# Integrate Zoho Invoice with PayPal

PayPal is a comprehensive online payments solution that allows you to securely collect payments from your customers.

By integrating PayPal with Zoho Invoice, you can receive payments using multiple [payment methods](/invoice/help/online-payments/paypal.html#Payment-Methods) and [currencies](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/reports/reference/paypal-supported-currencies/), configure bank accounts and cards linked to PayPal to fetch feeds, match, and reconcile transactions. You can track payments received via PayPal using reports.

**Note:**

*   You’re viewing the help document for the enhanced PayPal integration. If you’ve enabled the integration before 30 June 2024, upgrade to the latest version by converting your PayPal Personal account to a Business account. The old integration will be discontinued soon.
    
*   PayPal Payflow and Payments Pro integrations are deprecated and available only for existing users in Zoho Invoice.
    

## Payment Methods

Your customers can make payments using a range of payment methods such as cards, BNPL, 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](https://www.paypal.com/us/digital-wallet/ways-to-pay/credit-services/paypal-credit) and [Pay Later](https://www.paypal.com/us/digital-wallet/ways-to-pay/buy-now-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 easily.

**Note:** Transaction charges are applicable as per [PayPal’s pricing policy](https://www.paypal.com/us/business/paypal-business-fees). Zoho does not charge any additional fees.

## Set Up PayPal

To set up PayPal in Zoho Invoice, you must have a PayPal Business account. If you don’t have an account already, you can [create one](https://www.paypal.com/bizsignup/partner#/checkAccount) from Zoho Invoice and proceed with the integration.

To set up the integration:

*   Go to Settings and select Online Payments.
*   Click **Set Up Now** next to _PayPal_.
*   You will be redirected to the PayPal portal. Enter your **Email ID** and select your **Country or region**, and click **Next**.
*   Enter your password, and click **Log In**.

Your organization will be integrated, and you will be redirected back to Zoho Invoice. Here, you can view details of your integration like the _Account Status_ and _Merchant ID_. By default, PayPal clearing account is configured.

**Note:** The integration in Zoho Invoice will be in the disabled status if your PayPal account is inactive or unverified. Once active and verified, it will be updated as active.

## Collect Customer Payments

### Enable Payment Options

After setting up the integration in Zoho Invoice, enable PayPal as a payment option in invoices to receive payments.

Here’s how to enable:

*   Go to the _Invoices_ module.
*   Create a new invoice with the necessary details or click **Edit** on the particular invoice.
*   Scroll to the bottom of the page and check **PayPal** as a payment option.

**Note:** If you have multiple payment gateways selected under payment options, the payment gateway that was last configured will be used to receive payments.

*   Click **Save**.

### Receive Payments from Customers

After you’ve enabled PayPal as a payment option, you can start receiving customer payments through the shared link or the customer portal.

To make payments, your customer will have to:

*   View the invoice from the customer portal or email.
    
*   Click the **Pay Now** button.
    
*   Select the preferred payment method, PayPal or Venmo.
    
    *   **PayPal:** Your customer will be redirected to PayPal’s checkout page, where they can choose either cards or PayPal credit.

    *   **Venmo:** Your customer must scan the generated QR using the venmo app.
*   Enter the required credentials in the popup that appears.
    

**Insight:** Customers can verify the line items before making the payment in the PayPal payment page. This option is not available for partial payments.

*   Click **Pay** to complete the payment.

Once the payment is made, it will be instantly recorded in Zoho Invoice.

**Note:** Only active integrations can receive payments via the PayPal integration. The PayPal integration will be active only when your PayPal account is verified and a transaction has been processed in the last 12 months.

## Delete the Integration

If you no longer want to use this integration, you can delete it after unchecking PayPal as a payment option in unpaid invoices.

**Warning:** PayPal is automatically enabled across all your Zoho Finance apps, so disabling it in one app will disable it in all other apps.

Here’s how to delete:

*   Go to _Settings_ and select _Online Payments_.
*   Click the **Delete** icon next to _PayPal_.
*   Click **Ok** to confirm and delete.

PayPal will be deleted from Zoho Invoice.

**Insight:** Deleting the integration will not disable the bank feeds.
