Quick Answer
How do you connect PayPal to BizStackPro?
Create a Live application through the PayPal Developer dashboard and copy its Client ID and Secret. In BizStackPro, go to Payments → Integrations, enter the PayPal credentials, and click Save.
What the PayPal Integration Does
PayPal gives customers another way to pay through eligible BizStackPro forms, order forms, payment links, invoices, and stores.
When available for the transaction and customer, Pay Later can appear alongside the standard PayPal option to provide an additional payment choice.
If another payment provider is also connected, customers can choose between PayPal, Pay Later when eligible, and the other available provider at checkout.
PayPal integration features
The integration includes real-time subscription tracking, detailed transaction history, automated sales receipts, improved subscription management, workflow automation triggers, and sales tax support.
