PayPal integration lets you accept payments through one of the world’s most recognized payment platforms. Customers can pay using their PayPal balance, linked bank account, or credit/debit card through the PayPal checkout flow — without needing to enter card details directly on your page.

​
Setting up PayPal

1

Navigate to payment integrations

Go to Payments > Payment Integrations in the HoopAI platform.
2

Connect PayPal

Find PayPal in the integrations list and click Connect. You will be redirected to PayPal to authorize the connection.
3

Authorize with your PayPal Business account

Log in to your PayPal Business account and grant the HoopAI platform permission to process payments. A personal PayPal account will not work — you need a Business account.
4

Confirm the connection

After authorization, you are redirected back to HoopAI. The integration status shows Connected.

​
Supported payment types

​
PayPal on order forms

When PayPal is connected and enabled on a funnel order form:
  1. The PayPal button appears alongside the standard credit card payment option.
  2. The customer clicks the PayPal button and is redirected to PayPal to complete payment.
  3. After payment, the customer is returned to your funnel’s next step (thank-you page or upsell).
To enable PayPal on an order form, open the order form element settings in the builder and toggle PayPal on under payment methods.

​
PayPal for invoices

When creating or sending an invoice:
  1. PayPal appears as an available payment method if the integration is connected.
  2. The customer receives the invoice and can choose to pay via PayPal or credit card.
  3. Payment confirmation is recorded in Payments > Transactions.

​
Fees

PayPal charges its own transaction fees on top of any HoopAI platform fees. Standard PayPal Business rates apply — typically 2.9% + $0.30 per domestic transaction, with higher rates for international payments. Check your PayPal account for your specific rate.

​
PayPal vs Stripe

Offer both Stripe and PayPal on your order forms. Some customers strongly prefer PayPal, and offering it as an option can increase conversion rates by 5-15% depending on your audience.
PayPal integration requires a PayPal Business account. Personal PayPal accounts cannot be used for merchant payments. Upgrade to a Business account at paypal.com if needed.
