How to Start Using PayPal Payments<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

Payment gateways allow you to accept credit cards, debit cards, and many other payment methods through WHMCS. If you want to accept payments from your customers, you need to activate and configure at least one payment gateway.<\/p>\n

PayPal is one of the most common ways to accept payments. WHMCS 8.9 introduced\u00a0PayPal Payments<\/strong>, our newest PayPal payment gateway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Why Choose PayPal Payments?<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

In addition to being our newest PayPal integration,\u00a0PayPal Payments\u00a0<\/strong>uses PayPal’s latest secure tokenization system. Your customers can easily store their PayPal payment details, use them for recurring payments, and select them for faster checkout on future purchases.<\/p>\n

PayPal Payments\u00a0<\/strong>ensures the security of your customers stored payment details with merchant-level vaulting through PayPal Vault, now available for PayPal merchant accounts in\u00a0PayPal-supported countries. It also supports disputes, and you can view your current merchant account balance at\u00a0Billing > Transactions List<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Activate PayPal Payments<\/h2>\n
\n
\n

To activate\u00a0PayPal Payments\u00a0<\/strong>in WHMCS 8.9 or later:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to\u00a0Configuration > Apps & Integrations\u00a0<\/strong>and choose the\u00a0Payments\u00a0<\/strong>category.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    2. Find\u00a0PayPal Payments\u00a0<\/strong>in the list and click on it. Information about the payment gateway module and its available features will display.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    3. Click\u00a0Activate.<\/strong>The system will redirect you to the gateway configuration page at\u00a0Configuration > System Settings > Payment Gateways<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    4. Enter the credentials for your PayPal merchant account. You can link your live merchant account to start accepting payments right away, link a Sandbox account for testing purposes, or configure both.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    If you don’t already have an account with PayPal, sign up for one.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    WHMCS will prompt you for permission to access your PayPal account. This is necessary in order to process payments and handle many important actions.<\/p>\n

    5. Click\u00a0Confirm<\/strong>. The API credentials for your account will appear, WHMCS will save them automatically, and the page will refresh.<\/p>\n

    6. If you entered the credentials for a live merchant account, uncheck\u00a0Test Mode<\/strong>. We enable\u00a0Test Mode\u00a0<\/strong>by default for this payment gateway.<\/p>\n

    7. If you want to display this payment gateway during checkout in the Client Area, check\u00a0Show on Order Form<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    8. Click\u00a0Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    PayPal Payments\u00a0<\/strong>will now be available for admins when they process transactions and, if you enabled it, for clients when they complete the checkout process.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Display PayPal Card Payments<\/h2>\n
    \n
    \n

    When you activate\u00a0PayPal Payments<\/strong>, WHMCS also automatically activates\u00a0PayPal Card Payments<\/strong>. This module augments\u00a0PayPal Payments<\/strong>, allowing you the option to visually separate the PayPal checkout experience from credit and debit card payments while still processing and collecting funds using your PayPal merchant account.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n

    Even though\u00a0PayPal Card Payments\u00a0<\/strong>doesn’t display PayPal branding, it will still process cards securely on your website using PayPal Advanced Checkout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    PayPal Card Payments\u00a0<\/strong>uses the account configuration that you set up for\u00a0PayPal Payments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    If you want to display this option to clients, check\u00a0Show on Order Form\u00a0<\/strong>and save your changes.<\/p>\n
