PayForce vs PayPal in Irlanda

In Dublín and the rest of Irlanda the test is: can I charge tomorrow in EUR, is the dashboard usable without a platform team, what happens on a dispute? PayForce: minutes to go live, UI in this page’s language, flat refund/dispute fees. PayPal still fits other volume or stack profiles.

Settlement is Stripe Connect destination charges. We are the product, pricing and ops layer — not a mystery acquirer. If you leave PayPal over support, holds or complexity, open a PayForce account and migrate links at your pace.

This page is for Irlanda. Amounts in EUR use the published FX table from EUR. Next step is free sign-up, not a mandatory sales call.

How collection actually works in Irlanda. PayForce does not require a local acquirer contract or a courier-delivered POS. You create the account, verify the business on Stripe Connect and issue the first Payment Link or subscription. Funds move as a destination charge: the payment originates on the platform and transfers to your connected account, with the PayForce fee visible on the dashboard.

The plan table is public and comes from the real product config: Motor de arranque at €0/month with 5,00% + €0.50 on EU cards; Pro at €25/month with 3,90% + €0.40; Crecimiento at €120; Escala at €430. Being based in Dublín does not change Irlanda pricing — FX on this page only translates EUR into EUR so the number is readable. Refunds and disputes are a flat amount, not a hidden percentage.

Checkout can live on your site, on a link, on a QR code or on the terminal. Apple Pay and Google Pay share the same payment session. SEPA applies in the euro area. Bizum when the merchant is in Spain. We do not advertise methods Stripe does not run in Irlanda. The statement descriptor is configurable so the buyer recognises the brand and does not open a dispute out of confusion.

Support, API and webhooks are sized for a small team: you do not need a payments department. Docs at /developers, sign-up at /signup. When volume grows you change plan without migrating customers or rebuilding checkout. PayForce stays the same gateway in Irlanda, with prices in EUR and operations centred on Dublín and the rest of the market.
