A familiar checkout for your Buya shoppers

A familiar checkout for your Buya shoppers

A shopper finds an item they want in your Buya store. The next step should be clear: complete the purchase online.

That is the benefit behind Buya's PayPal-only online checkout. Instead of contacting your store to arrange payment, shoppers can pay through a familiar checkout option. For your team, it means less back-and-forth about how to pay and a clearer next step for the customer.

A clearer path from finding an item to paying for it

Trust is built in the details: knowing what happens next, understanding how to pay, and knowing where to turn with a question.

A consistent online checkout gives shoppers that clarity. Connecting your store's PayPal Business account to Bravo lets customers complete payment online, rather than leaving checkout to arrange payment directly with your store.

As part of this change, Pay Store Direct is being discontinued. That is the option that lets a shopper arrange payment directly with your store. It is not a fallback for stores that have not connected PayPal.

The next step depends on where your store is today.

Already have a PayPal Business account?

You do not need to create another account just for these instructions. Follow Bravo's PayPal Setup Guide to connect your existing PayPal Business account to Bravo.

Open the PayPal Setup Guide

The setup guide may ask you to sign in. If you cannot access it or need help with the connection, contact Bravo Support.

Don't have a PayPal Business account yet?

Start by opening a PayPal Business account and completing PayPal's account setup. Then return to Bravo's guide to connect it.

  1. Create a PayPal Business account.
  2. Complete the information and any verification PayPal requests.
  3. Follow Bravo's connection guide.

Opening an account and connecting it to Bravo are separate steps. If you get stuck, ask for help rather than assuming setup is complete.

Already connected?

If your store already has PayPal connected for Buya Shopping, this notice is not asking you to open a second account. If you are unsure about your connection, Bravo Support can help you check your next steps.

Need help, or unable to use PayPal?

Contact Bravo Support so the team can help you understand your store's next steps. Do not rely on Pay Store Direct as a replacement for connecting PayPal.
