Based on the data on this page, PayPal Button is the stronger choice for most Wix App Market merchants — 4.5★ vs Wix Stores's 4.1★ is a meaningful gap that usually reflects real product or support quality differences across the user base. On pricing, PayPal Button offers a free tier (Free plan available) while Wix Stores starts at Paid. For early-stage stores or merchants validating fit, the free-tier path lets you run the app on real orders before committing budget. Wix Stores has the larger user base (4,481 reviews vs 2,974), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. PayPal Button's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat. Recommended by store size: small/early-stage merchants who need fast install and low risk should default to PayPal Button; mid-market and enterprise merchants with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Wix Stores's 4,481-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than PayPal Button's broader-but-shallower coverage. This verdict is generated from the live marketplace data on this page — rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position all refresh from the canonical Wix App Market listing every 24 hours.
