(This is a translation of the press release issued by PayPal Holdings, Inc. on April 9, 2026)
PayPal (PayPal Pte. Ltd. Headquarters: Singapore, Tokyo Branch Japan Head of Business: Michihiko Yoden, hereinafter "PayPal"), a global leader in commerce platforms, announced today that PayPal's "Payment Links" are now available on the visual communication platform "Canva". This allows 265 million monthly active users worldwide to embed payment functionality into their created designs and receive payments directly. Through this initiative, creators, entrepreneurs, and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) can seamlessly connect design to payment, accommodating various payment methods preferred by customers through PayPal's highly reliable global platform.
Previously, many creators had to direct customers to external websites, build separate online stores, or manage complex e-commerce tools to complete a purchase. PayPal's "Payment Links" on Canva eliminates these challenges, enabling creators to receive payments directly on their designs and monetize their content.
The global social commerce market is predicted to exceed $1 trillion by 2028 (*1), and transactions are increasingly being completed within content, communication, or even communities, rather than traditional online stores. Under these circumstances, having a mechanism to monetize the content they broadcast, regardless of format or channel, is becoming increasingly important for creators to maintain and strengthen their competitiveness.
Taira Hall, Senior Vice President and Head of SMB Commercial at PayPal, stated, "Modern entrepreneurs are deploying businesses that generate real-time revenue not just by building traditional online stores, but through social content, online communities, and direct communication with customers. By combining PayPal's reliable global payment infrastructure with Canva's creative workflow, we smoothly connect inspiration to monetization, responding at the exact moment a need arises. With PayPal integrated directly into Canva, creators can proceed seamlessly from creation to payment."
With PayPal's "Payment Links", Canva users can do the following:
