cost Reduction: Lower transaction fees mean you keep more revenue. For businesses with frequent transactions, even a slight fee reduction can make a substantial difference in your profit margins.
  3. Enhanced Security for Peace of Mind: Stronger security measures mean less worry about potential data breaches, saving your business from the financial and reputational risks associated with compromised customer data.
  4. Scalability and Flexibility: PayPal ACDC is designed to grow with your business. As your customer base expands, offering more payment options (such as Venmo) ensures you meet the needs of a diverse audience without additional setup costs.
