PayPal’s CEO, Alex Chriss, said, "Businesses of all sizes face incredible pressure when growing globally, from increased costs for accepting international payments to complex integrations". He added:

Today, we’re removing these barriers and helping every business of every size achieve their goals.

This update follows another recent announcement from the company. On July 23, PayPal shared plans to launch a new feature this fall called PayPal World. That platform is meant to connect local wallets to PayPal’s larger network, which includes billions of users worldwide.

Chriss described both updates as part of a plan to make online commerce easier and more open. He said the new tools are not just about payment processing, as they are also meant to help businesses grow, give buyers more choices, and lower costs.
