PayPal has been our primary payment provider, and it with its child Venmo are still a major player in payment. The chief advantage PayPal brings is easy copy-paste code for one-button shopping, which is really nice for our website design.

However, we would still need a more robust system to support setting up recurring payments, and it would be nice to remove an additional partner. In addition, Google Pay's fees are a little less which matters a lot for us.

An easy reference for PayPal's one-button set-up is here: https://www.paypal.com/merchantapps/appcenter/acceptpayments/checkout

Contrast that with the several days of setup and attestation with Google: https://developers.google.com/pay/api/web/overview

Following up with @jml, we are trying Stripe for our payments -- their pricing schedule seems to be on-par with others and they support Google Pay and other digital wallets.
