I often turn away from sites in favour of others if PayPal checkout is not present. Whilst I will buy using my debit card online, I'd much rather use PayPal, so if there are two sites - one with PayPal and one without - I will pick the one with PayPal, sometimes even if it's a touch more expensive.
I dislike PayPal a lot however their service is fast, secure and widespread, so I use them.
Also, I don't see why it should be an issue to have both types of checkout on your site or why that should make the UI "less than optimal" - plenty of sites manage it. I'm unsure if by "UI" you mean the design or the user experience, however I'd always recommend picking functionality over beauty if it's one vs the other :-)
- NadaAldahleh 15y agoThanks for your reply! I updated my question to include why the user experience will be compromised in my case.
- kaolinite 15y agoAh, I can see where you're coming from. I think the best approach would be to go with both and potentially have an awkward interface with PayPal. People may stop using your service because of the awkward UX, however some people won't start using your service as you don't have PayPal. Another option would be to use something like SagePay - or similar - which supports regular cards as well as PayPal, so it all happens through the one checkout. Maybe that wouldn't be possible, I don't know, but might be worth looking into.
