Integrate Zoho Checkout with PayPal

PayPal is a comprehensive online payments solution that allows you to collect payments from your customers securely. By integrating PayPal with Zoho Checkout, you can receive one-time payments using multiple payment methods and currencies.

Set Up PayPal

To set up PayPal in Zoho Checkout, you must have a PayPal Business account. If you don’t have an account already, you can create one from Zoho Checkout and proceed with the integration.

To set up:

1. Go to Settings and select Payment Gateways.
2. Click Configure next to PayPal.
3. You will be redirected to the PayPal portal. Enter your Email ID and select your Country or region, and click Next.
4. Enter your password, and click Log In.

Your organization will be integrated, and you will be redirected back to Zoho Checkout. Here, you can view details of your integration like the Account Status, Merchant ID, and bank accounts to track payments. By default, the PayPal clearing account is configured.

Payment Methods

PayPal offers multiple payment methods such as cards, Buy Now Pay Later, and Venmo.

Cards

PayPal allows your customers to split payments across multiple credit or debit cards, choosing specific amounts for each. PayPal supports VISA, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, JCB, and UnionPay cards.

Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL)

PayPal provides payment options that offer a line of credit through which your customers can buy now and pay later. It supports two BNPL options: PayPal Credit and Pay Later.

Venmo

Venmo is a peer-to-peer payment solution that your customers from the United States can use to make payments in US dollars.
