PayPal strikes deal with PayGate

Following the agreement, PayGate customers can now add PayPal to the list of payment methods they accept. There is no need for any kind of new bank account or any additional web development.

According to research conducted by NorthStar in late 2013, 37% of European buyers said they would not have made cross-border purchases if PayPal had not been offered as a payment method.
