PayPal Integration in EasyStore

Title: Provide a title for this PayPal integration. This title is for your reference and can be something like "PayPal Payment."

Shop Environment: Choose between "Sandbox" or "Production" depending on whether you want to test payments in a sandbox environment or process real transactions in a production environment. 

Note: During development and testing, it's advisable to use the "Sandbox" environment to avoid actual financial transactions.

Merchant Email: Enter the email address associated with your PayPal business account. This is where payment notifications and transaction details will be sent.

Payment Note: You can add an optional payment note, which will be displayed to customers during the checkout process. This note can contain any relevant information or instructions regarding payments.

Once you've filled in the necessary information, click the "Save" or "Save & Close" button to save your PayPal integration settings. Your online store can now accept secure payments via PayPal, providing a convenient and trusted payment method for your customers.

To make the PayPal payment method available for your online store, you need to add it to your list of payment methods from EasyStore > Settings > Payments. Learn more
