PayPal (NASDAQ:PYPL) is ratcheting up its focus on helping small businesses drive payment acceptance after rolling out four new features to its complete payment solution for SMBs, the company said Tuesday.
The solution allows SMBs to accept various payments including PayPal, Venmo and PayPal Pay Later products. It also enables them to process card payments directly on their website.

The new features include Apple (AAPL) Pay as a checkout option, the ability for customers to save payment methods with the PayPal vault for faster future checkout, real-time account updater to help customers keep their payment methods up to date, and access to IC++ pricing, the payments giant said.
"The retail landscape is constantly evolving and SMBs need access to a range of tools to help them drive sales, cut costs and protect themselves and their customers from fraud," said Nitin Prabhu, vice president, Merchant Experiences and Payment Solutions at PayPal.
The move comes after PayPal (PYPL) in June, 2021, launched PayPal Zettle for SMBs in the U.S. It then introduced PayPal Zettle Terminal to let merchants complete the checkout process wherever the customer is provided there's mobile coverage.
