The future of PayPal shops!
PayPal Shops
Although PayPal is recognized around the world - there are in excess of 30,000 shops listed in their directory of shops who accept PayPal - it may come as a surprise to know that in the UK there are currently only around 200 PayPal shops. This figure represents less than 1% of the total, so there is work to be done if consumers in the UK want to see this list increase. However, as publicity spreads via word of mouth and favorable feedback regarding the various positive features of this payment method, the number of retailers wishing to become known as a PayPal shop will increase. After all, it is a safer method of payment (you don't have to enter bank details), transaction time is quicker and it is easy to do.
For retailers looking to be added to the directory as a PayPal shop there are many benefits - the main one being the fact that a potential 230 million PayPal users would have access to the business' website. How many marketing campaigns can boast figures like that? In addition as one of the shops who accept PayPal retailers would receive strategies and marketing tips tailored especially for PayPal shopkeepers, along with additional sales opportunities, and a great platform from which to expand their customer base. Add to all these benefits (how many more can there be?) the fact that trading can be 24/7, we have to ask why there aren't more PayPal shops in the UK?
Because of this lack of shops who accept PayPal in the UK it can be difficult, but not impossible, to find such outlets. Apart from the official PayPal shops directory, there are websites that provide a directory, or database, of UK shops who accept PayPal and browsing through these lists we can see that there is considerable consumer demand for such outlets in the UK.
However, those retailers who have conducted the proper market research and actually listened to their customers are among the list of PayPal shops in the UK. As expected, most of the ‘Big Names' in UK retail are there - Argos; BHS; Boots; M & S; Toys' R' Us; New Look etc., but there are also quite a number of smaller, lesser known (and perhaps specialty) shops - UK Theatre Tickets; Complete Care Shop (disability aids and supplies); Bookrooms Direct; Gadget Shop.
You can even book holidays and fights just check the site for more details.
The number of PayPal shops in the UK, although small in number, offer a comprehensive selection of goods and services - everything from underwear to electrical goods, jeweler to food hampers, luxury goods to D I Y products.
