Frequently Asked Questions

What data is included in the PayPal Credit e-commerce intelligence?

We track 9.9k verified PayPal Credit e-commerce stores whose profiles can include: e-commerce platform, product counts, categories, payment providers, shipping carriers, technology stack, merchant-size signals, and available business contact fields.

How is the data collected and how often is it updated?

We rebuild the searchable index typically every 2–4 weeks. Observation dates vary by source and field; a rebuild does not mean every website was observed again. This public report has its own publication date and may use an older snapshot than the live catalog. Coverage varies by field and market. A missing payment or carrier signal means we did not detect it, not that the merchant does not use it.

How do I access the data?

Self-service plans give you instant access through our web app and REST API. You can search, filter, and segment stores interactively or integrate programmatically into your workflows. View plans →

Can I filter by specific segments?

Yes. You can segment by country, platform, product category, payment provider, shipping carrier, technology stack, store age, cross-border signals, and merchant-size bands. Some advanced signals are plan-gated, and the same field contract is used by the web app, exports, and API.

Do you offer enterprise or custom licensing?

Yes. For large-scale data needs, custom market reports, or dedicated support, contact us to discuss enterprise pricing.
