How much does PayPal take on Checkout? Merchants mean the locked PayPal Checkout row — 3.49%+$0.49 — not Standard card, Goods & Services, or Venmo twins. On a fixed $100 charge that is $3.98 fees and $96.02 KEEP — identical to /paypal-checkout-keep/ first-paint and the payment pairwise pages. This question SERP mirror states that answer first, then links the KEEP hub, exact-answers, compare, and methodology. Monthly/plan stays typed $0 and is never baked into KEEP. Planning only; confirm on PayPal’s merchant fees Checkout row. Checkout processors comparing Stripe or Square Online can open those hubs next; this URL stays soft-CTA free.
