[...] Recently, PayPal is one of the platforms that accept bitcoin payments. While not all online stores accept PayPal as a payment method, more and more do, with the financial transaction platform gaining notoriety with consumers every year. Online stores must comply with the new demands of consumers, who are more and more numerous in wanting this means of payment. In addition, PayPal will be able to continue its development in emerging countries, which will allow it to expand its customer base and gain notoriety. [...]

[...] SWOT Analysis of PayPal A. Strengths PayPal has a strong presence worldwide, which gives it a leading position in the segment of online payment methods. Indeed, the platform is active in more than 200 countries and is today one of the preferred means of payment for users all over the world. PayPal is a very secure tool, handy in a society where online orders keep increasing. The majority of consumers do not always appreciate having to provide their banking information on websites, and this is one of the main reasons that prevent them from ordering at too high a price.

However, even the youngest customers like the ease of use, Internet users do not like wasting time and want an optimised and immediately understandable platform. [...]

[...] In 2020, PayPal had 22,000 employees. If the platform is performing so well, this is largely due to the increase in online orders, with e-commerce growing by 13% per year. Online sales represent more than 100 billion euros in 2019 and more than 150 billion in 2020. Finally, it should be noted that more than 20 million French people made online purchases directly via their mobile in 2020. C.
