If you’re setting up an online store with Hostinger Website Builder, one of the most important steps is adding a payment gateway so you can start accepting payments from your customers. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to easily connect PayPal or other payment options inside the Hostinger platform — no coding required.
Step 1: Log In to Your Hostinger Account
Start by logging into your Hostinger account. From your dashboard, navigate to the “Websites” section. Find the website where you want to add the payment gateway, and click on Edit Website.
Step 2: Switch to Store Management
Once inside the Hostinger Website Builder, switch from the website editor to the Manage Store panel. This gives you access to all the eCommerce features, including payment options.
Step 3: Access Payment Settings
Click on Settings, then scroll down and select Payments. Depending on your business location, you may see different options. For example, if your store is registered in Morocco, you might only see PayPal and manual payments available.
To unlock more payment gateways like Stripe, consider temporarily switching your store location to United States. This gives you access to a broader range of options supported by Hostinger.
Step 4: Connect PayPal
In this video walkthrough, the creator connects PayPal as the payment gateway:
- Click Connect next to PayPal
- Enter your PayPal email address
- Log in to your PayPal Business account to authorize the connection
- Once done, go back to Hostinger to confirm the integration
Your PayPal gateway is now live and ready to accept payments!
Why This Matters
Without a payment gateway, your eCommerce website won’t be able to collect payments from customers. Hostinger makes the process straightforward, and with just a few clicks, you can go live with PayPal or other services depending on your region.
