PayPal

What it does

Connect your PayPal Business account and clients can pay a booking deposit, an invoice or a print order with PayPal, or with a card through PayPal.

You make an app in PayPal's developer area and paste its client ID and secret into Mankai. The money goes to your own PayPal account, and PayPal's normal fees apply.

How Mankai works with PayPal

After a client pays, PayPal tells Mankai through a webhook for the event Payment capture completed, and Mankai records the payment. You add that webhook in your PayPal app and paste its webhook ID into Mankai.

Practice in Sandbox with PayPal test accounts, then switch to Live. Sandbox and Live have separate apps and separate keys.

Good to know

• One payment processor takes payments at a time. You choose PayPal or Stripe, not both.
• One currency per processor. Mankai does not convert currencies.
• You need a PayPal Business account.

How to set up

1. In Mankai, open Settings, then Integrations, and press Set up on the PayPal card.
2. Copy the Webhook address.
3. In PayPal's developer dashboard, choose Sandbox or Live, open your app, and add a webhook with that address for Payment capture completed.
4. Copy the app's Client ID and secret into Mankai, and choose the matching Mode.
5. Copy the Webhook ID from PayPal into Mankai, then press Save.
6. Press Test connection. Make sure the PayPal card says In use, then save the settings.
