PayPal
Let customers pay from their PayPal balance or linked methods through your own PayPal business account.
How it works#
PayPal appears as its own tile on the checkout whenever it is enabled and the checkout is fiat-denominated. Choosing it redirects the buyer to PayPal's hosted payment page; when PayPal confirms, the transaction completes automatically.
- Payments are verified through PayPal's IPN callback, validated back against PayPal's servers - spoofed notifications are rejected
Pendinge-checks are accepted and tracked; cancellations and failures never mark paid- The buyer's PayPal id and email are appended to the transaction for your records
- Funds go to your PayPal account; U.CASH never touches them
Setup#
- Open Settings → Processors/Gateways (requires the processors permission)
- Enter your PayPal business email under PayPal
- Turn PayPal active on
- Optional: enable sandbox and use a sandbox business email to test end to end without real money
That is the whole configuration - there are no API keys to generate. The notification endpoint is operated by U.CASH and already pointed at your account.
At checkout#
- PayPal gets a dedicated tile separate from the card tile
- The buyer is redirected to PayPal, pays, and returns to your redirect URL
- Card-brand payments inside PayPal follow PayPal's own rules; the U.CASH card tile (Stripe or 2Checkout) is the direct card rail
- PayPal is hidden on crypto-denominated checkouts, like every fiat rail
Good to know
- PayPal fees are PayPal's own - U.CASH does not add a processor surcharge beyond your plan's fees
- Refunds are issued from your PayPal dashboard; the U.CASH transaction records the original payment
- Supported currencies follow your PayPal account's settings
