PayPal Targets Cross-Border E-Commerce With 30 New Local Payment Methods

PayPal has added more than 30 local payment methods to its global platform through a collaboration with infrastructure provider PPRO.

The integration allows merchants to accept region-specific payment options, targeting consumers who prefer familiar checkout tools when buying from international retailers.

The new options include Swish in Sweden, MB WAY in Portugal, and BLIK Pay Later in Poland, along with Brazil’s Pix.

With this expansion, PayPal now supports a wider range of locally preferred payment methods worldwide, including bank transfers, digital wallets, and cash-based solutions.

The European international e-commerce market has reached nearly €359 billion, representing a substantial growth area for businesses looking to expand.

“Even when consumers shop globally, they want to pay with the payment methods they know and trust at home,”

said Samba Natarajan, Senior Vice President and General Manager for Europe, PayPal.

Offering localised payment options can help online retailers reduce checkout friction.

This process often leads to higher conversion rates and improved customer satisfaction, which is particularly relevant for merchants seeking to expand their customer base beyond domestic borders.

“By integrating more than 30 new local payment methods into PayPal’s platform, we are connecting global merchants with more shoppers around the world,”

said Motie Bring, CEO, PPRO.

The collaboration brings together PayPal’s global payments network and PPRO’s expertise in local payment infrastructure, helping merchants offer the payment options customers expect in different markets.
