Stopping the use of PayPal makes it so we get ranked lower in google search results. If I link my google merchant account to PayPal I will get ranked higher. Not allowing the option hurts my business and is now a factor that I have absolutely no control over. I don't know why this option was discontinued, and we were not given an explanation.
This is what google merchant says about PayPal
"Your PayPal account used for checkout should be associated with the same website domain as your Merchant Center account."
Now that Square doesn't accept PayPal I am not considered a " trusted retailer".
In the email of the explanation of why PayPal was discontinued this is what was stated. "This change is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance the performance and reliability of Square Online."
This does not enhance the "reliability" for my business and many other small businesses who are trying to rank higher in the already hard to rank search results.
Please consider allowing PayPal as a payment option again. Thank you
