Market context
One of Latin America's fastest-growing freelance economies — Colombian developers, designers, and consultants increasingly invoice global clients in USD via PayPal.

Why most billing platforms can't help

Colombia isn't on PayPal's list of countries with newer inline checkout buttons. Most modern billing tools haven't built support for Colombian PayPal accounts — connection works but checkouts fail at the buyer step.

How PayRequest accepts PayPal where others won't

Works with any PayPal Business account

Connect your existing PayPal account in two clicks. PayRequest detects your country automatically and uses the right PayPal checkout flow for your region — no manual setup, no integration code.

Standard PayPal checkout your customers already trust

When buyers click 'Pay with PayPal' on your invoice or payment link, they're taken to PayPal's official checkout page. Full PayPal branding, login flow, and saved payment methods — exactly what buyers expect.

Same PayPal fees, same payouts, same dashboard

Funds land in your PayPal Business account exactly as they would on paypal.com. Refunds, disputes, and reporting all live in your familiar PayPal dashboard — nothing changes about how you run your finances.

What this means for your PayPal account

Your Colombian PayPal Business account settles in USD. With PayRequest, customers complete payment on PayPal's standard checkout, funds land in your USD PayPal balance, and you withdraw via your preferred channel — Bancolombia, Davivienda, or any PayPal-compatible bank.

Local payment methods to pair with PayPal

PayPal alone rarely covers a whole market. PayRequest lets you offer local payment options alongside PayPal — buyers pick whichever suits them best.

All of these are available through PayRequest's payment pages. Connect any combination on a single plan — no extra integration work.

Frequently asked questions

Will my buyers see PayPal's branding at checkout?

Yes. Buyers complete payment on PayPal's official checkout page — full PayPal branding, login, and trust badges. After approval they return to your invoice or payment confirmation.

Do I need a different PayPal account?

No. Your existing PayPal Business account works as-is. PayRequest connects through PayPal's official partner connection — the same way any approved billing tool connects.

What does it cost?

PayRequest is €20/month for unlimited invoicing, payment links, and PayPal connections. PayPal's own transaction fees still apply on each payment, exactly as they would on paypal.com.

What about refunds and disputes?

Refunds work from your PayRequest dashboard or your PayPal account — both push the refund through PayPal's standard system. Disputes appear in your PayPal Resolution Center as usual, with no extra steps.

Will conversion rates be lower than inline PayPal buttons?

In our experience, no. Buyers leave your invoice page briefly to approve on PayPal, then return. Most PayPal users prefer the full-page checkout because it shows their wallet balance and saved payment methods.
