How to connect a PayPal account
You can add a checkout button to message templates and accept user payments to your PayPal account. To integrate PayPal with SendPulse, you need to create a connection to PayPal, add an event to track and insert the ID for authorization in SendPulse.
Create an app in PayPal
Log into your PayPal account and go to the PayPal Developer page in the Dashboard section.
Go to the My apps & credentials tab and select the type of application.
Live is the main type of connection for monetary transactions.
Sandbox is a copy of the live environment for testing, but without money transactions and real data. Use it to test the integration.
Click Create app to create a connection.
Enter a name for the app.
Click Create app. Your application has been successfully created, and you will see an access key for integration with other systems.
Copy the values from the Client ID, you will need it later.
