Case Study: Bee Raw frees up time to grow the business with PayPal

Bee Raw Freeing up time to help grow the business, using PayPal.

Bee Raw, founded by Zeke Freeman to sell raw, artisanal honey, has grown about 20% annually while operating from a home office and selling online, at specialty retailers, and in food markets. The company needed a way to accept and track payments across in-person markets, mobile and desktop e‑commerce, and a wholesale site, plus occasional short‑term capital to buy inventory for peak seasons.

PayPal provided an integrated solution—PayPal Here for on‑site card and PayPal payments, PayPal Express Checkout and Payments Pro for web and mobile sales, and PayPal Working Capital for inventory financing—so Bee Raw could centralize receipts and automate loan repayments. The result: roughly 75% of revenue flows through PayPal, PayPal Here accounts for about 20% of sales, 32% of annual sales come from mobile, and the streamlined payments and funding have freed time to focus on growth.
