Can customers pay with any Visa card type to my PayPal-only store?

I would like to ask here that if the
 payment is made by the customer
 to my store and I only have a
 PayPal account, can they pay using 
all types of visa, as is common when paying online

Hey, @Ruleen! Welcome to Shopify Community!

I’d love to shed some light on your question regarding payments. Essentially, accepted credit cards are specific to the payment gateway a customer uses. Different payment gateways have unique terms, therefore it’s important to consult the payment provider for clarification on the cards they accept.

I had a look at PayPal’s help docs and they do state that they accept most major international cards, like Visa and MasterCard®. If you need clarification on the specific type of Visa cards they accept, I encourage reaching out to them as they can provide the most accurate information around this concern. You may head over to their support page here.

PayPal is a great payment gateway, as it’s trusted by many customers. While it’s an ideal option for most stores, it’s a good idea to set up other payment gateways alongside PayPal. Customers may not always prefer it or they may not have access to it, so having multiple payment providers will increase the likelihood of customers completing a sale. Moreover, relying on multiple providers rather than a single one will ensure uninterrupted service in the event of disruptions brought by a payment gateway. To see what other available payment gateways you can use in your store, you can hop on this page and enter your country to see your options.

Let me know if you have additional questions about payments and I’ll be happy to help you further!
