Everything You Need to Know
Do I need technical knowledge to set this up?
No technical background is needed. PayLexer is built for people who are not developers. The setup process is straightforward, and the documentation walks you through every step.
What if I already have PayPal set up on my site?
PayLexer works as the connection layer between your Easy Digital Downloads store and PayPal. If you have an existing PayPal setup, you can migrate to PayLexer without losing your PayPal account or transaction history.
Can I use PayPal's buy now, pay later option through PayLexer?
PayPal’s buy now, pay later option is available, depending on your PayPal account settings and the regions where you sell. PayLexer connects your Easy Digital Downloads store to PayPal and supports the payment methods available in your PayPal account.
How quickly do payments reach my PayPal account?
Payments go directly to your PayPal account as soon as a transaction is completed. PayLexer handles the connection but never holds or delays your funds.
Can I test payments before my store goes live?
PayPal provides a Sandbox environment for testing. Add your Sandbox credentials in PayLexer and run test transactions before switching to live mode.
What if I need help during or after setup?
The PayLexer support team is available to help. Reach them directly through the support page, and a real person will get back to you.
How do I add PayPal to my website?
If you’re using a supported platform, the process is straightforward. Connect your PayPal Business account in PayLexer, add your website, and enable PayPal. Most of the setup is simply copying your PayPal credentials into PayLexer.
Does PayLexer only support WordPress?
Right now, PayLexer supports WordPress platforms, including WooCommerce, WP Travel Engine, Easy Digital Downloads, and FluentCart. We’re actively working on support for additional website platforms.
Do I need a PayPal Business account?
Yes. A PayPal Business account is required to generate the API credentials used during setup. Once you have those, PayLexer guides you through the rest of the process.
Do I need a developer to connect PayPal?
No. If you already have a PayPal Business account, most of the setup is simply copying your credentials into PayLexer. The more technical parts of the integration are already handled for you.
Can I connect PayPal to more than one website?
Yes. One PayLexer account can connect PayPal to multiple supported websites, so you can manage everything from one dashboard.
