CorpAgent Exclusive: PayPal Pro For Hong Kong Company
08-01-2020
The demand for cross-border shopping is only increasing with the advancement of the Internet and logistics companies. The demand for shopping of non-necessity goods might be slowed down a tad bit by the recession, but the pushing factors on the other hand are making up for the dent, and cross-border e-commerce businesses themselves are keeping up with their confidence in order to not lose what they have built and, if possible, expand in 2023. Major international payment companies, like PayPal and Stripe, are keeping these behaviors in check. Over the past few years, they have been doing everything possible to facilitate the business of cross-border e-commerce. In this article, we go through one of PayPal’s most significant launches: the PayPal Payment Pro, which has been playing a margin boosting role for hundreds of thousands of dropshipping businesses.

About PayPal
PayPal is one of the world’s largest if not the largest payment platform. PayPal has long been one of the indispensable options for cross-border e-commerce businesses, especially those who have deep interest in the US market. There are two types of PayPal accounts: Personal PayPal account, and Business PayPal account (PayPal Business)
Figure 1: PayPal’s market share
Personal PayPal account
Everyone can open a personal PayPal account, including businesses! In fact, many dropshipping starters use personal PayPal accounts as an alternative, but it only works until the seller reaches a certain level of monthly transactions. Despite its low transaction fee, a personal PayPal account comes with low transaction limits and business risks. It does not come with the level of protection that does a PayPal Business account. When getting into disputes, personal PayPal accounts face higher risks of being permanently dis-functioned.
PayPal Business
PayPal Business is the type of PayPal account designed for cross-border e-commerce and Internet service businesses. Unlike personal accounts, the business account takes more work to get onboard and is more costly to maintain, but comes with higher transaction limits and lower business risks.
PayPal Pro for PayPal Business
PayPal Pro is a service made for high-volume accounts. PayPal Pro helps e-commerce businesses enhance customer experience while improving operational and cost efficiency. The main advantages of PayPal Pro include:
- Sellers can control 100% the checkout process, unlike for PayPal (not Pro!), customers will be redirected to the PayPal checkout window.
- Shoppers can perform payment directly from their debit/credit card through PayPal Pro. Shoppers don’t need a PayPal account themselves to pay with PayPal Pro.
- The maximum transaction limit for PayPal Pro is much higher than for PayPal.
- Settlement time is much shorter than PayPal, especially for high trust accounts.
The only tingles for PayPal Pro is that it can be inaccessible to businesses incorporated in certain countries. For example, businesses based in most countries in Southeast Asia are not qualified for PayPal Pro. Fortunately, offshore companies exist and that has been quite the practice for long. For businesses based in countries NOT SUPPORTED by PayPal, they can feel free to form a new business in a supported country. There are no limits to which countries one can opt in for, and you can totally see more of CorpAgent’s company formation services here. In this article, however, we present you one of the most popular options.
