Once you have confirmed that your merchant account is eligible to accept PayPal transactions, you must complete the following steps to add this payment method to your Braintree integration:
1. Sign up for a free, verified PayPal Business Account
2. Enter your PayPal credentials in the Braintree Control Panel
3. Add PayPal as a payment method using our PayPal guide in the developer docs
Required steps
Sign up for a PayPal Business Account
In order to use PayPal with Braintree, you'll need a PayPal Business Account. You can either sign up for a new account on PayPal's website or upgrade an existing PayPal Premier account by completing the following steps:
1. Go to the Settings page in your PayPal login account
2. Click Upgrade to a Business account
3. Enter your business information and follow the remaining prompts
Enter your PayPal credentials in the Braintree Control Panel
You must enter your PayPal Business Account credentials in the Braintree Control Panel to enable this payment method in production. You can only link one PayPal account to your Braintree gateway. To complete your PayPal setup:
1. Log in to the Control Panel
2. Click on the gear icon in the top right corner
3. Click Processing from the drop-down menu
4. Scroll to the Payment Methods section
5. Next to PayPal, click the toggle to access the Accept PayPal options page
6. Click the login with PayPal button
7. Enter your PayPal login credentials and click login
8. Enter the URLs to your website's Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions in the fields provided
9. Click the Submit button
REST API app
Once you have successfully linked your PayPal Business Account to your Braintree Control Panel, you may notice that a REST API app has been created in your PayPal Apps Control Panel. This app allows Braintree to interact with the PayPal API on your behalf; without it, you will be unable to process PayPal transactions through your Braintree account. We recommend that you do not delete the REST API app at any time.
Managing disputes in the Braintree Control Panel
To keep your transaction management in a centralized location, we recommend enabling PayPal disputes in your Braintree Control Panel. Learn more in our PayPal disputes support article.
