Be sure to select a mode first before creating an app to receive your credentials. Once pressed you will be taken to the page where you can create your app.

After you created the app you will be taken to the page where you can fetch the client id, the client secret key and paste those into your workspace integration settings for PayPal.

Optional could be to also add a redirection after payment. This allows you to point to a success flow inside your chatbot for example, or maybe a thank you page instead.

Insert your PayPal details

Once you copied and pasted all the details in your workspace integration section press save and you should see a verified notification popping up in the top right corner.

How to use PayPal in your bot

Soon as your account has been connected you will have two ways of using this in your chatbots.

First thing you need to make sure you have set PayPal as a payment method inside your e-commerce store settings.

Setting your payment method

From your main Dashboard go to Ecommerce on the left-hand menu.

Scroll all the way down until you see the section called Payment Method. From here select PayPal as one of the methods for your ecommerce store. Don’t forget to press save to let the changes take effect.

Use checkout to let customers pay with PayPal

Using the built-in ecommerce store is a fantastic way of selling your products. Once the user presses the checkout button in the conversation they will be taken to the online checkout section where they now can select PayPal to pay with.
